Newborn Lucy
Lucy is 4 weeks old today and already looks so much bigger than when these pictures were taken, they change so quickly! She was ten days old when these were taken and I wish we would have done them earlier because she was hard to keep asleep and was easily distracted by the flash. I have to pick ten to get edited more but haven't been able to pick which ones yet, I like them all! Here are a some of my favorite.

Lucy Clark
Our little Lucy is a week old. Time has flown by. I can't believe that it has already been a week and we have yet to update our blog with pictures of our sweet little addition. I am sure most of you have heard the stats but I am just going to type up a quick rundown of how her birthday went.
I had a Dr's appointment on Thursday May 24th where they were planning on helping this little lady come; they did the same with Ansleigh and within 32 hours we had her. My appointment was at 3:15 so I was thinking that the next day some time we would be meeting Lucy. It worked much faster than that! After my appointment we all went and walked the mall and I lasted about 45 minutes before I told them I just wanted to go home and sit down. On the way home we were sitting in traffic counting my contractions that were 5 minutes apart; it didn't seem real for it to be happening so fast so I told Dave and my Mom to just keep driving home. Dave and my Mom were pretty adamant on the fact that they didn't want to deliver the baby (and with the traffic they probably would have) and they turned around. I felt it was too soon to go to the hospital so we went and ate at Pei Wei. I know I shouldn't be eating when I am in active labor but I broke the rules last time too and ate right before I went to the hospital with Ansleigh, ha ha I was never hungry. After Pei Wei we called the Dr and went over to the hospital and was admitted around 5:30 pm. Lucy came at 9:24 pm and it was unreal how quick it all happened. There are a lot of details in the three hours at the hospital before she came and some of them are actually really funny but I will spare you, and if you want to hear about them give me a call!
Lucy weighed 8 lbs 2 oz and was 21 inches long. She has Jaundice but hasn't had to go under the lights, we have been putting her by the window in hopes that she will look like a little white baby soon. Her hair is thick and very dark! We are loving having a second daughter and Ansleigh is adjusting pretty well (thanks to all of the attention from my mom).
Here are some pictures and there are a ton more I will be sharing later!
Here she is awake. She actually has a nice sleep/wake cycle already!
Ansleigh has been entertained well with a little pool and some bubbles!

Lucy
This pregnancy has gone by extremely fast for me and it is crazy to think that our little Lucy will be here in a week or less. I have been in major nesting mode for the past couple of weeks and have everything ready for her to arrive. I am guessing she will be here this weekend as I am going to the Dr Thursday and he has plans to kinda speed this process up a bit. He did the same with Ansleigh and she came just over 24 hours later so I am thinking Lucy will make her debut Friday or Saturday.
We thought she was on her way a week and a half ago because I was having somewhat regular contractions but it ended up being that I was dehydrated, work got the best of me. I have been drinking a lot of water since because that is not the way I want her to make her entrance. I was reading online and some people dehydrate themselves on purpose to go into labor, crazy people!
Some things I have gotten done recently in preps for labor are getting my nails done, color my hair and most exciting of all is I made Lucy a quilt (my first). Here is a pic, not the best picture ever but you can get an idea.
First the belly....it is large, yes!

My mom will be here tomorrow, so glad she is going to make it in time! We will let you all know when everything goes down!

Our version
Not sure if anybody knows this song, but Ansleigh and I have maybe listened to it four times, ever, until we recently discovered this....

updates
We have been pretty busy running around outside and just having good old spring fun lately. This area is gorgeous at this time of year. I really need to take a picture of the front of our house, there are so many blossoms and colors on the bushes that are bright and cheery.
We had a Easter egg hunt and traditional dinner this last Saturday with some friends. There were 6 kids under the age of three so it made for a lot of pointing but also very excited little tots. As we were walking to the backyard Ansleigh biffed it hard down two cement stairs and her face met the concrete. She now has her first real scabs to the face (it was so sad). Luckily we had the eggs to distract her and she forgot about her beating pretty fast.
We have also been going on walks everyday. Ansleigh loves looking at the birds and bazillion squirrels in our neighborhood. One lady down the road leaves feed out, no joke, all over the place. Her yard looks like something you would see on Snow White or Sleeping Beauty, unreal the amount of creatures.
We have been to the park every couple of days. Fairfax has a ton of parks hidden all over the place, it is amazing. We went tonight after dinner and Ansleigh showed off her kicking skills. Watch out soccer world!
Baby #2 is cooking just like she should! I am currently eating salt and vinegar chips if that says anything.

Ears
We have the sweetest neighbor, Mrs. Gaddey, that always leaves little gifts for Ansleigh at our door. Today we got home to find Easter window stickers, bunny ears and a dress up skirt with a little note. We are going to have to show her this video so she can really see how happy Ansleigh was with the bunny ears.
Enjoy! I can't get enough of this girl!
And yes, she is standing alone in our room.
After Ansleigh went to bed tonight we heard Dave's phone ring and couldn't figure out where it was (nothing new right?). So we finished catching up on New Girl and then Dave decided to give it a call to find it. He walked around and realized the ring was coming from Ansleigh's room. So the fear of waking her up sets in and he walks in to find it lit up and ringing inside her pajamas! She slept through all of the ringing and vibrating on her stomach but woke up to our loud laughter.
I am telling you what, our baby is awesome!

I love you Ree
Ree Drummond, have you heard of her? I am sure at least half or more have but our little family just discovered. She is amazing! We have been eating some of the best food the past three weeks. No joke, the past three weeks we have cooked only her recipes. So if you want to try something new that is still close to that home style taste and feel check her out at her blog, there are a ton of recipes. Do yourself a favor, just saying!
