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!

Little Lucy is such a sweet angel. I'm glad that she is sleeping for you. Let's hope she puts on some pounds before her next visit.
