Well that is all-- LOVES

Doctors and printers :)

Well yesterday we went to see the doctor. Our little miss has now passed her birth weight. She now weighs 9 pounds 6 ounces and is 22 inches long. She really has grown so much in 2 weeks, it blows my mind. I really love our doctor too. He listened to all of our questions and answered all of them, and he's such a happy soul! He made me feel like I am doing a good job as her mommy.

And today- we have finally found a place to print my cards! I am so excited! And they were so helpful giving us ideas, I still have some stuff to figure out but I will be selling my cards soon.

What designs should I print first? Any ideas, thoughts, comments?

Napping with daddy

Our little miss loves to nap with daddy (who is thankfully feeling much much better today). She must be growing right now because she is sleeping a lot, yesterday she slept most of the day and only woke up to eat.

Well I hope everyone is having a great day!

Oh joy

Daddy woke up with a terrible cold today, and now I am cleaning like a mad women so My little Miss hopefully won't catch it! I feel like a germafobe carrying around a can of lysol spraying down everything that Keith touches. I really really REALLY don't want the little one to get sick, especially after the day of screaming we had yesterday.

I must say though- making it through yesterday was really a huge confidence boost! I feel like I have gotten over the stupid baby blues and can now more fully enjoy my time as a mom. If I could make it through one day why not another? Although I am very thankful Miss P does not scream all the time.

Well thats about it for today- fingers crossed Little Miss doesn't get sick.

Mini me

Yesterday Keith was looking at some pictures, and we came across this baby picture of me. It's crazy how similar she looks to me! I have my own little mini me :). I wonder if she will keep looking like me as she grows up. But no worries world she does look a lot like Keith too. Yesterday Keith made a face that Miss P makes all the time! It was really cool.

Well today started out kind of rocky. Miss P was just having a bad morning, and she was really really angry about something. I have never heard a baby cry that hard. And as she was screaming Keith had to leave for work. I have never wished that hard that Keith could work from home. But thankfully- soon after Keith left- she calmed down after I fed her. She must have just been super hungry, my growing girl. And now the washing machine is keeping her calm and sleeping. Thank goodness.

Sweet dreams Miss P!

2 weeks!

Miss P has now been with us for 2 whole weeks, and let me just say they have not been the easiest but they definitely have been rewarding.

Today has actually been a pretty quiet day. It's amazing what a good nights sleep can do! Its just been an over all good day, and Keith was able to stay home today which is really a huge help and blessing as well. Its so much fun watching Keith as he helps me take care of Miss P. He's so great with her and not afraid to jump into the action. I really could not ask for a better person to raise a family with.

Oh man, on a totally random note, I can't wait until fall! I am kind of sick of the warm weather, and Miss P does not enjoy the warm weather either. So it will be nice when it starts to cool down again. Although one thing I didn't think of is winter means more sickness, and now that I'm a mom I will have to really try to keep the icky bugs at bay (well for as long as I can). That will definitely be a new not so exciting experience dealing with a sick baby, but I guess it comes with the territory. No use worrying about it now. :)

Here's Miss P's 2 week picture- she's getting so big!

Here's some pics I took of the kitties basking in the sun.

2 weeks!

Well I need to introduce the newest Lutes!

Little Miss P was born July 24 by c-section. She was 8 pounds 14 ounces.

And now it has almost been 2 weeks and I can't believe its gone so fast. Things have finally started calming down and routine is starting to form :). Things were a bit hard after GG and Grandpa left, but I am glad to report that its been 3 days and everyone is still alive. One little hiccup, Miss P was having trouble pooping, but happy to say everything came out this morning. I have never been so excited to see a poopy diaper, I actually cheered, then proceeded to dry heave as I changed her (me and my iron stomach, brings to mind when I threw up when my dad made the mistake of letting me see my poop). And now after two full diapers she can finally calm down, which is a nice break from yesterday and the poor backed up girl. Now hopefully things stay regular :).

Well here's a new goal that I have. I want to post something on my blog every day (that I can). I really think it will be a great way to get my thoughts out, and I want to document a little about my precious pineapple too.
