Lucy's first few weeks home

It's been such a new experience having a little baby with us at home now.  Her first week home, Richard didn't work much so we just focused on Lucy and trying to get some sort of routine down.  That all changed though when we went for a doctors visit and found out she had lost more weight and was at 5lbs 12oz.  We had to really focus the next few days on getting her to eat and I had to focus on getting this whole nursing thing down.  Our hard work was worth it and at her next visit, she was back up to 6lbs and at her two week appointment this past Friday she was above her birth weight.


My mom got here from Arizona a week ago and it has been great having her help.  We've been able to get a little more sleep in the morning when my mom will hold her for a little while.  We've also been getting meals from a group at our church every other day and that has been wonderful.  My mom leaves tomorrow and I'm sure it will take a few days to get into a new routine.


Lucy is such a good baby and is starting to show her personality a little more.  She really likes it when Richard sings to her and she likes to look around at everything when she is awake.

She's so sweet
