Home with Lucy

Our sweet little Lucy Mae is now 6 days old and we are so happy to be home together as a family, with everyone healthy.  It has been a long week for all of us, and recovering from surgery with a newborn and a 2 year old would be absolutely impossible if it weren't for the prayers and support from our family and friends.  Most of all, I am so lucky to have the best husband in the world, who understands what it means to be a partner to me and a father to his children.

So here is a little piece of our story of bringing Lucy into the world, and some pictures to go with it.

Nick and I left to check into the hospital on Monday morning.  Here is one last shot of my big pregnant belly!

 Lucy Mae Vollmer, born at 1:46pm on Monday, April 9th.  7 lbs 5 oz, and 19 inches long.

Meeting big brother Ben for the first time.  Ben was so excited to meet her, he just giggled and giggled!  And since bringing her home, he has been an absolute sweetheart, just nothing but love for his little sister.

Wide awake!

Our first family photo- it's a little blurry but you get the idea:)  

Again, a little blurry but I love this shot of my two precious kids

Ben loves holding Lucy on his lap!

A little daddy time

Why hello there.

 Thank you again to those of you who have said a prayer, visited us, and been a huge help over the last week.  We are so fortunate for a great support system with our family, and don't know how we would have done it without them.

More pictures of Lucy to come- I now officially have 3 months at home to bond with my precious daughter!
