One Week Old!

(This should have been posted on Sunday, but, you know, there is a newborn in the house and other things take precedent right now).

Catherine is one week old today!  So far she is sleeping a LOT and having lots of dirty diapers.  She is only taking about 1 to 1 1/2 oz of milk every 2 1/2 to 3 hours.  I'm pumping, not straight nursing.  It just works out better for both of us this way.  We have a tendency for both of us to fall asleep every time we tried to nurse.  And because she is so little I like to know how much she is getting at each feeding.

(We went back to the doctor for a weight check on Monday.  She has gained 4 oz in 5 days, yeah!  So, now her current weight is 5 lbs 7 oz.  She is doing good!)
She makes the cutest and funniest faces in her sleep.  We are smitten with her.  She is so wonderful and we love her to pieces!
