Taking Mommy to the Doctor

I took Mommy to the doctor today. She just had to go for a check up. We went to visit the doctor that delivered me. She was really nice and she said how cute I am. I got a picture with her because Mommy forgot to get a picture of us together when I was first born. So I look a lot bigger than a newborn in this picture since I am seven weeks old.

Visit With GG

Last weekend I went to visit GG. Gram, Poppy, Mommy, Daddy, Riley, and I went. We left Saturday morning. I slept the whole way there. This was my first time to meet GG. She is a nice old lady. She liked to hold me and talk to me. She talked in a sweet voice. Everybody likes to do that. They must think that I like high piched voices.

We just hung out at GG's house all day. Daddy and Poppy left and went to an IU football game that night. Gram made chili and vegetable soup. I wish that they would let me have some, but Gram says I am too little. Riley got to eat some, I don't think that is very fair.

I had a really bad night Saturday. About eight o'clock I decided that I was going to cry all night. Mommy said she was tired of it and so she strapped me into my car seat and took me for a drive. It took me about thirty minutes to give in and go to sleep. Mommy drove all around Brazil. At least I got to see where GG lives.

The next day Great Aunt Mary, Ashley, Katherine, and Madelyn came to visit me. The all liked to hold me too.

We had a nice visit. Then we left. I think that I will make mommy take me up there again to visit soon because GG said that it is hard for her to get down here to visit me.

Riley Was Bad!! I Was Good!!

Mommy was really upset with Riley today. She ran away from mommy four times. The first time was in the parking lot at the YMCA. Mommy dropped one of her bags and my carrier in the car and ran after her. Then we went to Hobby Lobby and Riley ran away from her two times while we were there. Mommy was running around the store pushing my stroller. That was kind of fun for me, but I don't think it was for mommy. A lady stopped Riley for mommy one time. The last time was when we got home and Riley ran out into the street. Mommy had to tell me about that one because I was asleep in the car.

I told mommy that Riley is just two years old and does not understand that she is being bad and how badly she could get hurt. I also promised mommy that I would not run away like that. Then she reminded me that I could not because I am always strapped down in a carrier.

I have been a really good girl today. I was good at the YMCA. Everybody likes holding me there. I was so good because I let mommy work out for a half an hour after my feeding time. She really needs to get back into shape so I figured I should let her. I also did not run away at Hobby Lobby like my sister. Then when we got home I took a nice long nap so that mommy could eat lunch and take a shower. I can't have her smelling like sweat you know. I also cannot put up with her crying saying that she is hungry.

Well I think that I am hungry so I better go eat and then I think that I am going to smell like something else and mommy will have to change me.

Hospital Stay

Well Mommy had to rush me to the emergency room on Sunday. She said it was because I had a fever of 101.1 and I am so little. When we got there they asked mommy a bunch of questions put me on a little table to weigh me and stuck that thing up my but again to get my temperature. I tried to tell them mommy already did it, but mommy kept saying shhhhh.

After the doctor came in to see me the nurses took some of my pee pee. I don't know why they would wan that. Then this really nice guy made me lay on a big table and he made mommy put on a really heavy shirt. They called it an apron, but I don't even know what that is. Then they took pictures of my chest. The guy said that I did a really good job.

Then the meanness really started. Those ladies stuck this really sharp thing in my arm and it hurt. Then they tried to make me not bend my arm by putting a board thing on it. But I showed them because I kept bending my arm anyway. I am one strong little girl can't they see that. Then they got really really mean because about four people came in the room and they made my mommy leave. The doctor told her she would cry. What does he know I am the one that cried and I cried a lot because they stuck this really sharp thing in my back. What kind of people go around hurting little kids. When mommy cam back she told me that they were not trying to hurt me and that they were trying to help me. Because she is my mommy I will believe her, but they really did hurt me.

After all of that some guy took us to another room and we stayed in that room for three days. While we were there people kept checking me out putting stuff up my butt, on my leg, in my arm, and on my chest. Again mommy said it was to help me. All anybody did to her was give her food and drinks. I really don't see how that is fair.

People came to see us everyday. Daddy was there as much as he could be. He had to work and take care of Riley. Riley came to visit too. So did Gram, Poppy, Steven, Melisse, and Sabrina (Mommy's friend). Mommy said that Kevin and Kristie wanted to come to visit, but that she told them they couldn't so that Kristie would not get sick.

Well as you can tell we are back home now or I would not be writing this to you. We went in at 4 am Sunday and came home at 9 pm on Tuesday. I was fever free and took my antibiotics like a good little girl so mommy said they let me come home. It is good to be back with Wrigley and Riley everyday again. But it is really nice having that thing out of my arm. Now mommy just has to remember to give me my medicine everyday. Good Luck with that mommy.

Oh yeah I almost forgot. We went to the doctor's office yesterday and I weigh 11 lbs now. Mommy said WOW!

Sleeping All Night Long

Last night I slept all night. Here is how it went. Mommy and Daddy went on their first date after having me. Gram and Poppy kept Riley and I. I had my first bottle at 9:00 and then I went to sleep after having my diaper changed sometime after ten. Mommy and Daddy picked me up after twelve. Riley got to spend the night. That was not fair but whatever, I know that I will get to do it someday too. When Daddy and Mommy got home they left me in the carseat and there I slept all night. I woke up about 7:30. It was a good long sleep. Mommy said that she liked it too, but that she wishes she would have gotten to bed sooner to take better advantage of it. I don't know if I will do it again tonight but I bet Mommy and Daddy hope that I do.

Doctor Visit

Well Mommy and Riley took me to the doctor on the 7th. The doctor said that I looked like I was doing very well. I weighed in at 10 lbs 10 oz and 21 inches long. My head was 14.5 inches. Mommy said that she did not think that I was that big. She said that Riley was 9 lbs 11 oz at her one month check up. I must be a good eater. I mean I only eat every three hours. Well I guess I am just a healthy girl.

One Month

Well I know what you are thinking, it is about time I start blogging I am already one month old. Here is the problem my mommy won't let me get on the computer much because she wants to give me kisses when I am awake. She says that I sleep too much to be spending my wake time on the computer. Not much is going on with me, just sleeping, eating, and making a dirty diaper. Mommy says that I am a good baby. I love to sit in the swing and the bouncer seat is okay too. Mommy usually only puts me in there when everyone else is sitting down at some big brown thing and putting some crazy looking stuff into their mouths. I mean aren't you just supposed to put your hand, a paci, and milk in your mouth. I don't know maybe Riley will teach me about that later. As far as Riley goes she is alright! I mean that girl just wants to kiss and hug me all the time. I do have to ignore her when she is loud in the mornings. She likes to run in my room (really it is mommy and daddy's room) and yell HI or baby. Doesn't she know that I am sleeping and that I do have a name. Daddy says that she is only two and we can't expect her to say my name all of the time. Daddy does assure me that Riley knows my name is Luciana. She does call me Luci sometimes and I guess that is okay. Daddy says that some people will call me Luci my whole life and some will call me Luciana and some will call me both. Mommy told me that she named me after a little girl that was in one of her classes. She said that the little girl was so cute and so good and that she just loved the name so she had to use it for me. I think that is pretty special. In fact I got to meet that little girl a couple of days ago. She was really nice. She is in fifth grade right now at mommy's school.

Well that is probably enough for now. I think that I have to go back to sleep. I don't stay awake much these days but it is getting to be more and more. Keep checking back, but don't expect too much because I am a very busy little girl.
