The incident

Well, I had my first big scare since becoming a mommy. On Tuesday the new shower curtain I had ordered arrived. So I went to Bed, Bath and Beyond to get a shower curtain rod. I came home and hung it up and marveled at how wonderful it looked.
Later that afternoon I decided to take a bath. I put Lucy in her bouncer(like I always do) and sat her next to the tub. I went back into my room for a split second when I heard a crashing sound followed by Lucy screaming. I panicked and ran in there to see what had happened. The rod had fallen down and was laying next to the bouncer, but I couldn't tell at this point if it had hit Lucy or just scared her. I picked her up and quickly inspected her. Luckily there was no blood, but her face was red from crying so I couldn't tell if there was a bump. I loaded her up in the car and called Brad and my mom. I wasn't sure what to do, I didn't want to take her to the emergency room and wait for hours and then be told it hadn't even hit her. My mom suggested I call her doctor's office, so I did. They said to bring her in and they would check her out. Of course, as soon as I got to the office she had fallen asleep which I thought was a good thing(and far better than screaming). The nurse informed more that in case of a concussion, I couldn't' let her sleep. Let me tell you how much she loved being woken up...
After giving her a thorough checkup, the doctor said she was fine and to get ready... because this was just the first of many more "incidents". Ha, I think I aged 10 years in that one day and earned a few more gray hairs!

She's a big girl now!

Well it's official... Lucy loves to sleep in her room! Okay, maybes LOVES is a bit of an exaggeration. She tolerates it. But either way, she made the transition pretty smoothly. The LullabySpa is a godsend too. She loves to stare at the light show! I think the biggest struggle has been for me to get used to her not being as close by. Of course I didn't sleep much the first night but I'm adjusting :)

I got her a bumbo seat a few days ago and she seems to like the new point of view it gives her. She looks like such a big girl sitting up in it. I'm also attempting to make(last minute) Christmas cards, so we played dress up yesterday. She didn't seem too into it, but I did get some hilarious pictures.

Look at that headband!

In her bumbo

She is actually THROWING her pacifier at me!

So pitiful

Ok mom, are we done now??

Big Night

Tonight is the BIG night! Lucy has been sleeping in our room since she was born. The past week I've been having her take her naps in her own room to get accustom to it. It's been pretty uneventful and she seems to laying in her crib and looking around at everything. She has the most decorated room in the house so there is a lot to look at.
So tonight I'm going to try to put her to sleep in there for the evening! I'm optimistic(foolishly??) that things will go smoothly. I bought her a Homedics Lullabyspa that Jackie recommended to me, it plays music for an hour and also projects a picture on to the ceiling. It works like a charm for Mimi so I'm hoping it works for Lucy!
We are also going to get our Christmas tree tonight. I didn't get a chance to put one up last year since we had just moved so I am super excited about it!
Here are some more pictures of Lucy and also some of her nursery for those of you who haven't seen it.

Bird is the word

I was completely slacking this past week and didn't post anything so here is the update.

Lucy and I went to Victoria the Monday before Thanksgiving to hang out with the grandparents. Luckily both both sets of grandparents live close to each other so it's easy to visit with everyone. It was a good week and we had lots of fun visiting, shopping and playing Trivial Pursuit(even though we got our butts kicked). Lucy got to meet some of her extended family for the first time. I think she did pretty good and wasn't too overwhelmed even though there were tons of people.

Lucy is 3 months today and I can't believe it. Time really does fly. She is still sleeping through the night like a champ. I put her down to sleep at 9pm every night and she usually wakes up between 3-5 to eat and then is good for the rest of the night. She also rolled over for the first time (completely unassisted) last week! Lucy got a dolly from her Oma Hahn and it is her new favorite toy. She'll stare at it forever and just smile, like they are having a private conversation that nobody else can hear. She has also started this new impatient cry when you're not doing exactly what she wants... I'm calling it the Diva Cry. It's really loud and high pitched and I'm hoping it's just a phase- ha ha.

Here are some pics from last week.
