Happy 1 month Gia!!

It is so hard to believe that yesterday 5/31/11 was my actual due date and our little love has been here 1 month already!! There have been so many changes we have noticed. Gia follows us with her eyes and she is super attentive to light, colors, and shapes we hold in front of her. She has also plumped up too!! There is a definite difference in her weight which is awesome!! She is now filling out her little outfits very nicely. Gia has some grip!! People are commenting on how strong she already is for her size.. yes Gia, that is mommy's girl!!! She loves to put her arms up and raise those hands in the air, my mom said I used to do the same thing! In fact, my hospital baby picture has me doing that!! Her faces crack me up especially after the she is done eating, that "milk drunk" look is hysterical!! I also mimic the faces she makes back at her and have a ball doing it. I actually laugh at loud all the time, even at 4 am!! She still wakes me every 2 hours to eat at night, it has not been easy. This morning she actually slept from 2:45 am until 5:30 am which was a nice stretch and what a difference it made with me with that little bit more time of shut eye!! We noticed yesterday her little belly button was protruding more than normal. So, I called the Dr. and they said it was nothing to worry about and very common as long as the area is not discolored, her belly button is not hard, and she does not get upset when it is touched. None of that happened thank God. It is called an umbilical hernia which makes the belly button look like an protruding outie. It can occur from birth, straining, crying etc. So, we will keep an eye on it and it will go away in time, but again it is nothing to worry about the Dr. said, so we were relieved. All in all, Gia is doing great she is just so precious and there are no words to describe the amount of love we have for her. WE just keep kissing that little face, those hands and feetsies!! Mommy and Daddy love you to the moon and back little one!!
