Lyla's First Month

Life has been CRAZY since we brought Lyla home from the hospital. I am so behind with blogging, and I need to get it done before I forget things that I want to remember! Her first month was busy, fun, stressful, and awesome all at the same time. :) I was a little nervous once all our visitors left and Chris went back to work cause it was just going to be me and Lyla most of the time. I was scared I wouldn't know how to take care of her and just be a terrible mother. But, fortunately things have just worked themselves out and I am loving my life as a mommy.

About 9 days after she was born her eye got really red and swollen with lots of pus coming out of it. We took her to the doctor and found out it was a clogged tear duct. It made me so sad seeing her like that.  The doctor gave us some ointment to rub on her eye, but I found out that squirting breastmilk in her eye was a lot more effective. It cleared up in 2 days!

 

She is a pretty good sleeper during the day. She loves her naps. Night is a different story. We have good days and bad days. I have been trying to get her in a good routine and try to help her sleep better at night, but of course everyday is different and sometimes it doesn't go like I would like. Hopefully it will all even out, right? :)

 

 

 

 

We are so in love with our little girl. We are having so much fun watching her grow and seeing her personality come out. She absolutely hates baths and riding in the car. She screams so loud you would think we were torturing her! haha I am hoping that changes as she gets a little older.

I got her newborn photos done when she was about 11 days old, and it was so much fun! It was really cool to see how they are done. They definitely take a long time to do (it took about 3 hours for hers), with lots of calming her down, and moving very slowly to keep her asleep and relaxed. But she did great and I love how her pictures turned out!

 

 

 

Here she is at 1 Month! Now I have more week till she turns 2 months and have to do another post! Hopefully I will be more on top of things for that one. :)
