Lydia is now 5 weeks old. I can't believe how quickly it's gone. She seems to change every day. Looking at pictures from the day she was born and today...what a difference! She is so easy going, loves to be held and we're still working on that whole sleeping at night thing! She's been to 3 family reunions, a Great Grandpa's 89th birthday party, her Nanny's retirement party, a couple bbq's and will be going to her first bachelorette party this weekend!

My how they change...

So Lydia is not even 3 weeks old and she has changed so much already. She really is a good baby and a good little eater! She's been to two family reunions and will be attending her third today. We're struggling a little with sleeping at night. She likes to keep things interesting and sleep a couple hours then up for an hour, then sleep for 4 hours...last night she was up at 1 and didn't really fall back asleep until almost 5 then she was back up at 7!!! Mom is a little tired! But she is so sweet and is a great snuggler!

She's Here!!!!

Lydia Vivian Meece was born July 23, 2007 at 10:59 pm. She weighed 8lbs 15.6oz. I started having contractions sunday night and at 3:30am my water broke. After 17 hours of labor and not dialating past 4 I had a c-section. We were in the hospital until thursday and things were going well. I was sore and had some bladder and back pain but didn't really think anything about it. I just figured it was par for the course with a c-section. On Sunday we had a busy day going to church and having some visitors and I started not feeling well. By 7 pm I felt like I had a fever and sure enough I had a tempurature of 103! My mom tookd me to the ER and they admitted me. I had a kidney infection, a bladder infection and an infection in my incision. I was so upset about not being able to be home with Lydia. But she had her dad and granparents taking fantastic care of her. I was in the hospital until wednesday and was so happy to come home!

Lydia had her 10 day check up today and she now weighs 9.5lbs and is 21in and is doing great! She's already been to 1 family reunion and we have another this weekend and another the following weekend!
