Photo of the Week – Anna at 1 Month
One month. It is hard to believe that four weeks have passed since Anna joined our family and my life changed completely. The month of March 2011 will forever be remembered as a blur of sleepless nights and constant feedings. I felt like a mommy zombie for many days- leaving the house only a handful of times during the month and counting myself lucky to grab something to eat between feedings.
Now, a month later I finally feel like I am gaining my sea legs and am starting to find the new ‘normal’. Anna is granting us one 4 hour stretch of sleep at night, a massive relief after weeks of waking up every 2-3 hours. She is putting on weight like an aspiring sumo wrestler, and is now over 12 pounds. I am venturing back into the kitchen in short spurts and hope to be back in the swing of new recipes and posting again very soon!

EEEEE! The little sweater! The little hat! Baby girl clothes are SO much better than baby boy clothes. Now remember as you cycle through the clothes and put away the ones she no longer fits into (which, I know, seems like it happens every few days in the beginning), make sure to keep one of her newborn onesies handy. Then, on her first birthday, you can pull it out and be reduced to a sniffling lump of nostalgia about how tiny your now-strapping young child used to be.

Look how adorable she is in that outfit! I just want to cuddle her and sniff away.
And I’m with kristin–you have to pull out an old onesie on her birthday. I still do that with both girls.

So precious! As she gets older, it gets easier. Either that or you start to adjust! Either way, you will find time again to do the things you love – like cooking.

She is so sweet! But tell her not to furrow her brow like that or she might end up with wrinkles
ps. her sweater/hat combo is smashing

Kristin- That is a great idea! I’m just about to have to move her into 3-6 month clothes. I will save a onesie for comparison as she grows!
Kitch- Aww…your girls are so big now!
Bryan- Thank you! It is my favorite =)
Michelle- Thank you very much!
Lisa- That is good to hear. Some days it feels like a never ending cycle.
Winnie- Lol, no kidding. I think I’ll end up with wrinkles from when she furrows her brow too!
