Week One

It is hard to believe that Katherine is a week old. She was scheduled to arrive this morning, Wednesday, January 26th. I am a HUGE planner so it still does not seem real that she is here. We are adjusting better than I ever expected. Katherine is a GREAT baby. I have to wake her every 3 hours during the day to nurse and she sleeps around 5-6 hours between feedings at night...I don't believe in waking a sleeping baby at night!! This tired momma feels blessed to be caught up on sleep. Sleep was something that we did not get much of in the hospital. We got 2 hours of sleep on Monday night, 6 hours on Tuesday night, and 4 hours on Wednesday night. I feel like a new women now that we are home and she is sleeping so well.

Miller LOVES his sister. He is SO sweet and has not shown any jealousy. I am sure we will have times but so far he loves her so much and is very protective of her.

Miller loves his sister SO much that he shared his blanket with her. If you know Miller and his love for airplane aka blanket then you know this is TRUE LOVE!!

The only time Katherine has really gotten upset was during her first bath at home. Miller teared up seeing her so upset. We had to reassure him that she did not like her bath and that we were not hurting her.

We were released from the Hospital on Luke's 35th birthday. So Luke did not feel left out even though he was as excited as I was to be home in our own bed we had a impromptu birthday dinner party with my family.

He said this was his BEST birthday present EVER!!

Aunt May May came and visited us for the weekend and helped out tremendously with Miller and Katherine.

Miller kept us entertained all weekend as you can see.

I took a picture of Miller every month in the same spot to document his growth. I started Miss Katherine's pictures today. Here she is as a newborn. It shows how tiny she is.
