Sweet Kate is one week old today and we are one week wiser around here :). We went to our doctor's appointment today and she was the picture of health. Very alert and moving around a lot, but no crying (she saves that for the middle of the night!). This was actually our 2nd appt., our first one was Saturday morning, the day after we came home from the hospital. They wanted to check her level of jaundice, which was fine, but the funniest part of going to the appt. was that all we took was her in her car seat...no diaper bag, papers from the hospital..nothing. We obviously were new parents in a complete fog of exhaustion. We laughed about it after we got home that we were so "new" at this.
Kate is an amazing little girl and makes us smile, laugh and become frustrated when she becomes her "nighttime Kate". It amazes me every time I look at her that she came from my belly and from God and we are so thankful that she is healthy and thriving and doing well. We are learning what it means to truly be tired around here, but are grateful for the help of family right now. Here are a couple new photos to see :).
P.S. Big brother Tucker is amazing and funny to see with her. He watches my every move and checks her out everywhere she goes. He licks her feet and gives her a sniff and will lay beside me as I feed her. He is so fun to watch and we look forward to when she is older and they can play together!

hilarious - I still go places w/out my diaper bag sometimes. not sure it ever gets easier:) Pregnancy brain just becomes mommy brain.
She is SO beautiful!!!
She is a very pretty little girl!
OMG she is GORGEOUS. Really! Not all newborns are as beautiful as she is. You will LOVE her relationship with Tucker. Mia Grace and Sophie (our Rottie) are best buds. You many not like the fact that lots of laundry is in store as dog hair will be all over everything! Wow, isn't being a mom the greatest thing ever. It's a remarkable experience and Kate sure is blessed to have both of you!
