Happy Halloween!!

Hope everyone enjoyed their Halloween this year - Lucy Jane loved her first Halloween! I think Halloween is so much more fun when you are with little kids, they get so excited about everything. Lucy was not exactly excited about dressing up this year, but we did take her to the fall festival at church & it was fun to watch all the other little kids while Lucy slept in her stroller.

Here are some pictures from the day & one of her at the pumpkin patch.

Her shirt says "Baby's First Halloween" & don't you just love the leggings??

Sweet Lucy Jane

My friend Rachel came over when Lucy was exactly a week old & took some amazing pictures of her. She is so talented & I love all the pictures she got of Lucy, she looks so calm & peaceful in all her pictures. I can't wait to get some of them printed out & hang them up around the house.

You can look at all her pictures at - http://photography-rachel.blogspot.com/

Here are a few of my favorites:

Little fall baby - I love the she was born in Oct. hopefully we will always have nice fall weather on her birthdays.

I love her so much!

So far Lucy has been doing great. We have started getting out more & it has been fun going places with her. Tuesday night we moved her to her own room & she did great. I was ready to make the move, but still a little nervous. I had some encouragement from some of my friends & my pediatrician strongly recommends moving the babies to their own room, so I thought I'd give it a try. She did great the first night, but last night was a totally different story...let's just say we were both pretty tired this morning. I know there will be good nights & bad nights with babies, I am just hoping we will have more good nights than bad.

I went back to club this week & it was so fun to see all the kids. Everyone was anxious to see Lucy, but I think I am going to wait a few more weeks till I bring her around high school folks. Next week we have our big YL fundraiser, so say some prayers for us if you think about it.

Lucy Jane's Coming Home

Lucy came home on Sunday, Oct. 4th & thanks to our sweet family her coming home was so sweet & special, a day Cody & I will never forget.

Here is a little video that document that special day. Some of her funny "Lucy faces" show up at the end of the video, these faces make us laugh everyday.



Everyday I am getting more used to being a mom. I have loved being at home & getting to spend lots of time just being with Lucy. Tomorrow she goes in for her 2 week check-up & I am hoping she is close to her birth weight!

Lucy also got her infant pictures & I am hoping to get a few of them soon & will post them, so stayed tuned...

Lots of Firsts

Lucy Jane has had lots of "firsts" these past couple of days -

First Doctor's appointment - everything was great, doc said she is perfect!

First bath time

All snug after bath time

First walk - she loved it so much she didn't even open her eyes

First time in her swing, she really did like it, although you can't tell from the pic

There will be many more "firsts" to come...

Lucy Jane Blair is here!

Last Friday, Oct. 2 we welcomed Lucy Jane into the world! The whole day went pretty smoothly & I am trying to remember most of it, but a lot of it is really just a blur! Thankfully, there were no complications & Lucy Jane is a very healthy baby. I was not expecting her to come that early, but I already can't imagine life without her - she is so great!

Our first family pic - such a happy moment!

Some of her first gifts - sports stuff from Grandpa, she'll be ready for anything

We love her so much!!

Nesting

I have been trying to get myself in gear & do some serious nesting around the house so i can be as prepared as I can be for the little girl, who will hopefully be here in less than a month!!! Since I started working part time I have had a little more free time to get stuff done, but honestly I haven't really figured out the whole part time schedule yet.

Last weekend my mom & dad came up to bring us some things, help paint & put the nursery together. We all worked hard for a couple of days & I felt really good about what we had accomplished when they left to go home on Monday morning. It is not complete enough to post pictures of the room, but I thought I would share some of the results. They were so great & we got a ton while they were here, thanks for coming!!

Today we have managed to cross a few things off the list in between watching college football. Hope everyone is having a great weekend.
