The Namey Nest

Lucia Analiese (and family)

(That's Lu-SEE-ah Ahn-a-LEESE for those who've inquired.)

Isabelle has been adjusting pretty well... it's been a whirlwind for sure, and I'm not sure she's been to bed on time once yet, but she's enjoyed all of the extra attention (and presents) from our families. She still wants to hold Lucia first thing every morning, and is reluctant to leave the house without Mama, but she's entertaining us with her antics and expressions.

(Making faces in her dress-up clothes.)

Week One...

Started out a bit rocky with an unplanned trip to UNC Hospital (where Bellie helped me eat my lunch), but thankfully Gigi and Dodi were in town to help out. Dodi had to go back to PA to work, and Gigi stayed through Friday, when Gramma, Giddu, and Aunt Tanya also arrived. Highlights of week one included Lucia losing her cord stump (already) and having her first go at a bottle (which she downed).

Baby Lucia

We're home! Everyone's settling in and doing well. Off to catch some zzz's while I can. More later!

She's arrived!

Our new sweet baby girl, Lucia Analiese, arrived yesterday, July 31st, at 6:44am - exactly 9 minutes after we made it to the birth center! We were home by 1:00 to introduce her to her big sister Isabelle, but ended up heading to the hospital for some complications later that evening. Hoping to get home tonight to settle into our new routine! (and upload some pics!)
