A Long Overdue Update for Seven Months

Well now, it has been quite awhile since we’ve updated, now hasn’t it? Lulu’s six-month birthday has come and gone (as has another trip to Pennsylvania and my first extended leave from my girls–SIX DAYS is far too many!) and, as you’ll notice in her Flickr photostream, the little mushy thing that we brought home in December 2008 is neither very mushy or little anymore. At her most recent immunization appointment (7/15/09), she weighed in at 19 lbs and some ounces, towered over her former self at 28 and three-quarters inches, and took her third round of vaccines like a champ, crying briefly then sleeping sweetly for the duration of the afternoon.

Instead of lamenting our lack of updates (or delivering yet another acknowledgment that this site needs some freshening up [maybe for her one-year birthday!!]), I’ll take the next few days to recap the last couple months in as few words as possible. (more…)

Update Coming Soon. (promise!)

I know that many folks have been here looking for updates about the Lulumeister and, truth be told, we’ve been too busy oooh-ing and ahhh-ing and listening to the various coos and observing the newborn mannerisms and, and, and…

We’re starting to come to terms with the fact that we need to keep this blog updated, especially now that the little stinker (and I do mean stinker… she’s topped 10 diapers a day now… TMI, I know) is on the outside.

Mommy is going to take the half-birth-story that Daddy wrote at the hospital prior to all hell breaking loose (i.e., the wicked contractions, pitocin drip, epidural, and c-section) and finish it up so that y’all can relive the moment(s) leading up to and closely following her birth.

Daddy is going to revisit the site design (don’t worry, he’s still digging the nursery-themed color palate) to incorporate more of the kiddo herself, get the RSS stuff squared away, and work on some other odds and ends.

Thanks to everyone who comes by to check up on the little miracle who is currently feeding like there’s no tomorrow. Be sure to check Lucidia’s Flickr photostream (also available by clicking the link in the right-most column above the photo tiles) and Lucidia’s YouTube channel often, as we’re still in the “take-a-million-pictures-per-day” phase.

Here’s the kiddo, about to go shopping last night:

Welcome to lucidialohman dot com

Well, it only took a few weeks, but the site is live! It’s definitely (as noted in the header) not finished-finished yet (I have a ton of ideas to implement before I can remove the “under development” disclaimer), and maneuvering around might feel a bit clunky at first, but it’s a start (and anything, really, beats the placeholder of Lulu in the ultrasound picture, even as cute as she is).

Between Bradley classes (this week was week 4—all about the husband/coach thingy), prenatal appointments (another of which is to come on Monday), burned-out pool pumps, feeling our precious lulubean kick (very strong feets, that girl has), getting the house ready (I swear I’ll fill in the pin-holes in Lulu’s chair rail this weekend…OK, before the 1st Eagles game of the season), and (oh yeah) work, we’ve been quite busy here in Spartanburg.

A quick shout out (more…)
