With yesterday being a celebration of St. Patricks Day I started thinking about being lucky. If you acknowledge luck or wish someone good luck are you putting fate in the hands of chance and therefore taking power away from God? Can you be lucky and still be blessed?
Marcus and I continually talk about how lucky we are with Abby Lu. She really is a happy easy baby. I hate to say we are lucky and therefore give credit to anything but God.
Abby is such an easy baby. I don't attribute this to anything we are or are not doing as I know good parents have difficult babies everyday. Let me brag on her and tell you just how terrific she is:
- Started sleeping through the night IN HER CRIB at 9 weeks old
- Can be put down at night awake and PUTS HERSELF TO SLEEP
- Has no problem switching between the bottle and nursing. No nipple confusion, no latching problems!
- Loves to have her diaper changed but could go for hours with it dirty.
- Loves bathtime. She just smiles and sits contently as we go through the process.
- Likes to take walks and be outdoors.
- Doesn't mind shopping (we went into 5 stores today!) provided she can see what is going on.
- Sleeps on car rides given about 5 minutes to wind down
- Smiles, laughs and coos at us
We are so so very lucky and blessed to have this wonderful baby girl in our family. Thank you God!

Love the new blog layout!
IMHO: Lucky IS blessed...it's just another word for the great bounty God gives us! When we say "good luck", we're simply asking God to bless the recipient. So you are absolutely right in that you are lucky for all of the blessings you have!
You are very blessed to have such an amazing little girl!!!! She is so darn cute!!!! How's work going for ya?
