Our first seperation

Mike and I went out for the first time without Luciana this past Saturday for my friend Allison's wedding. It was REALLY hard for me! My mom watched her and I knew everything would be fine but I was so sad to be away from her. We were able to make it out the door by 5:30 and didn't get back home until 10:30 - I was very proud of myself for being able to make it that long :)

I'm trying to build up to being able to put her in daycare once I go back to work but I still cry when I think about having to do it...

Luciana and I also went to my sisters house this week to visit her and her family and we went to Kelly Services to visit with, well, the entire building! She did great during both outings and I'm getting a lot better at remembering everything to bring on an outing!!

Here's her 6 week old pic - she's almost the same size as her bear now!

A few new pics

Here are some of our favorite recent pictures (although she's so cute, we love all of the 1,000's of pics we've taken so far!).

Enjoy!

One month checkup

Today was Luciana's one month doctors appointment (technically, she's 4 weeks and 6 days old!). Everything went really well and even though I didn't think she was going to get a shot, which she did, that went well too (harder for me then her).

Her doctor, Dr. Peltz, said that everything looked perfect! She does have pretty bad acid reflux that we need to watch to make sure it does not get any worse but that's about it. Of course I immediately went to the store and bought a wedge for her crib to help elevate it and relieve some of her reflux. I'm sure I'll be buying more products in the near future - if they make it and it has a chance of helping her feel better, I'll be spending money on it. I guess that's what you do when you're a mom - anything for your baby! :)

She's in the 50th percentile for both her weight and her length which is great - 9lbs 5oz (up over 2lbs from birth) and 21.25 inches (up 1.75 inches from birth).

Luciana has the Best Daddy Ever (and I have the Best Husband)!
