I can't believe that time has flown by so quickly! It seems like just yesterday we were bringing little Lucy home, and now we are getting ready for me to go back to work. I have been holding her and playing with her all the time. I will miss her so much when I go back! I am blessed to only work 5 minutes away. David is only 5 minutes away also. We are also blessed that Mom will be keeping her. Our other option would have been daycare, and I am really glad that we didn't have to do that!
I have been taking lots of pictures while I have been home. In fact, UPS should be delivering about 172 pictures sometime today! I got a great deal on them when I signed up at shutterfly.com.
Lucy has changed so much! She can smile and is working on laughing. There are times when she looks just like Dave! She is sleeping much less during the day and much more during the night! YEA! I never knew that 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep could make me so happy! She can play with her play gym now. She looks at herself in the mirror. She is growing and learning each day. I feel like I will miss so much when I go back to work. I really can't understand how people who have to leave their babies in daycare manage through that first day back at work. It will be hard enough for me!
Our family has been blessed in so many ways! There are things all around us that serve as reminders of how blessed we are. It seems sad that so many people take these blessings for granted, and never see the positive side of things. I hope that as I grow older, and go through trials in life that I may always stay positive and be a positive example for Lucy.

It wasn't as bad as I thought that it would be at the doctor's office yesterday! This may be due to the fact that Lucy didn't get her vaccinations! She was 3 weeks, 6 days old yesterday and Dr. Johnston was afraid to give her shots before she was exactly 4 weeks old. So, next time we go to the doctor she will be getting 3 shots! I'm not looking forward to that!
Other than that she had a great check up! She is 9 lbs, 1 oz, and this weight puts her in the 5oth percentile for her age. I have been worried about her gaining weight the right way. I guess that the hardest part of a new baby for me has been feeding. She also measured a little over 22 inches, which is above average for her age. Perhaps she is going to get some of her Daddy's height, and will at least be a little taller than I am! I really hope so!
She was so good while we were out yesterday. She was content being in her car seat while we were at the doctor's office. When we went to the Galleria, she was happy sleeping in her stroller. It was good to take her somewhere! I was nervous about having her out and about being able to manage all her things. It worked out really well! Her Grandma bought her some new Fall clothes, and her Ya-Ya brought her some this morning. She doesn't even know how good she has it! I don't think we do either!
Oh, and my favorite part about yesterday? Dr. Johnston said that by the time she comes back to visit him not only will she be smiling, but should be laughing! Yesterday she gave Dr. Johnston a great big smile when he came in to see her. David and I spent his entire lunch break waiting for her to smile today! We sat her in the middle of us. She gave us several sweet grins! Who ever knew that a little smile could mean so much!
