Seven Days Old

August 10, 2009

Lydia had her first doctor's appointment today. Dr. Halperin examined her and ensured that everything looks great! This was reassuring. Lydia has gained three ounces and 1/2 inch (although I just think that she was short-changed when she was measured at the hospital or wasn't stretched enough). Dr. Halperin said he thinks she will have light hair and that it will likely match the color of her eyebrows. Her eyebrows are a very light now so we will have to wait and see. We will go back on Wednesday for a quick measure of her Billirubin and then again for a check up next week.

Going to the Doctor for her First Appointment


When we got home from the doctor's appointment, we received a delivery from the florist. Jon, Kristin, and Grant Williams sent our little family this lovely arrangement. We continue to feel overwhelmed and blessed by the amount of love and support we have received from our friends and family as we welcome Lydia into our homes. We also received flowers from the Peoria Jaycees, Brittany and Rick, Gary and Denise, Ted and Joan, and Daddy. Flowers from the Williams Family

Jeff and Angie brought us Avanti's tonight for dinner. It was delicious! The grilled cheese and cheese soup hit the spot and it was fun to talk about our babies together! Only a few more weeks and their little one will be joining us!Jeff and Angie stop by for a visit

Cute as a bug in a rug

I had a hard time keeping track of the dates and how old Lydia is "technically" because she was born so early on a Tuesday. So "technically" Lydia turned one week today, but I included yesterday as one week too- so I apologize, but at least I figured it out and I should be good to go from now on. On her one week 'birthday,' Lydia got to meet her cousins and Aunt Shelly when they came over with Grandpa Pierce. Visiting with Aunt Shelly, Levi, Emma, and Grandpa

Scott, Kirstin, and Alison also came over with dinner and dessert tonight and to meet Lydia. Kirstin makes delicious meals and tonight's pork was no exception. She also brought over fresh strawberries and pineapple with a delicious dip and a veggie salad. Alison brought a yummy cake! I am looking forward to the leftovers for lunch tomorrow! I am looking forward to meeting Scott and Kirstin's little one as soon as she arrives. Scott and KirstinAlison and Lydia
