2 Weeks

2 weeks ago, our little world changed and I feel like we are really getting adjusted, it has been a really long 2 weeks, but we have survived, and things are really good, Abbey is doing really really good with Lucy, her little temper tantrums are slowing down, and I feel like she is back to her normal self (at least for today) The picture below pretty much sums up the last 2 weeks, except Lane has been at work since I got home from the hospital :( so it has been just me for the most part (I have had a lot of help from my mom, my grandma and Ashley) I feel like i can now take both the girls out and we can go places alone!!



We went to a pumpkin patch just a couple minutes from our house on Monday, its so fun, its a bunch of old guys who run the place, not a woman in sight helping out and they are so great, they love taking all the kids out and its so fun!! We grew our own pumpkins this year, so we didn't pick any, but we loved going on the wagon ride, and they had a little train that the kids could go on, Abbey didn't want to get off!! She kept looking all over for tigers and monkeys with her "binoculars" (see the picture above)

Lucy is doing awesome, she is sleeping for about 4 hours at night, and I feel really great!! We went to her 2 week check up and she gained about a pound and a half since we left the hospital, she was born at 8 lbs 11 oz.. when we left the hospital she was 8 lbs 3 oz, and today she was 9 lbs 8 oz!! She is doing so good!! She is eating like a champ, and for the most part is such a happy baby!! We are all loving her!

Lucy May Owens

Miss Lucy May is here:) She was born October 6 weighing in at 8lbs 11oz and 21 inches long! It was a long day, but definatly ended in a great way! I was induced at 7 am and dialated pretty quickly, when it came time to push, she just wasn't coming.. so they tried the vaccum that didn't work, then they tried the forecepts, that didn't work so finally my dr said we were going to have to do a c-section!! It was not so fun, hurt much worse then when I had Abbey, and the meds they gave me didn't last the whole time, so as they were stitching me up i started to feel it! But at the end of the night we got a sweet little girl who is such a happy baby, and sleeps pretty good.. 4 hrs. at a time, I am a happy mommy!! Abbey seems to be adjusting pretty well, she loves her sister and thinks she is so cute!
