Today I am taking a deep, contented breath. Mom has finally come to visit for the first time since Scout's birth. I've missed her so much. I spent the night at Mamaw's and having their help has been so wonderful. Although I love Scout, it's nice to have other people hold and dote on her for awhile. Last night Mom would put Scout to sleep after I nursed her so that I could go to bed and get a few more minutes of sleep. That is such a luxury!! I appreciate it so much because I know she was exhausted from her extremely busy day.
Brandon and I are taking Scout to the pediatrician this morning for her 1-month "well visit." We really don't have any major concerns other than her persistent diaper rash. We change her often and use diaper cream, but it has never gone away.
Aside from the diaper rash she seems to be thriving. She has grown quickly, gaining weight and getting longer at an impressive rate! It's amazing that my body produces the nourishment she needs to do that. Breast milk really is nature's perfect food...well, at least for babies!
As I am writing, Scout is in the loving arms of her great grandmother. She is slowly waking and will be pretty hungry when she finally does. Four generations under one roof - what a blessing.
