Life with Kate has been one new adventure after another. She loves to sleep all day and be up all night long, which makes for two very sleepy parents! Kurt is great with her, especially at 2am when it's party time. She has been to church for the first time, and she was a huge hit! We are having pictures taken today for a birth announcement. We'll try to post some of those pictures here for your viewing pleasure. Next week will be Kate's first road trip to Texas. We are going to visit Lori's cousin from Chicago, and we are looking forward to seeing how Kate does in the car for 3 1/2 hours. She loves her car seat, so we are thinking optimistically.
For every hard night that we have with Kate, she seems to provide us with a "worth it" moment. Today, she giggled out loud 3 times in a row with the sweetest smile on her face! Right now, she is asleep on Lori's stomach as this is being typed. She takes such little breathes and smells so good! Parenthood is the hardest job anyone can have, and we both definately appreciate the jobs our parents did a million times more now.
Her 2 week check up went very well. The doctor said that her length is average (20 inches...up 1 1/2 since birth!), but her weight and head circumference are "petite". Who would have guessed that Kurt and I could make a petite baby? She has an umbilical hernia, but the doctor said those usually heal on their own with time. We just need to watch it for a while. We get a break from doctor visits until she is 2 months old as long as all is well. So, on August 10th,(her aunt jenny's birthday) we will head back for the first round of shots, which won't be much fun for Kate or Mom to watch! Thanks for checking in on our girl. Check back for more updates as she keeps growing!
