Welcome Baby Lucy!

Lucy Amaryllis Ussery
born: February 23, 2010 @ 10:34am
7lb 4.4oz ~ 20.5 inches long

Baby Lucy is so small and sweet. She is a pro sleeper. All she does is sleep and eat in between. Lucy only wakes up once in the middle of the night to eat. (Although it scares me a little to have such a small baby, it was a much more pleasant experience to deliver Lucy than it was to deliver Kate @ 9lb 2oz.) She sure looks a lot like Parker did when he was a baby--more so than either of the other kids. It will be so much fun to watch her change over the next few weeks and see her little personality come out.

Jackson and Kate think she's "so cute" and fun and are excited to have us both at home.
Jackson has been trying so hard to be a big helper. He jumps at the chance to help feed her or throw a diaper away for us.


Kate loves her too, but is SO busy that she just kind of comes and goes and greets Lucy along the way. She especially loves to "beep" Lucy's nose.

WoW! Three kids. So far, the transition has been okay. I'm sure it will be a little trickier going grocery shopping by myself, but besides that, we're figuring out a routine pretty quickly. (It helps that Baby Lucy just sleeps and sleeps and sleeps, too!)
Here's Kate "beeping" Baby Lucy's nose.


Grandma Ussery graciously came down to be with Jackson and Kate while I was busy at the hospital with Parker and my Mom. It was SO nice to have the help of BOTH Grandmas. The kids were very sad today when the last Grandma had to go back home and keep asking when they'll be back.
