More pictures...

I should just rename this blog to be "The 24/7 chronicle of Kate's life" or something like that, since I have a feeling I'm going to be uploading picture after picture. :)




Tracy & Rori came over at about 3 pm on Friday, so Kate was only about 13 hours old.


Kate on Sunday; three days old.

Her eyes look brown in this picture, but they really are a dark blue.





She only really gets mad if she's hungry or she wants to be changed, although even when we change her, she hates it because she does not like being naked at all. She's only happy when she has her clothes on.


Tracy, Kiki and Rori came over on Sunday night, which was a lot of fun. The girls love their little cousin so much!


This is the big pillow I use to prop my arm up when nursing. Kate apparently likes to fall asleep on it after she eats. :)


I just love watching her sleep; she is so precious!



Here she is on Monday; day 4. The bandage on her heel is from when our birth assistant came over on Sunday and had to do the metabolic screening on her. She didn't like that at all, which made *me* cry because she was crying.

She loves sleeping on her side; she has ever since that first night at the birth center. We put her on her back but she just rolls right over.


I love her little feet!




She already loves to suck her fingers; she was doing that when she was only 10 minutes old!








A close-up of the beautiful flowers Tracy brought us. I think the bouquet look very English, which is what Tracy said she was going for, since Kate Elizabeth is a very English-sounding name.

Kate and I have just been relaxing in bed the whole time; we rarely even go downstairs. We don't need to; Dan is the most amazing husband in the world, and he'll run down and get me whatever I want to eat (which right now is lots of strawberries, blueberries and carrots, and he often makes me fruit smoothies too), in addition to cleaning the whole house, doing mountains of laundry, and cleaning out the nursery! He's amazing; I couldn't do this without him!

I feel remarkably rested; much more than I thought I would be as a new mom! Kate seems to like to nurse every hour for about three hours, then she'll give us a 3-4 hour stretch where she'll just sleep the whole time, so we are getting some consistent sleep. She's such a little peanut; I'm just so in love with her!
