Lucy time
Mom and Lucy decided to go for a walk on a very windy day. She wasn't a happy camper, but she looked so cute. This is the hat and scarf i made her. I just stenciled this shirt for her too. i love the way she looks in it.
I took this video of her the other day. I love the way she sneezes. I know i'm just too crazy about her. She's playing on the floor gym that Judah loaned her. She likes to stare at the animals.
We went for her 2 week check up and i was concerned they might ask me about her feeding, cause we are trying to set up a routine which is working really great for us. But she is over 8 pounds already! i'm so happy. My girl loves to eat! She has been so much fun. I feel like she has changed so much even since we brought her home. She is pretty chill most of the time and i'm learning what her cries mean more and more. I can tell when she's hungry, just tired or even whining. It's pretty cool. I'm so crazy about this little girl.
Brian did something for me that changed my life. We decided that i would pump so he could feed her once in the middle of the night so i could get more sleep. I actually got 5 or 6 hrs Friday night - I was a new woman! It is unreal what a little sleep will do for you! I have such a positive perspective when i get to sleep more. I mean i felt like i had slept 12 hrs. Course my boobs felt like they would explode when i woke up and i pumped again for the next night daddy feels like doing that again. I also started feeding her in bed. So she wakes up and Brian will bring her to me to feed her in bed, it works great. Sometimes we just take a little nap together. She is pretty noisy when she eats so we are trying to figure out when to do it in the middle of the night so daddy still gets his sleep. He said he would do it every night. He gets Saturday nights off completely cause he has to be at church so early.
We have been finding more ways to spend time together. We usually put her to bed after her bath around 7 or 8 and we hang out until i have to feed her once more before we go to bed. It's nice to have this time together. We actually watched a movie Friday night while she was sleeping. I love spending time with Brian. As long as i'm getting some sleep and spending time with him i'm totally good. It's amazing! It's just the little things. I mean i even love her more when i get sleep and daddy time. This time has been hard, i had a great nap today and we are working on putting the tree up so i'm feeling pretty good, but i still cry about something almost every day.
Speaking of crying - She's doing the crying right now, is it time to eat again?

she is so beautiful! seeing her video makes me miss her, i need to come over and get some lucy and kiki time, see you tomorrow! i'm so glad you've found a way to get a little more sleep. brian's so wonderful! love you my friend!
I'm glad you guys are figuring out how to make things work for you. I can't believe how much she has changed already!
I think the only thing that really kills us is the utter lack of sleep. Because whenever we finally get some we are totally new and happy women. I am good if I get a full hour as long as I get some dreaming in. Baby is adorable and I love her scarf and shirt!
she's beautiful - she's getting big already.
so glad to hear that you guys are figuring out what works for you and taking it a step at a time. crying is good for you, too. :)
love you! thanks for posting - it sounds like you're doing really well. i'm so happy!
She is sooo beatiful, Joy! I love her and I've never met-what a strange sensation. I'm really glad you guys are getting on to a workable schedule. And it doesn't surprise me in the least that Brian is so attentive and helpful-you guys are a great team! Love you!!!!
