Sniffles and Snuggles

My precious baby girl has a yucky cold. She started having a little congestion early last week, but it just started getting worse and worse since Sunday. Today she started running a low grade fever, her nose was so stopped up she couldn't breathe well, she wasn't interested in eating and she wanted to sleep all the time. Poor little girl, she's just plain miserable!

VERY tired Mommy and happily sleeping baby

I took her to the doctor because I was afraid she might have RSV. The doctor was concerned about Lily's fever and we have to make sure it doesn't get over 100.6 or she has to go in the hospital. Dr. S sent us to get a chest x-ray as well. Thankfully it was clear.

So we're just spending lots of extra time cuddling, comforting, and trying to keep the fever down and nose unclogged (definitely no fun!). Hopefully she's on the mend and will be feeling better in a few days!

Even though she feels so awful, she is still just as sweet as ever!

1 month

Lily, you are one month old today, February 1, 2010. 

• You are a happy and alert baby
• You love bathtime and Daddy loves that special time with you.
• After a kind of rough start, you weigh 6lbs 9.5oz and 21 inches long. Mommy and Daddy are so happy to see you gaining about an ounce each day!
• You are still wearing preemie clothes and newborn diapers (you're not drowning in them any longer though!)
• You only cry when you're hungry, have a burp or when your hat falls over your eyes. ha!
• You love to be in the swing or on the play mat...just looking around.
• You are a very good girl in church, especially since you sleep most of the time.
• You love for Daddy and Mommy to hold you close.
• You are getting stronger everyday. It's fun to see how you are getting better control of your neck/head and how you've started scooting on your play mat.
• You sleep so well at night! Mommy has to wake you up to feed you!
• You love for Mommy to wear you in the sling (and Mommy loves it too!!)
• You love music. You were so good at your first symphony concert (well, your first outside Mommy's tummy). I'm sure it's because you knew Daddy was playing. ha!

Daddy and Mommy can't believe how fast the days are flying by. You have changed our lives forever. You are our little miracle and we love you so much!

photoshoot

Yesterday I had a little photoshoot with Lily. It's so fun to take pictures of all her cute facial expressions.

She got a little fussy but her paci made it all better. ha!

She's learning that if she holds onto her paci it won't fall out so often. 

Smart girl!

Hope ya'll have a wonderful weekend!

My Season of Life

There is nothing quite like napping with a newborn.

Lily's favorite thing is to be snuggled up with me or Jacob.

We are doing our best to enjoy every moment because these days of baby snuggles won't last long.

Yes, my house might be neglected.

My stack of work might be half a mile high.

The coupons in my coupon organizer might have all expired two months ago...

but it's ok.

Because "to everything there is a season" and this is the season for me to cuddle with my baby.

My house will one day be clean.

I will catch up on all my work.

I will get back into clipping coupons and snagging deals.

But for now. . .those things will wait.

Our Night

Last night. Oh what a night! Miss Lily Grace decided that she wanted to sleep by day and play by night although for the last week and a half she has slept by day and slept by night!

So...

instead of this...

we were blessed by this...

and this until 5ish o'clock this morning...lovely! ha!
