Lucy Ann - Month One

Lucy Ann, a whole month has gone by!  It is now March 11th and I am sitting down to reflect on your first month. The first two weeks you had some trouble coming back to your birth weight, but some babies just need more time :)  We visited the dr a lot during your first month!  You also have loud breathing which was diagnosed at tracheamalacia.  We had to go to the ENT to get a picture done of your airways to make sure you were breathing right.  You are, but your trachea is still developing so that is the cause of your loud breathing.  This also causing reflux, which is something we are very familiar with because of your brother :)  But you don't spit up as much, sometimes when you do its a TON, so that concerns me, but you really don't spit up like your brother. Yet.

You have spent a lot of time with both your grandmas and Aunt Sarah.  Grandma Miller was with us for two weeks and we went out to eat and to church.  She helped a lot with Isaiah.  Aunt Sarah came and we spent time just hanging out at the house and eating.  You love to sleep but not always at the right times.  You are easily soothed and love to be held and rocked.  Right now you are sleeping in the bassinet in our room.  We are going to set up your crib this weekend! Big changes ahead.

You are still itty bitty to me but I have noticed you have gotten bigger by the day.  You are wearing newborn and 0-3 month clothes.  You go to sleep anytime we put you in the car and will stay that way while we are out doing errands.  You are becoming more alert.  Next week we are going to start working on more of a schedule.  But its pretty standard right now, eat, awake for couple minutes, and then sleep.

Isaiah is taking more of an interest in you daily.  He gently pats your head and says baby.  We are working on saying Lucy.  I have managed to take both of you to church by myself twice and go to the grocery store.  We go on walks in the double stroller and will soon be joining our friends for play dates.
Having too children isn't easy but we are getting the hang of it!  I love being your mom and Isaiah's mom! We are going to have so much fun together as a family and we can't imagine life without!  We love you Lucy Ann!
