Gracie is one month old

Today is Gracie's one month birthday. She looked so cute in a new outfit.
Kim brought over some new outfits for Gracie and dressed her in this cute outfit with a piggy hat (see picture below). Gracie is doing well today even though the nursery is like a zoo these days. There must have been a blizzard about 9 months ago cause there are babies being delivered here like crazy. Gracie is now 4 lbs 6.6 ozs. Her head circumference grew a 1/2 centimeter and she is now 17 inches long. She was 15 inches at birth. We just found out that Gracie has an umbilical hernia which is a little hole in the intestinal wall. It should close up on its own somewhere between 1 and 3 years old. The docs will just monitor it and see how it goes. I just got done feeding Gracie and doing a call for work. I am updating this from the pediatric playroom at the hospital. Yes, I am sitting in a chair made for kindergarden kids. Anyway, I wanted to give you an update since I have been MIA for a few days.
