Well we have made it and Katie will be 10 weeks old tomorrow. We are getting 6-7 hours of sleep in a row at night, which is fantastic. Katie is such a joy in our lives. Being parents has definitely changed our routine. Evenings used to be a spontaneous schedule of dinners with friends, TV watching, shopping or other outings. Now we eat at home, watching Katie in the swing or trying to get her to smile. We wouldn't change it for anything:) Yesterday my day started at 3:30 a.m. and when I would normally go back to sleep I just stayed awake thinking of all the things I could be doing. I finally surrendered and got up at about 5 a.m. The day then proceded to follow a predictable routine with Marley attacking my in-laws dog, who until then we had been planning to dog-sit, Katie producing a monster spit-up, which required an outfit change on both our parts, and then, while I marvelled at how good Katie was being in her bouncer seat while I showered, she filled her diaper and much of the seat with an impressive blowout diaper. Just a typical day in our lives now:) Even though we are cutting back on a lot of our previous activities, we are finding new fulfillment in the everyday activities and just being with each other. I will be attaching new photos as well. Enjoy!
