Sleep is for the Dead

Cate's personality has been coming out more these past two days. The first two days were pretty quiet, but lately she's been getting a little more vocal. We're trying to figure out when she's hungry or when she is having gas pains. I don't know if she even knows... The other night we went to bed at 5:30 am. It's hard when you're trying to make her happy and everything you do doesn't work. She sure is eating a lot. This morning I fed her for a full hour and a half. Not long after that she's ready for more. I don't know where all this food is going. It's so nice to have Duke's help. He can bottle feed her every other time. I will be pretty busy when he goes back to work. I always wondered what moms meant when they said they had no time for anything after they had their babies. Now I know. It's so funny that she is almost 3 months old because we don't see her as a 3 month old . The doctors have told us all along that she will always be 3 months behind until she is 2 years old. We are to see her as a newborn at her due date, which is January 26th. Isn't that crazy? She's still supposed to be in my belly for another week! Oh yeah,
we went to the pediatrician on Wednesday. All went well. She weighed in at 4lb, 1oz (with diaper).

Hey Guys!!! I am so happy to hear that things are going well. She is a little miracle, and I am so happy for the two of you. As soon as she is able to, I hope to visit you and finally meet Cate. All of you continue to be in my thoughts and prayers.

Hi! So sorry I didn't get to see you leave from NICU. I had six days off and about four of my little friends were gone! I was pretty lonely when I came back. I'm glad to hear that you are adjusting to being at home with her. Is the Cate volume still on extra high? I'm not going to lie, I miss her sound...just a little. Take care and I look forward to more updates. Kate Cz, CCP
