The first visitors

Grandma and Grandpa Lloyd

We have had some visitors this week to meet the new little one and to help out a bit. My parents got here last Friday and they leave tomorrow, I can't believe it's already been a week! It has been a lot of fun having them here and it's allowed me to get some rest while Steve's been at a training for work this week. Abi has absolutely enjoyed them being here, I don't think she's let Papa rest for more than a minute at a time. We have done lots of fun things with them this past week-we went to Palisades Mall and ate at the Cheesecake factory and then let Abi ride the carousel there, we went to our ward Memorial Day party at Tod's Point, my parents took Abi to the Aquarium, we went to the beach, we went to the Stepping Stones Museum, the park, all sorts of stuff. Emma hasn't done much, she just mostly sleeps and messes in her diapers.

We had her 2 week check up today and she is doing great! She weighs 8lbs 3 oz, she is 21 in. (2 inches longer than her birth lenght) and her head is 14 1/2 cm. which is only in the 75th percentile-much smaller than most of the Lloyd babies. At her 4 day check up they were worried about her weight because she hadn't gained any weight since we left the hospital, so they told us we had to feed her every 2 hours for 30 minutes, apparently it worked, they were just hoping she'd get back up to her birth weight, 7lbs 13 oz, but she went above and beyond...

Thanks for the "GO UTES!!" boppy, Corrine.

Emma loves it and so does Abi

Abi had so much fun at the park with Grandpa. She'd been having a bit of a hard time adjusting to life with a little sister, but she's finally getting the hang of things. It was good for her to get a little extra attention from Papa.

It was so great to have my mom and dad out here this week! I am glad Emma got to meet them and that Abi was able to see them again. I am even more glad that they were here to help me out this week since I'm still recovering from having a baby, what life savers!!!
