The Last Week

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.
