One Month!

So Finley is officially one month old! I put together a slide show of pictures from the first month and it was fun to go back and "relive" everything. I am trying very hard to look forward to the future and not be sad that she is already growing up. Before I became a mom, I used to tire of every mom saying "They just grow up too fast!", but now that I'm in the midst of it, I am much more sympathetic.

Yesterday, Devin and I took her to the post office to find out how much she weighed now. It wasn't nearly as successful as we had hoped! It was actually fairly comical. Once we put her on the scale, she started flailing about and so the scale couldn't really register a weight. Devin finally put his hand on her to help balance her, but that obviously changed the accuracy. Not to mention that she was fully clothed (with a dirty diaper)! Anyway, the scale read 8 pounds 5 ounces, but I think she is probably closer to 7 pounds 14 ounces since she was consistently gaining an ounce a day when we went to the pediatrician. Our next appointment is December 23 so we'll have to wait until then to get an "official" weight.

Aunt Amy also helped me work on Finley's birth announcements. They are almost done... one month later! I think they're going to turn out pretty well. I'm super jealous of Amy's MAC.... The announcements are much more professional looking because I was able to use her computer instead of mine!
