Lucie is 1 week old!

Today marks the first full week since the birth of Lucie. We came home from the hospital on Tuesday afternoon. Lucie was born at 6:04pm on Friday, October 19, 2012 in Ann Arbor at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital. She weighed 8 lbs and 11.2 ounces/ 3.94kg! Her height was 21 inches/53.34cm. A big baby girl :) Lucie is derived from the name of Pierre's grandmother, Lucienne. It comes from the Latin root Lux, meaning "light" and Stella is Latin for "star." So, together her name means starlight :)


Since her birth, she has been breastfeeding like a champion! She lost very little weight in the first few days following birth and as of Wednesday, her weight has now stabilized --- with just her mommy's milk. Just 7 days old, she is now turning her eyes and her head in the direction of the sound when she hears her mommy or daddy's voice. She does the same when she hears her grandma Dao's voice too. She cried during her first "bath" but enjoyed her second bath - thanks to her grandma's soothing singing voice!

Here she is, taking a quick nap in a musical bouncer given to us by our friends Bobby andVilay.

A glimmer of a smile...

Papa's back from work!
