3 weeks old & doctors apt.

My little girl is growing so fast! She is 10 pounds 2 ounces!!! Everything is going good, but they had to prick her heel and she wasnt bleeding enough so they had to keep squeezing her heel to get enough for their test. We had ANOTHER pluming problem today right before layla's doctors apt. good thing it was richies day off! I ran the washing machine and all the drains backed up in our bathroom, plus water came out from the bottom of the toilet! Our seal was bad. But all is fixed now.

I am starting to work....kinda. I am doing the salons laundry and maybe cleaning the salon once a week. But its better than nothing. I am actually going to be managing the salon when i do go back. I'll do requested clients, but other than that i will be helping katherine out with scheduling, customer service, retail, and managing the staff! Im actually excited about it, i'll just have to see how much i will be able to come in with finding layla a babysitter if Richie has to work, go to school, or doing his clinical time!

2 weeks old

Well. Layla is now two weeks old! I can not believe how fast time is going by! This last weekend Layla and I went up to my moms house friday, saturday and came home sunday since Richie had to work. It was so nice to get out of the house. Chelle and the twins were up too so we had alot of fun with all the kids there. Tesse came over with her little man (Alajondro Alfonzo Pineda). Its so crazy we are moms now, just last year we were having wine night and cross stitching at my house!
Well we gave layla her first bath the other night and she loved it! She just layed there and let me mover her without fighting! She is sleeping better at night now, only getting up 2-3 times a night.

9-11-08

Well, as of 9-11-08 Richie is FINALY a full time firefighter! I am so proud of him, he has put three long years into the department and is finaly moving up! Layla and I went to visit him at the station on his first full time shift and it happened to be that him and Phil played the bagpipes and drum while the procession of firetrucks/police cars went by for the 9/11 rememborance....thing. (sorry cant remember what it was called) Anyways, Randi Jo got some cute pics of us there...And here they are!

Baby Layla Marie Lucas!

Well, she is finally here! I was in labor for 36 hours, pushed for an hour and 13 minutes and she's perfect! She was 8lb, 6 1/4oz, 22in long.

Layla is eating great and sleeping 2 hours at a time most of the time. I've figured out that if i keep her up more durring the day, she sleeps better at night! go figure! I'll try to keep updated on the pictures now.
