Going to the doctor is not how most of us like to spend our birthdays, but Katie Beth was a trooper and did great! She barely made a peep when getting her blood taken; and we learned that she has exceeded her birth weight within a week, which the doctor said was rare...atta girl! She went from 7 lbs, 8oz at birth, to 7 lbs, 1oz at discharge on Saturday, and now we're at 7lbs, 10oz. Looks like we have another good eater on our hands so far, which makes mommy relax just a little, as this baby has been my delicate sipper instead of the voracious gulper her brother was!
Her days and nights are definitely a little turned around, and the nights are basically a blur, but nothing a little mid-day nap (for me) can't fix! She has just been a really sweet little girl these past seven days, and Tyler and I have decided we're not going to talk about her being a wild woman any more...for fear it might come true! She is an angel.
Ben is doing great - a doting big brother if I've ever seen one. He needs to know where she is at all times, and loves to touch her, hold her hand, and tickle her feet. Seeing them together just warms my heart and amazes me at the same time to know that they are both ours.
And now, just a few pics from Katherine Elizabeth's first week at home...
Snuggling with Daddy - we miss you and can't wait to see you tomorrow night!
Tickles from big brother
Baths with Mommy...someone's gotta do the not-fun stuff!
We've had a good week with Grandma here to help, but she's spending a lot of time behind the camera these days. More to come (eventually)!

I'm guessing that was an indirect way to tell US to stop calling her "wild woman." Duly noted. :)
Happy Birthday, Katie Beth! Keep growing strong little girl, so you can tickle your big brother back one day!
She is so beautiful! So glad things are going well!!!
