Friday evening Tara and Anthony got here just in time to tell Lily goodnight. Then the rest of the evening we had a chance to just catch up and eat a good dinner together (yes, I can cook!). I have to say thank you though to Alicia for her delicious chicken pot pie recipe!
Saturday morning we went to Sears to get some pictures taken of her. We got a sitting up pose, propped up on her hands, and then one standing up in her dress. She was of course very cute although by the time the dress picture came time, she was starting to get fussier since we had been messing with her so much. We should get them back in about a week. Picking out pictures is usually VERY difficult for me though. We also had to pick out stuff for family too. Pictures (even at cheaper places) are definitely not cheap! It's worth it though cause she's only little once.
Saturday afternoon we had a big cookout at Peak's View Park with all my girl friends from college and our families. It was a big more difficult having a baby at the park especially since she is not supposed to be in direct sunlight yet (can't wear sunscreen) for extended periods of time. We were able to find some shade though to sit in and we had brought her pack-n-play so she could sprawl out and explore which she loves to do. We also bought this umbrella that could attach over the pack-n-play to keep her in the shade. All in all, it was a very fun time and we had some delicious cook out food. YUM!! Lily did really good too.
Afterwards, we convinced Tara and Anthony to stay another night since it was later and we were all tired - plus we enjoy their company. :) So last night we had "the office" marathon on tv since we have all the seasons. I was so pooped though that I got on the air mattress with Tara and I think we both fell asleep!
Today was just a relax day from the weekend! We skipped church and then this afternoon went to Old Navy and a few other stores. Now I am just enjoying being at home!
In a Lily update - the past two nights she has woken up once in the middle of the night with *i think* reflux. She has these times where it's like milk comes up her nose or something and it freaks her out. So I just went in and held her up for a few minutes while she settled down and she fell right back asleep. I have started using diaper doublers (they look like maxi pads - ha) in her diapers at night to alleviate the peeing out her diaper every night problem. We tried all the brands and nothing worked since she doesn't get it changed for 12 hours while she's sleeping at night. I read about the doublers on a mom forum and they worked like a charm! Like I said, it's just like a maxi pad and you put it inside the regular diaper for more absorbency. WONDERFUL!!
Next weekend will be another busy one - we're headed to virginia beach. So for now I'm going to enjoy some down time at home with just us!
