Three Weeks!

Sorry for the delay - it is a little harder to find time to update now! :) I promise to be better in the future!

Well... Lucy is almost three weeks old! I can't believe how time has flown! It is hard to remember what life was like without her, but it blows my mind that she is almost a month old! With that being said, I am half way through my maternity leave. When I go back in June I am only working in the office for two mornings a week, and the rest of the time I will be working from home. I have been doing a few things for work here and there, but i have a feeling it is going to be a little tougher than I anticipate to juggle a baby and work at the same time. I have a feeling I will be doing a lot of work at night!

Lucy is doing well and growing like a weed! At her 2.5 week checkup she was 9lbs 12 oz (90% percentile) and 20.5 inches (50% percentile). Everyone comments on how alert she is and how well she follows people with her eyes. She has had a lot of visitors and has met a lot of new friends over the past few weeks.

We had a great Mother's Day! Lucy had her first road trip and traveled to Decatur for brunch with my parents, Erin, Steve and Maggie. Coincidentally, Maggie and Lucy wore matching outfits! (Their moms didn't even plan it!) After brunch we posed for a few pictures and Maggie ended the photo session with a fun surprise! :) (see pictures below)

Since Lucy came home she has been dealing with a bit of a "squeak" in her nose or throat. Particularly, when she breathes deep or is feeding. The pediatrician doesn't think it is anything serious but is sending her to a an ears nose and throat specialist to get it checked out. I will keep you posted with the results of that visit. We tease that she is making bird calls because it sounds so much like a bird and for this reason (as well as the fact that we teased her middle name should be "goosey") - her official nickname is "goose."
