First Bath

Today we gave Lucy her first bath. It was short, but she loved it. Naturally I had to document her first time in the tub! We couldn’t be any happier at the moment. We have such a happy and sweet little baby. While she definitely does her share of fussing, she is really easy to [...]

Miss Lucy at 3 Weeks

This week I have noticed so many changes in my little girl. She has become considerably more vocal–in a good way! Her sleep and waking time is now filled with ooohs and aaahs. Though she is still very tiny, she no longer feels quite to fragile as when she was first born. Most of her [...]

Diaper Fail

Yesterday I had a huge disappointment occur. I decided to try the cloth diapers I made for Lucy on her (we had been using disposables until her chord fell off), and to my surprise they didn’t fit. They actually went around her okay, but the sides where it Velcros to stay on her don’t reach [...]

Lucille’s Birth Story

I thought I should write this down soon, as bits and pieces of it are already starting to slip from my mind. It really does feel like an eternity ago. Saturday April 3oth was my due date. All weekend I had been having contractions on and off and at varying degrees of intensity. Monday the [...]

Lucy at 2 Weeks

These past two weeks have really flown by, but at the same time giving birth seems like such a distant memory. Every day I see new things happening with Lucy. She is growing so quickly, I can see now why newborns sleep so much! Our days have been quite busy, but somehow I have gotten [...]

In which Baby Eliminates

Before we ever tried getting pregnant I had been doing some research online about natural parenting and had a long list of things I wanted to do for/with my child. One of the things I read about early on was Elimination Communication (or E.C.). For those who know nothing about it, Elimination Communication is pretty [...]

A Stressful Morning

This morning was a stressful one. Probably the most stressful since Lucy arrived. We had her one week appointment at the doctor this morning at 10:15 (she is up to 8lbs. 6 oz. now!). I rushed around like a crazy person to make sure Lucy was fed and diapered, as well as getting myself dressed [...]

Miss Lucy at 1 Week

I really can’t believe that Lucy is a week old already. I still feel like I should be pregnant and often find myself rubbing my belly like there is a little baby in there still. Life has become crazy–as I’m sure all you other mamas out there experienced when your babies were born. My mother [...]

Happy Mothers Day!

It is hard to believe how much my life has changed in just four short days. It is hard to do much else at the moment than sit and stare at baby Lucy. I seem to have forgotten that the internet (or anything outside my little bubble for that matter) exists–and it will probably be [...]
