The kids want another
A little while ago all 5 of us gathered in the living room. I fed Lucy while Daddy was on the tickle attack with the other 2. The conversation topic turned to family numbers… Joel: we need just one more. (Holds up his index finger) Me and my husband: Why??? Joel to Dad: \”It\’s a [...]
I guess I didn't cover EVERYTHING…
So… before Lucy’s arrival I think we did a pretty good job preparing Joel and Livi for her arrival. We read books about being a big brother and sister, we read books that showed picturess of the baby\’s development, we talked about it all the time. I warned them of the crying. I gave them [...]
My Wild Spring Break
\”Spring Break\” in my area began Monday, April 4th. It was my first REAL day on my own at home with all 3 munchkins (no preschool, no playdates, husband at work…). I planned some creative activities for the 2 older ones and I carried Lucy around in the front pack much of the day. All [...]
Milestones
Lucy has been smiling for nearly a week! Some say it\’s gas when babies smile at this age, but a mommy knows. I know that when Lucy has a smile due to gas — her mouth stays closed and her face gets red! Her REAL smiles are wide mouthed and full. Her most smiley times [...]

So, I'm feeling pretty proud of myself…
And I nearly lost my drawers. Read on… So Friday morning, I decide to venture out on my own with all 3 kids. Plus, the bug guy needed us gone for 5-6 hours:) On my agenda: Target, the mall play place, and fast food. My pride took it’s fall at the very beginning, and we [...]
Fever
I learned something new this week. Fevers at 100.4 or higher are considered dangerous for babies under 2 months. Lucy felt a bit warm. This was Tuesday afternoon – at 2 weeks and 2 days old. Her temperature was 100.2. A bit later she sneezed a nasty snottty goo. I called the nurse about the [...]
1 week and 1 day
We\’ve made it through the first week! We had to take Lucy for a jaundice test yesterday (always on the weekend…), and she hasn\’t pooped since Tuesday. So… she has an appontment with the doctor this afternoon. I\’m picking up my mom at the airport this morning. We\’ve had lots of help and food, but [...]
