My Glow Worm

Landry went to the doctor yesterday and got a good report on the jaundice front. I did, however, have to get a picture before we turned in her billiblanket. She looked like a glow worm with a tail....a cute glow worm that is.

Mike and I are slowly but surely getting the hang of this parenting thing. Where the heck is the manuel for this kid?! I have to say that he has done a great job of taking care of both of us. My carpel tunnel has been one of the biggest obstacles I have had to overcome. My left hand is pretty essential in most every task so I have been trying to get used to the brace. Hopefully it will be a temporary ailment.

As most of you know, I have been looking forward to a visit from my Daddy and stepmother Lindsey ever since we found out we were pregnant. Unfortunately, he is in a great deal of pain with his back and cannot come as he has planned. They are as disappointed as I am so please keep him in your prayers as he recovers. Landry is ready to meet her Granddaddy!

I almost didn't post this but it is too funny not to.

The other night...in the middle of the night... we were getting Landry settled back in her bassinett/pack n play that is in our room. It was one of the many gifts that my family bought for her and it has been a lifesaver. It is all decked out with a changing table, music, nature sounds, lights, yada yada yada. Any way, it is loaded with features and we have used them all. I was half asleep and Landry woke up because the vibrator in it had shut off automatically. When Mike asked what was wrong I told her that her vibrator wasn't on. Without skipping a beat...he said "I don't ever want to hear the words vibrator and my daughters name in the same sentence again." I started laughing which made my incision hurt and of course he started laughing and we ended up having a really funny moment....I am sure one of many in this little girls future.

Kudos to the the Bella! She has done so well with her new baby sister. She is a little jealous but she vhas done remarkably well adjusting to her new less than the queen status in our family. She has gotten a lot more attention from her daddy(Mike) so she really hasn't skipped a beat.

Thanks for all of the prayers and well wishes for Landry's jaundice recovery. She is starting to get her color back and starting to gain weight. She couldn't get much cuter I don't think.

I want to send a shout out to all of my high school friends that are checking the blog. Karen, one of the girls I graduated with, recently put together a yahoo group to begin organizing our next reunion and it has become a really fun way to reunite with my long lost past. Since I left Mobile in '89 to go to the University of Alabama, I have been away for 18.5 years...the same age I was when I left!!! YIKES!! It has been a lot of fun catching up with everyone and they all seem to be excited about my new addition. Thanks for the well wishes...can't wait to see you all again!

I'll post more soon...gotta go watch my baby breathe. :)
