7 weeks

Tonight I loaded pictures onto the computer, and this one popped up. I've been so tired in the mornings lately that the past couple of days, Lucy and I will nap on the couch for an hour or so. Apparently Josh wasn't able to resist taking a picture before he headed off to work. She is now 7 weeks old and almost out of everything newborn, and some 0-3 month sizes are getting snug. She is also in a size 1 diaper. Yikes! I never thought I would miss those little newborn diapers, but I do. She has been smiling a lot more this past week, mostly at me :). (Probably because I'm the only person she sees all day.) My mom taught me a creepy nursery rhyme, and Lucy seems to like it. (the one about the worm getting smashed on the train tracks). My mom sent me a Baby Mozart DVD and Lucy will watch it for about 15 minutes or so.

Mother's Day, 2010

Here are a few of the pictures taken from the hospital that I finally got around to posting. She is not even 24 hrs old in these. Enjoy!

One Month Old

...i see this "look" a LOT now

I can't believe she's a month old already! Where has time gone? She's changed right before our very eyes! She is starting to be a bit more fussy, especially since her Granny left :). Seriously, not kidding about that! We were getting into the swing of things with her sleep/nursing schedule, but it seems like its changing this week and I have no control over what she does during the day. Sometimes I feel like I spend most of the day nursing. It can be very tiring. Oh well. I'm starting to see some pretty definable features in her- she has Josh's lips and chin, and my nose, eyes and eyebrows, hair color, and yes, even the large forehead. She will grow into it and eventually appreciate when she's an adult :).

My mom came to visit for 3 weeks and was a huge help. She redid most of our place, (will post pictures later), and was a big help with Lucy. We had a really nice time, even though she got sick the very day before she left. :( Lucy and I are flying back to PA in August for about 2 weeks, hopefully, and can't wait to see her and can't wait for the rest of my family to meet her. Sadly, we did not take enough pictures when my mom was in town. This one is my favorite, though.

That's all for now. I will try and be better about taking more pictures and posting them, as well.

Baby Blessing

We had Lucy blessed on April 25th. Most of Josh's family was there, along with my mom who was visiting for a couple weeks, and a friend of my mom's, Norma Love. It was a really sweet blessing. My mom wrote it down, I think. We had a picnic lunch after wards in a nearby park. It was kind of cold out, so I bundled her up in warm clothes pretty well. She looked like a homeless kid with her mismatched attire. :)

this cookie cake was huge... needless to say Lucy and I
had 2 near sleepless nights after I ate this. :(

All dressed and ready to go!

Lucy, Granny, and Norma Love

When I got home from the picnic, I looked in the carseat to find her hat had slid down like so. It was so cute, I couldn't help snapping a few pictures. She slept in the car seat for a few hours after that, and I feel like she has been up ever since. (yikes!) Anyways, all in all it was a nice day and one I hope to remember.
