A Month!

I can't believe Anna's already over a month old.  That month was a blur!  I feel like we're starting to find our new rhythm...somewhat.  Newborns are a lot of work!  And somehow you never really remember how much until you have one again.  But we sure love our adorable girl.  I took her to her one-month check-up today and she is already 11 lbs. 11 oz.!  I couldn't believe it.  She's gained almost 3.5 lbs in the last 4 weeks.  Impressive, especially considering the buckets she spits up every feeding.  So that puts her in the 93rd percentile for weight and she was 23 inches, which is 100th percentile for height!  I'm so proud!  Someone finally got my long genes. :)  Actually, the boys were always big as babies too and then kind of averaged out around one year, so we'll see what happens.

(A lady in my mom's ward sent these onesies that have a number for each month.  The one-month one was a size newborn and barely squeezed on her!)

Anyway, so that's what's going on here.  I obviously spend a lot of time nursing and the boys are doing remarkably well considering that fact.  It is sooo nice that Jeremy doesn't have a lot of classes and is around quite a bit still.  I'm still amazed at the perfect timing of this baby and I'm very grateful.

(Jeremy tastefully captured this pic of me nursing Anna and reading to the boys.  Pretty common sight around here.  Don't mind the pile of diapers on the couch!)

We had a very uneventful Easter this year.  It was my first Sunday back to church (and Anna's) and I directed two choir numbers and Jeremy spoke in Sacrament Meeting, so we were pretty spent just surviving the day.  We didn't have anyone over and I was just fine with that.  I actually fell asleep on the couch that night at 7:30pm.  The boys were in bed but they hadn't even fallen asleep yet.  Pretty pathetic, but I felt great the next day! :)  (Of course, I was up nursing plenty of times in the night, but getting a head start really helped).  We had a fun Easter activity at the church last Saturday, so that was the extent of our Easter festivities.  It was nice just focusing on the spiritual aspect and not any of the fluffy stuff.

In other exciting news, we should finally find out where we're moving in the next couple weeks!  Hooray!  Jeremy got his list of positions and locations a week and a half ago and will submit his top three choices on Friday, after which he'll be assigned one of them by April 15th (we're crossing our fingers it's actually by then) and then he starts work on June 17th!  Exciting!  I'm getting very anxious to know so we can find a place to live and start the next chapter of our lives!
