Becca at 1 month

So, Today is Becca's 1 month!! 
Wow, I really can't get over how fast that went. I feel like I just left the hospital the other day. To sum up the first month is that it has been the biggest learning experience of my life. I really learn something new everyday. I tend to be a control freak and am very hard on myself for everything to be perfect. That is the BIGGEST hold back when you have a child. Clearly, no one or nothing is perfect. There were days full of tears and days full of smiles and I believe it is going to continue that way. Welcome to parenthood right?
She is the most amazing thing in the world. I can't grasp how big of a connection I have with someone who can't even talk. I love her with all of my heart and would do anything for her.
She is doing beautifully. She is 22 inches long (90th percentile)! She is going to be a tall girl. Can we sign her up for volleyball now? She weighs 9lbs 14oz (75th percentile). Weight is such a nerve racking thing to hear, especially if your breastfeeding because you really hope that what your body is making is enough for your growing child. So, I am extremely happy that she is gaining weight. Her head is 14 1/2 inches round. 
At this point in time, she is feeding well and sleeping well. She is in her own crib and gets up once in the night.
God has blessed me with the best thing in life. I am enjoying it everyday.

Rebecca Taylor Conwell was born August 27th, 2010 @ 7:59pm
Weighing 8lbs 4oz.
20 inches long and beautiful!
Even though she was a week late we couldn't be happier.

I was only in labor for 10 hours and pushed for 30 minutes. My doctor was impressed for a first time mother. They said usually first time mothers push for 2-3 hours!! I guess I just really wanted her here. We checked in on a Friday and was home Sunday afternoon. We love our little family!
