Victoria is One Month Old

It's been one month since Victoria was born. Even though she's only one month old it is also hard to imagine our life without "baby sister."



Tori's a sweet & mellow girl. She has slept at night pretty well since we brought her home from the hospital. Actually, she sleeps too well. One night she slept 8 hours. I was shocked when I looked at the clock! We have had a series of weight checks and she is not gaining weight at the pace the doctor would like. So no more long stretches at night are allowed. At her one month weight check she was 8lbs. 6oz. She was born at 8lbs. 2oz. A baby should return to birth weight at week 2 and gain an ounce a day after week 2. We also had to have her tongue "clipped." Her frenulum is short and makes it hard for a proper latch for nursing. Hopefully this all helps and soon she'll be a chub like her big brothers were.







Jack and Bryce are amazing big brothers! Jack loves to dote on her. They have taken to calling her "Sis" and it's stuck. In fact most of the time we call her Sis or Baby Sister.
