One Month

I cannot believe Lizzy is already a month old!  We went to the doctor this morning and she is growing like a champ!

10 lb, 12 oz  (85 %)

23.5 inches (97%)

15.75 head (off the charts ;-))

 And Maggie loves to craft lately!

Happy 4th of July and 3 weeks!

This might have been our most uneventful 4th.  Brad and Maggie went to Centennial Beach first thing in the morning but it was so hot and they had to park far away so I don't think it was very refreshing in 100 degree weather.  Lizzy and I stayed home- we have been hit with Thrush- worst thing ever!  But we are surviving.  At least the girls looked cute and festive.  We ended the day watching fireworks on tv- it was too hot for me to be outside.  Happy 4th of July- can't wait to see the firework show next year!

I went to the hospital for a lactation appointment to help me get better faster- they weighed Lizzy and she is now 10 lbs, 5 oz-  she is chubbin' up!  And she took in 4.5 oz during the feed!  She's a little piggy.  And we sure love her around here.

She got to take her first bath- no more sponge baths.  She likes these kind a lot more.

Two Weeks!

Newborn clothes officially don't fit!

One week old

 Open eye shots are pretty rare- so I was glad to get these on her one week birthday.

 We had to say goodbye to my mom and the girls' Grandma on Saturday.  We were all very sad to have her leave but are very grateful she came out to help us!

 Maggie keeps asking where Grandma is- we got very used to her being here- wish she lived closer!

8 lb 15 oz

20.75 inches long

We call her Lizzy.  And we love her!  I was induced Wednesday morning.  It took a little longer to get going this time- because I had Strep B, they didn't break my water until 11:00 because I had to have the antibiotic in me for so long.  But things went perfectly and the actual delivery was wonderful.  We were worried how we could love another one as much as Maggie- but it's really easy when they get here!  

Maggie has done some adjusting and still will (I hope).  But each day is getting a little better.  Enjoy some pictures from the hospital stay.
