One Month and Counting

I can hardly believe it. One month ago today Henry was born. Where has the time gone? It just seems like yesterday we were going to the hospital. If the first month has gone by this fast, I can't imagine how fast the rest will go.

Henry is growing fast. We went to the doctor today for his one month checkup. He weighed 8lbs 14oz and was 22 1/4 inches long. So he's gained 1lb 9oz and has grown 2 1/4 inches!

This first month has definitely been a learning experience. Chip and I are learning to take care of this little person who is totally reliant on us for everything. It's been scary, frustrating and exhausting. But at the same time, no matter how tired or frustrated we get, when we look into Henry's eyes we know that it is all worth it. Henry has only been in this world a short time but we cannot imagine life without him.

So here is to a great first month, and to many more.
Happy Birthday Henry!
Love Mommy and Daddy
