So confused!

This was Lucy's expression the first time she saw a video of herself...She looked like she was thinking "Those are my sounds, but I'm not making them!" Haha, it was hilarious, so we had to take a picture!

Playing with Daddy!

Lucy LOVES playing with Devin and vis-a-versa. She just likes to talk and talk with him, it's pretty cute!
(Sorry for the weird angles. I couldn't figure out how to film her without her finding the camera...or realizing that I was there :D cause then all the fun ends)

Going on one month!

Lucy Mae is now one month old! I can't even believe it! It doesn't feel like it's been that long, but it's been a wonderful month for sure! While Lucy has always been a very alert baby, the past week or so she's been getting more and more interactive while she's awake! She'll coo and "talk" and has started to smile! She's awake for an hour at least 3 times a day.
Devin and I are back in school. We had kind of a rough start not just with realizing we need to plan more time into getting ready because of Lucy's still unpredictable routines, but also because we've been making some changes in our majors and deciding what we need/want to do. I ended up having to leave the Special Education major because I didn't want to student teach. I don't feel like it would be right to leave Lucy for 6-8 hours every day. And even after petitioning the college won't allow me to graduate with out it. SO I'm now going to do School of Family Life with an emphasis in Home and Family Living! That's right, I'm studying how to be a mom :D. I can be done by December and finally get to just be a mom!
Devin just figured out what he wants to do as well! After a long fight to get into Mechanical Engineering he decided it just wasn't for him and has decided to go into Technology and Engineering Education. "What is that?" you ask? Well it means that he can teach Junior High and High School as a shop teacher. So he'd teach CADD, woodworking, welding, that kind of stuff! There are a few other things, but that's the direction he's looking right now. Teaching has always been something that he has enjoyed and I think he's going to make a WONDERFUL teacher!
Well that's the update for now! I'll leave you with this video clip of Lucy Mae! I took it this morning :D While she doesn't 'talk' a whole lot in it I figured it'd be fun for everyone to see what she's like when she's awake :).

Lucy Mae is finally here!

Our little Lucy Mae was born on December 14th at 5:23 pm. She weighed in at 7 lbs 6oz, and was 21 inches long. She is definitely our little Christmas Angel. It's been an amazing experience being parents. It's definitely different than I expected but I'm loving every minute of it. Because Lucy Mae had been in the NICU at the hospital the doctors asked us to take her into the pediatrician for a check-up at one week just to make sure everything was still going well. They weighed her while we were there and she had gain a whole 8 oz since her birth! They took this as a pretty good sign that she is healthy and well :D.

Lucy is now 2 weeks and 2days old. She had her two week check-up yesterday and she now weighs 8lbs 10 oz. She gained 11 oz this last week! We've got a little chunk of a baby!

Here are some pictures we've taken over the last couple of weeks!

Lucy trying out the bouncer...she really likes it, but it makes her a little cross-eyed sometimes :)

More Pics!

I decided it's about time to put a few more pictures on so everyone can see how much my belly has grown before I have the baby :) I'm technically 38 weeks and 4 days along....

I tried to catch Devin playing a game on the i-touch but he moved too fast and this is what came of it! :D I thought it was a great picture so its on here just for fun.
Doctor says baby's doing great and everything is on schedule....meaning baby could come anytime :). So hopefully soon we'll have some real pictures of our little one to show to you all! Until then you still have to look at our crazy faces :D
