Our little girl is still changing from one day to the next, but she’s proving to be a big feeder.  Frequency and duration are really picking up.  I need to learn how to duct-tape her to me 🙂  At a visit to the pediatrician yesterday we learned that she had gained back all of the weight she lost in her first few days in this world.  Apparently it’s normal for babies to lose some weight in the first few days after birth (she lost half a pound between Friday and Sunday), and doctors usually like to see the baby back up to birth weight within two weeks of birth.  She did that between Sunday and Wednesday.  Way to go, Katherine!

My parents are driving in from Iowa today and tomorrow and should be here tomorrow afternoon.  As far as we’ve come in figuring things out around here, it will be great to have some experienced hands (hands of any kind are welcome, really!) on deck. I’ve never seen my mom in the sway of grandmotherly feelings, so this will be new stuff for everybody.

Sydney can’t believe that he is doing two things at once. Isn’t that called multitasking or something?
