Our first full day together...

Last night we put Luisa down and prayed for her as a family.  And thanked God for her life.

  When we left and shut the door she started saying "momma!" I was ready to go back in there and scoop her up, I not sure she meant me, but that is my name so I was on my way, but...Ryan said, just wait a few minutes, see what she does.  So I stood by that clock on the wall and waited and within 3 minutes she was sound asleep!  And she slept until 6 am, then we put her in bed with us and she slept until 7:30!  We ate breakfast and then....

I tackled the hair!  It was late and I didn't want to over do it yesterday so we waited to give her a bath until today (she was very clean and well taken care of) so it wasn't a huge deal, but I was excited to do her hair.

She would not sit down for her bath, not sure if she is used to showers only?  She did great getting her hair washed and she had fun throwing water over Anaya's head!

As I was doing her hair...I noticed a few lice nits!  UGH!  Now I regret not bathing her last night!  She slept in my bed!!!  Oh, well.

  I picked through her hair and removed all that I could find.  We loved on her all day long and bought some lice shampoo tonight and will do that tomorrow.  My scalp is itching just thinking about it, but...look at that face!

 Her schedule said she has a bottle, then she takes a nap at 10 am for an hour.  I did not bring a bottle!  So I tried the 3 sippy cups that I brought and she kept wanting to tip it back like a bottle and they didn't work that way so...she ended up just going to sleep.  I was contemplating getting a bottle or a sippy cup that is closer to that, but forgot when we were out tonight!  It didn't really phase her though, she slept until about 12:30!

The boys, Ryan and Mary Ellen went to the pool, and I stayed home with sleepy baby!

 

Then after lunch, which consisted of under cooked spaghetti (oops, Ryan!) and tomato paste(oops Stacy!) { In my defense, there was a picture of spaghetti on the front of the bag?  How was I to know!}  We did have some delicious pineapple and some pudding I brought from home!

  After dishes, done by Easton and Daddy today, we we all rested for a bit and Luisa took yet another hour and a half nap!  I guess we tucker her right out!

Tonight we went out to dinner for hamburgers and Luisa ate like a champ!  She is real laid back and loves it when the kids play "I'm going to get you!"  Or peek-a-boo.  But she is not into them holding her or crowding her just yet!

After dinner Ryan took the boys swimming and Mary Ellen and I went and got groceries with the 2 girls.  I had so much stuff hanging on the back of the stroller that when I took my hand off the stroller, she flipped backwards!  NICE!  Thankfully she just sat there and we quickly sat the stroller back up and she was totally fine!  Slightly embarrassing as we were standing at the counter waiting for lice shampoo! 
She saw this bag of hard bread like stuff and tried to grab it and was talking about it, so I bought it and...

She ate it!  I think she may have had that before.

Anaya still loves her sister!  Luisa is doing very well thus far and we are so excited to see more of her personality come through in the days and weeks ahead.

Love you baby girl!

*We had our first bleed today, Easton came in and told me she was bleeding, so I went to the other room and sure enough, there stood all the boys around her and she had her sippy cup in her hand and there was a tiny bit of blood on her face, we think she may have hit her gums with the cup?  Either way all the prepping of the boys paid off.  They knew what to do and no one freaked out!  I took her to the sink and cleaned her up and that was that!  No hazmat suits needed!
