The month of March brought THREE new babies to our circle of family and friends. All three couples wanted the sex of the baby to be a surprise. I could never do that! But it did make it very exciting to find out what each one of them had. We were guessing they'd all be girls, but we were only right with one.
On March 1st our close friends, Kalun and Kristi Merrill, welcomed a baby GIRL they named Addison Emma. She was 7 lbs. 6 oz. and 20 inches. Such a beautiful baby! Here she is at 2 days old:
Then Matthew's brother Dave and his wife Kenia welcomed a baby BOY on March 12th. They named him Joaquin K after both of the grandpa's middle names. He was 9 lbs. 2 oz. and 22 inches!!! What a big boy! He already started out big, but for one reason after another we didn't get to see him until he was 16 days old, so he hardly even looked like a newborn by then!
And finally, my brother Chuck and his wife Ginger welcomed a baby BOY on March 18th. He was 7 lbs. 1 oz. and 20 inches. Ginger had him naturally. I think she's crazy, but to each his own! ;) About 2 days after he was born they finally came up with a name for him....Zaxton Kalan. Of course they had to go with another Z name! (Their other two are Zailey and Zenick.) We had a fun time guessing what crazy name they'd come up with! If names were allowed in Scrabble, his name would be worth a lot! His middle name is a combination of both of the grandpa's middle names, Kay and Alan.
We drove all the way up to Bear Lake to see him a couple days after he was born and planned to spend the weekend so we could help out with their other two children and make meals, etc... Well, after the first day of being there I got really sick and we had to leave early so we didn't get to spend nearly as much time with them as hoped, but they came down a month later for Kya's baptism and we got to see him again. He was still tiny, but didn't quite have that newborn look anymore! 
Welcome to the world Addison, Joaquin, and Zaxton!!!
