Today is Lucy's one month check up.We have to get her first shots today. I am dreading seeing her cry! I hope that she is alright!

What a Week!

Well, we have had an interesting week this week! It really all started on Tuesday, when I couldn't find Mom. I also couldn't find Grandmother and Granddaddy, which is strange because they are usually at home at lunchtime. Come to find out, they were on their way to the hospital to take Mom! She was having chest pains. That was pretty scary. Then on Wednesday we had to take Lucy to the doctor. She is having a few problems, but they are not due to the formula. After talking to the doctor, we felt better and she is going to be OK. Then we went to see Mom in the hospital. After running lots of tests, they found out that she is also going to be OK. She didn' t have a heart attack. In fact, her heart looks great! So that is good news. She didn't get released until today (Friday) and she is glad to come home! I have been very worried about her. I don' t even like to see my Mom sick, much less in the hospital!

We did have a milestone last night! Lucy slept through the night (almost). She slept from around midnight to about 5 this morning. That was the longest amount of time that I have slept in about 4 weeks. Everyone was right when they said enjoy your sleep now before the baby comes. But, it is worth every minute of it with her. I only have about 4 more weeks at home, and so each time she is awake I want to spend that time with her. We took her with us twice this week when we went out and she is so wonderful. She lays in her seat and sleeps or she just watches what everyone is doing. I can't wait until she can talk and tell us what she is thinking. I look at her sometimes and I think that David and I are too blessed! There are so many things that we can't take for granted. It really makes you count your blessings!

Just another Monday...

Today was a great Monday! It started out with Lucy getting a call in to the doctor. We are looking at changing her formula because she is not taking the new stuff so well. This afternoon we had visitors! Grandmom, Pee-Paw, and Becky came to visit us! They brought us a beautiful gown for Lucy! It is so pretty. She will wear it at her Dedication at church. It has a matching bonnet and matching booties. They were all made by Becky. Grandmom is making her a little slip to wear under it.
Lucy is growing and changing every day. Everyone says that she looks like David. David and I are going to get some of our baby pictures this weekend and see who she favors!

A Friday Field Trip

Today was the first day that I took Lucy out without anyone else. We went to Park School! Where else would we go? I have stayed away about as long as I can. I had to catch up with everyone! Everyone was so sweet! They all wanted to hold her. Everyone asked where she gets her red hair. She was so content with everyone holding her and making a fuss over her! Do babies even understand how much they are loved?

It was nice to be able to get out and go somewhere! It also makes me realize that I only have a few more precious weeks here at home with her. It is going by so quickly!

Little Lucy

Our little girl has finally arrived! Our life has really changed since we welcomed her into the world just 2 weeks ago! It seems like such a long time ago that we were in the hospital! Our hospital stay was just wonderful. All our nurses were great, and the whole experience is something that I will cherish forever. We were so surprised to see our little Lucy had a headful of bright red hair! When she is outside, she looks pink from head to toe. We had lots of visitors in the hospital, and even more phone calls! I can't believe so many people love a little baby they haven't even met! I will be forever grateful for the support that I have received so far.

Everyone has said that it will go by so quickly, and yes, it really has. She already looks like a different baby. She has already changed so much, and she grows and changes every single day!

Today was our first doctor's appointment. It was really exciting. I was a little nervous about going because I didn't know what to expect. She was a perfect baby at the doctor's office! She only cried when they pricked her heel! She has been sleeping a lot this afternoon. I guess she has had a big day. She is just a perfect little angel!
