1 Month Old!

It's simply unbelievable that Kate is already 1 month old! As much as I thought time flew by before, its amazing how much quicker it goes by with a little one in the mix.

Things are still going very well. Mom and Kate actually had a pediatricians appointment the other day and we were thrilled to hear that Kate had gained almost a full pound since her last visit, which now puts her at 7 lbs. 15 ounces. Also, while her bilirubin number could be lower, it continues to drop from 9.1 a couple weeks ago to now 8.4. Our pediatrician again reassured us that this is completely normal and it sometimes takes a couple months for the "yellow" to go away completely. As long as her "plumbing" is working (which trust me....it is!) everything is A-Ok!

The last couple weeks, we've been fortunate to have family continue to visit. Auntie Dre and Uncle Ryan came here for the extended Memorial Day weekend and Uncle Greg (Burch) was with us last Tuesday through Thursday. It was wonderful to see you all and thanks so much for everything!

Other than that, we're having quite a bit of luck with Kate's new sleep schedule and with how were handling the evenings. Every night she seems to fall asleep a little quicker and sleeps a shade longer. She's happy and Mom & Dad are certainly happy. Until next time, take care everyone!
