The Brunkers: Molly-1 Month

Miss Molly Kate is 1 month old! That was a quick month! I know time is going to go 10 times faster than it did with Brooklyn! We are so excited to watch another little one grow and learn right in front of our eyes!

What has Molly been up to this month: (Brooklyn's 1st month update is here)

Molly's first doctors appointment was on 10/7

she got her tongue snipped-she was tongue tied and not nursing well.
she weighed 7 pounds 12 ounces at 4 days old!
she has a small heart murmur-we will continue to follow up! 80% of newborns have heart murmurs when they are born, most go away...

First outing was to Babies R Us
She is a very noisy nurser!
Her umbilical cord fell off on her 1 week birthday!
10/15 was her second doctors appointment (2 week appointment):

weighed 8 pounds 7 ounces! Big girl!
heart murmur is GONE!! Thank you Jesus!!

On 10/22 we went to the doctor for acid reflux (just like big sister)

started baby zantac twice a day

Left eye started getting watery and green yucky stuff-at first we thought this was the first signs of a clogged tear duct, just like big sister. Turns out, it was a virus Molly had. She was sick for about 2 weeks. She had a yucky eye and a horrible stuffy nose. It was very difficult for her to breathe. We did a lot of suctioning and nursing was hard!
every day she is awake more and more, very alert with big eyes!
1st Halloween, dressed up as a flower!
Mommy and daddy went out already, to a wedding! Nana watched both girls by herself!
When she cries she sounds like a dinosaur! Pterodactyl as daddy calls it!
So far, she is an easy baby...we will see what the next month brings!!
