Introducing Miss Lyla Grace

Lyla Grace was born on October 23rd at 9:18 am, she was 8 lbs 2 ozs and 19 1/2 inches. She is perfect in every way. Like you can see from the pictures she looks a lot like Ashlyn. Some moments when I look at her it's kinda scary, I feel like I am looking at Ashlyn when she was a baby.

The hospital stay was good. I have been healing nicely. Like Ashlyn, Lyla had to go on bili lights because she had jaundice. Her bilirubin levels didn't get nearly as high as Ashlyn's which was good. And Lyla's pediatrician let us go home on time, we were able to bring the bili lights home with us. Wednesday we went to the doctors and Lyla's lab levels were good so we were able to stop using the bili lights. Which is so nice, we get to hold her now.

Ashlyn has been such a good big sister. She is constantly giving Lyla kisses and wants to hold her all the time. I'm making sure to give her cuddle time too, so she doesn't get jealous of her new little sister. So far Lyla has been pretty easy, like Ashlyn was as a baby. I have been pretty lucky to have just wonderful little girls.

Here are lots of pictures and videos of our new little girl.

Pumpkin Patch

On Sunday we went to the pumpkin patch to pick out some pumpkins. My parents came along and we ended up with two big pumpkins for Jason and Ashlyn to carve together on the day before Halloween. It was the last big outing still pregnant. Ashlyn enjoyed running around helping Papa and Daddy find the perfect pumpkin. She also kept posing for pictures by the scare crow. She kept on saying more pictures mommy, and smiling real big. Isn't she so cute.

4 More Days!!

I'm having a c-section on Thursday morning. I'm a little nervous, but really excited to finally see this little girl.

Cookies!!

Last week I was craving cookies, well more the cookie dough than the actual cookie, so Ashlyn and I made cookies for the first time. She loves to watch Jason and I cook and loved helping mommy measure and pour things. She too enjoyed the finished project.

Go Dodgers!!

We went to the Dodger Game last night. Jason is so excited at how far the Dodgers are going this year. Ashlyn came with us and was having so much fun swinging the Dodger towel in the air. It was a very exciting game and we are so glad they won. Here are some picture of a game we went to a couple weeks ago with Trish, Matt, Siena, Chris and Megan. I forgot my camera last night.
