Reagan came home shortly before her 1 month mark so her newborn and 1 month doctor's visit were all rolled into one! Its hard to think of my baby as a one month old, because she just came home she feels more like a newborn to me.
As a preemie you are supposed to go by her "adjusted age" rather than her chronological age as far as milestones go. That makes her negative 1 month old, so basically she has a a couple of months before we stress about what she's doing other than eating and sleeping well.
The kid sleeps like a champ! I joke that she has a solid 30 minutes of awake time in a 24 hour period, but its absolutely true. When she is awake she's doing all the things a one month old should be doing, its just hard to catch her awake!
