Back in January, when my family was up for Ethan’s baptism we decided that we would probably have the baby’s blessing over 4th of July weekend. She hadn’t even been born yet and we had no idea if we were having a boy or a girl, but we were already planning the baby blessing. 🙂 This weekend turned out to be more crazy than expected. Yesterday we went to Orem for Lars’ baptism, and my parents drove into town. Today we had Lydia’s baby blessing, and due to the baptism yesterday, not all of the family were able to come to our ward for the blessing. 🙁 She looked beautiful anyways:

Lydia was awake, but quiet through the whole blessing, then decided after, that she was going to be gassy and was fussy for the whole rest of the meeting. 😉

The bit of Kyle’s family that came out for the blessing decided that they couldn’t stay for dinner afterward due to the fact that the Andelin family reunion down in Mt Pleasant was planned for the same evening, which was a bummer. We might have actually gone to that if we hadn’t been planning on having the baby blessing today for the past several months instead.

Tomorrow Lydia will be six weeks old so today we had a visit with Valerie. Lydia weighed in at 8lbs 9oz, but she was wearing a diaper and her shirt so maybe 8lb 8oz without. She’s exclusively bottle fed now, which still makes me sad, but seeing her grow does make me happy.

Lydia is still gaining weight and weighed in this morning at 7lb 6 oz. This past week her diet has been even more formula than breast milk though. I think despite my efforts milk production is still slowing down. Dang it. Well I’ll just keep trying and when it’s gone, it’s gone and I’ll just have to tell myself to be ok with it.
