4 weeks

I can't believe it's been four weeks since Lucy was born! I took Lucy to the doctor today for a weight check and she's finally back to her birth weight - 7lbs 9oz!! While we were in the waiting room there was another mom there and she was holding her big baby boy.. he was a cute little chunk! I got Lucy out of the carseat carrier and the other mom asked me how old Lucy was. I told her Lucy was 4 weeks today. She said that her big baby boy was 4 weeks and a few days old. So - Lucy is just a light-weight! Hopefully Lucy will just start gaining more & more! I'm used to chunky babies - Abby was a little chunk too! I sent out birth announcements to family, so I thought I'd put it on here for friends. :)

It's been a while since I posted.. so I thought I'd do it! Life sure is busy with 2 kids! My mom flew home on Saturday morning. It was so great having her here to hold Lucy while I took care of Abby or vice versa. Today was my first actual day of being a stay at home mommy to two beautiful girls! Overall I think it went well. We went on a walk (I got a double stroller - it's great!). We ran some errands. We got groceries at Walmart - it went pretty well. I haven't had the chance for a shower yet - but I will get cleaned up after my post. :)

Abby loves her little sister. She has to hold Lucy several times a day by herself (with me right there watching). She is always concerned where the baby is. In all this excitement Abby has decided that she doesn't need to take naps anymore. I keep trying to lay her down for a nap and an hour or so later I find her in her room playing by herself. I'm kind of sad (I enjoy nap time!), but I'm still planning on having Abby take 'quiet time' in her room.

Lucy is just such a good baby! She really only cries when she's hungry.. and I usually feed her before she gets to the crying stage. Lucy is sleeping 5-6 hours at night and during the day time I have to wake her every 2-3 hours to feed her. Last Friday at her appointment she had lost 2-oz. from the previous appt. I will take her again this Friday to get her weight checked. If she isn't gaining, the doctor will have me add formula to breast milk to get her to gain some weight!
