Maggie Moo

Just kicking around.

Pretty in Pink

Maggie was gassy today and wanted to be held much of the day.
Lucy ended up watching a Dora-thon from the comfort of her laundry basket. She even had lunch in there.

Back to work

Daddy survived his first day back at work. He is worn out though. Mama and the girls had a great day. Maggie slept in her bassinet for part of the day, so I got to spend lots of time with Lucy. I also got to take a nap from 3:30 -4:45 while the girls BOTH napped. I was really surprised they both went down so easy for me.

Random events

Lucy doing "Head shoulders, knees, and toes."

Maggie sleeps a lot.

But not between the hours of 11pm and 4am. Mommy is still adjusting.

Lucy stubbed her toe, and I couldn't reach to kiss it better. I suggested she go to Libby for help.

Grandparents Brown

Ray and Linda came for a short visit over the weekend.

Grandpa Ray
Grandma Linda

Just silly.

Not ready.

Cute family.

The Many Faces of Lucy

I'll take that.

Here I come.

Running fast.

Hey.

What are you doing?

Just Swinging

Trying out all the new toys.

Maggie likes to wave her arms and kick.

Jon went to the store today to buy more diapers. When he got home he gave his change to Lucy for her strawberry. Her response was, "I love money in the strawberry." Being a big sister is hard work. Lucy ate 7 pieces of turkey at lunch as well as her cheese, green beans and milk. Usually she has 3 or 4. She kept saying, "More turkey please." Everyone was right. Lucy does seem enormous now. It is so amazing to see how much a child can grow and learn in just two short years.

Big Sister

We're home. Lucy wants Maggie to be held all the time. She likes to snuggle with her.
Lucy came to see us in the hospital. Jon said she drug him through the hospital so she could see the baby.

She went home and told Grandma Kathy that Baby Maggie is so cute, so little and she pooped her pants.

Lucy reading to her silly faces.

Lucy got a special present to celebrate Maggie's birthday. Grandma Kathy and Lucy played and had a great time while Mommy, Daddy and Maggie were at the hospital.

Maggie is here!!!

I started having contractions early in the morning on Saturday. They did not get regular until Sunday evening and we left for the hospital at 11pm on Sunday.

We are both happy and healthy. Maggie is a great eater.

We got discharged from the hospital at 11am this morning. We are very glad to be home.

First photo. I forgot the site has a bug and is uploading the pictures in the reverse order as I select them.

Sock puppet

When I got Lucy up from her nap I couldn't find one of her socks. Then I realized it was on her hand.

Maggie's first deadline

I had another Dr. appointment today. Maggie is not ready to come out yet, and if she does not come by 11/12 then they will perform a stress test and ultrasound. Then start the induction process at 6pm on 11/13. Making Maggie's arrival most likely between 10am-noon on Fri 12/14. We are both healthy and happy at this point. What's a few more days in the grand scheme of things?

Tent House

Lucy has had great fun playing in her tent house the past few days. Lucy likes to play tent by throwing a blanket over Mama and herself. Only I get to hot when we do this, so I set up this house for her to play in instead.

Libby likes the tent house too.

A penny saved

Grandma Kathy is teaching Lucy to save her pennies. The strawberry penny bank was mine when I was a kid. Grandma gave Lucy all the coins out of her purse to put in the strawberry. I thought she was nuts to think Lucy would want to put money in the bank, but Lucy really enjoyed the task.

She put all the money in and asked for more. So Mama emptied out her wallet.

Grandma Kathy also had my brother Chris's money jar to split between the girls, so Lucy put that money in her bank too.

P.S. Maggie seems comfy in my tummy, so that is where she stays.
