The first month of Maryn Kate’s life has passed so quickly before my eyes! She has grown so much! We have been blessed to have family here most of the month. She has met all of her grandparents and her Uncle Michael. Her growth has amazed me! She is such a good eater! This has been such a blessing for me. Feeding was such a struggle with Mattie. I know part of it was probably my first-time mom stress. Things are going great with Maryn though!

I know that newborns sleep a lot but other babies have nothing on Maryn Kate. She is a sleeping professional!
I'm awake, a month old, and AMAZING!!!
This week was a little rough for me. I developed mastitis and had to go to the doctor and get some pretty heavy antibiotics going. I developed the infection while I was taking another antibiotic for the worst sinus infection I have ever had in my life. It really goes to show that different antibiotics do different tricks. Feeling much better now!
So the title of this blog comes from Mattie Grace. She does her own thing most of the time but this week she was helping me do some chores and she looked up at me with her big blue eyes and said “We’re a great team Mommy!” My heart skipped a beat. She is so sweet. She is also so sensitive!!! We have not struggled with sibling jealously but Mattie wears her “feelings” on her sleeve. If we have to correct her she thinks we are mad at her. That has been hard for me to deal with. I hate to upset her but she has to learn her new role in our family.
Matt was out of town on business most of the week and that was hard for her. She was outside playing and drew a picture for her daddy with sidewalk chalk. It was a “trunk with a roller coaster inside.” She knows her daddy loves roller coasters! Motherhood is the best job ever!
Mattie's picture for daddy!
