Jon shot a video of Lilla smiling at him in her chair in our kitchen. Doesn’t get much cuter.

Just got back from Lilla’s 8 week doctor’s appt and it’s official, she’s in the 97th percentile of height/length (she’s 24.5 inches long!) and the 75% percentile for weight (she’s 10 lbs 10 ounces). Plus when I told the doc about how she’s been smiling and making noises in response to us and rolling over, […]

Lilla is officially gaining and gaining and gaining. 22 ounces in 29 days to be exact. The doc (and Jon and I) are very happy that her days of starving screams are over. 🙂 Not only is she gaining ounces, she’s also ahead of schedule on the development scale. I mean, we don’t want to […]

I couldn’t resist posting the first pic from Lilla’s newborn shoot. I CANNOT wait to see all of the pics in a few weeks. Jon and I are just smitten!

Came across the video we took when announcing the news to the family that a baby (Lilla) was on its way. We’ve watched it repeatedly just to see everyone’s reactions. Lindsay caught on right away. My mom and Linda, well, not as fast. But when everyone realized the news was true (and Jon wasn’t just […]

Everyone tells you “having a baby changes everything.” Including Johnson & Johnson. And I knew that. I knew it’d be hard. Sleepless nights, poopy diapers, a crying child. What I didn’t know was exactly how hard it would be. Don’t get me wrong. It’s just that I didn’t realize what consecutive sleepless nights would feel […]

After 28 hours of labor, Lilla Grace Rodgers made her way into the world at 2:56am on Wednesday, July 13th, 2011. Weighing 8 lbs 15 ounces (yes, i can’t believe i was carrying around an almost 9lb baby!!!) and measuring 22 inches long, she cried just a little to let us know she was okay […]
[Continue reading...]The Waiting Game

Welcome to Lilla’s 21st century baby book. Today, July 5th, 2011, is her official due date. Yet there are no signs of her arrival. I’m convinced she’s aiming to be fashionably late. For my body and my sanity’s sake, I just hope she’s not too fashionable. Since this is the first official post, I’ll go […]
