Jimmer and Katelyn:
Us:
On another note, Katelyn will be 7 weeks old tomorrow! I can't believe how fast my little girl is growing! I stood with her on the scale this morning, and it shows her as 10 lbs!!! Just 5 weeks ago she was 8 lbs 5 oz, so if we go by the 1 oz per day she's supposed to gain, that's just about right on schedule.
Katelyn is definitely showing her personality. She has multiple facial expressions, she kicks and flails her arms, and she smiles and coos! She likes to cluster feed during the day, eating only 7-8 minutes every hour to hour and a half...but at night, she'll sleep 2.5-3 hours in between feedings. I have to say I'm ready for longer stretches of her sleeping (and in her own room) so that I can sleep a bit better. Last night, she did sleep through the night, from 10 to 5, but I won't believe it until it happens for at least a week. :) We're putting her in her crib for naps, but I don't want to have her sleep in the crib until we get a monitor. You'd think that as small as our house is, we wouldn't need one; but her room is just far enough away that it's hard to hear her cry from the living room and our bedroom when she's in there.
We went for our first girls' day out with Aunt Amanda last Monday, and we HAD to christen Katelyn to the joys of Nordstrom! We had fun, but I think auntie realized how much goes into carrying around an infant. One trip that should have lasted 1.5 hours max, ended up lasting almost 4 due to having to stop and change/feed/burp/console Katelyn. It's hard work!
Last weekend, Glen let the cat out of the bag that he booked us a trip to Las Vegas for my 30th birthday in August! Even better is the fact that our good friends Wes and Amanda from TX and Ryan and Lori from CA will be meeting us there! I am SOOOOOO excited!
SO: My goal is to fit into pre-pregnancy jeans and to buy a hot birthday night dress in a single-digit size.
Oh...the angel is awake from her nap...will start my next post with more pics!
