Jocelyn's first month of life consisted mainly of sleeping, eating, and doctor's appointments. Thankfully so many of her health concerns have checked out to be total non-issues at this point, and it seems that the doctor's visits will become less frequent. Weight gain was one concern, and at her one month check up she was 7 lbs, 14 oz, at the 12th percentile. She is a tiny little squirt, but we're seeing consistent growth now -- a huge answer to prayer.
So far Jocelyn is a calm and gentle little girl. So, so sweet. She is starting to follow toys with her eyes, and she focuses on faces a little. There are hints of a smile starting that melt my heart. I can usually swaddle her and sing her to sleep in about 30 seconds. She sleeps really well at night, usually waking twice and sometimes only once. Her current list of nicknames includes: Joss, Baby J, Little Baby J, Little Missy, and Nap Buddy. (That last one is for the evenings when Chris snuggles her to sleep while I am caring for The Toddler.)
