At Home with Katelyn

Being home has been wonderful, even though we are not getting too much sleep at night, but we knew that was to be expected. Katelyn still has a wonderful, pleasant personality. During her wake times, her big eyes are exploring her new world and trying to figure us all out. She also knows her mommy's and daddy's voices very well. When either of us speak her head turns quickly towards our direction. She also is a very good eater, which has been a wonderful thing, because i was afraid this would be a struggle to keep her awake to eat, but this has not been a problem at all. We go back to the pediatrician tomorrow to see what her weight is. When we left the hospital she was down to 8lbs 3 oz.

At night, we are trying to get her used to sleeping in the pack n play beside our bed, but at times either Grandpa or Ama are taking shifts holding her, so mom and dad can get some sleep. Hopefully soon, she will sleep more than an hour at a time in her pack n play, because we wont have help for forever!

Here are some pics from around the house below. We have had her sunbathing already to make sure she doesnt get jaundice and it appears to be working, because her coloring has stayed the same!
