One Month Postpartum

Today we went for Liv's one month checkup and my little lovey has gained 3.5 lbs since birth putting her in the 96th percentile for weight.  She is now 22 1/4 inches in length and her head measures 14 1/2 inches.  The only small thing about her is her head which she gets from her daddy.  Her head circumference equates to the 40th percentile.  The doctor said she is very muscular and has a strength of a two month old.  Of course this was not surprising since she can hold her head up so well.  Typically she sleeps 2 hours at a time during the night but we have seen some 5 hour stretches this past week.  Currently she is sleeping in my bed on her belly.  I know everyone preaches that back is best but she sleeps much more soundly on her stomach.

So far I have lost 30 lbs but have 16 more to go.  Pediatrician said it's ok to run with Liv in her carseat strapped to my jogging stroller so that will begin this week.
