Proud Momma :)

Alright well this week has been so much fun! She has got to take her first bath in the tub which she loves for the most part except being cold. She absolutely loves her head to be rubbed and hair to be dried! We made her little hand sculptures out of clay and I baked them. Also we had a doctors appointment Thursday and the checkup went very well! She is now up past her birth weight. She weighs 7lbs and 11oz and is measuring 20 inches long! So that means no more waking her in the night to eat. I just let her wake up on her own :) Well sorta of I really don't want her to go past 5 or 6 hours without eating. Last night I actually got a solid 5 1/2 hours of sleep uninterrupted and I still woke her up then to eat!! After a feeding which takes about 30 minutes we got another 4 hours. I did not crawl out of bed this morning until almost 10am...and my brother said those days were over for me now, ha! ;) Kate is a wonderful baby and she is so much fun! Her daddy soaks up every minute with her when he is at home. They have taken lots of naps together and have read lots of books together. She loves for us to read to her. She is staying awake alot more during the day now and is so alert. I don't think it will be much longer before she is really smiling and cooing at us. She is holding her head up very well and is already acting like she doesn't want to miss anything.
Hopefully in about another 3 weeks or so about the time she is 6 weeks old we can start to get out and around. Right now we just don't want to take a chance of her or me getting sick. We are just trying to be extra cautious. So hopefully VERY soon everyone will have a chance to meet this precious "Little" girl the that the Lord has blessed us with :>


Blessings~
