One Month

Maura's first month went fairly well. We had some difficulties with eating and sleeping, but she is a sweet girl who continues to bring us joy and make our family complete.

It took all two weeks for Maura to regain her birth weight. She would only eat a few minutes at each feeding. We had a lactation consultant come and help me and reassure me that Maura was indeed eating. Her umbilical cord came off after a few weeks, but continued to have some slight, normal discharge.

Nathan's parents came to meet Maura and to spend time with Holden during the first week of November, my brother came to visit the second week of November, and we had an abundance of friends stop by with dinner, gifts and well wishes the entire month.
