One Month Old!

I seriously can't believe Oliver is one month old today.  I'm pretty sure I'm just barely realizing that I have a baby!  Maybe the fact that he was in the NICU for more than half that month has something to do with it.  Or maybe because he's still not even supposed to be born yet!!
 But either way, I'm loving him so much.  He is the sweetest baby.  There is something extremely calming about Oliver.  He has a peaceful sweet spirit that releases all my stress when I hold him.  Sounds like the perfect fourth baby, no?
 Today I put him in the same outfit that Ethan and Cooper wore when they were one month old.  It was way too big for Oliver, but I made it work and it was so fun!  I'll have to post comparison pictures tomorrow or something because that's just fun.
This baby is a rock star at eating.  The first week home, he gained 14 ounces in five days.  One of the many miracles.  I'm STILL amazed every day that he NEVER spits up.  Amazing for any baby, especially a preemie.  But he's a champion burper.  And grunter.  And recently started arching and stretching which is the absolute cutest.

Oliver, I love you!!  A super huge HOORAY for your first month of life!
