By popular demand...

More pictures.

Things are going okay here. And I think that's mostly because Jeremy is home about 80% of the time. He's keeping us all (and the house) going and from falling into disrepair. This little girl is sweet and happy, as long as she's being held. Every once in a while I can lay her down for a nap, and it's really nice! I can't complain too much, because we can also usually get her to sleep in her carseat during much of the night. I tried sleeping IN bed some with the other two, and my back and neck didn't agree with it so much...  Here she is in her normal sleeping position.

We were all sad to see my parents and Uncle Spencer go home last Saturday morning. The kids especially enjoyed Grandpa this time, and Grandma was the best at keeping our Katy-girl for stretches of the night by somehow convincing her that she wasn't really hungry. Mom, I think all the cute pictures of you and her are on YOUR camera, so I'll need to get those from you...  Grandpa did "nap duty" several afternoons, and I think they both enjoyed it...

Reilly is missing his Wii partner (Uncle Spencer) and Jaina is just missing attention, period. Her parents aren't nearly as sympathetic when she's feeling dramatic and abused...


Katy had her 2-week check up yesterday, and had thankfully gained about an ounce a day this last week. At one week she was 7 lbs 10 oz (down from 8-7 at birth) so I had been worrying about her gaining enough. She was up to 8 lbs 1 oz Thursday, and maybe she'll hit her birthweight sooner than the month it took her older siblings to do it in...

Her cord finally fell off just shy of 2 weeks, and now her cute cloth diapers are fitting a little better. She's not a huge fan of diaper changes in general though, especially if she's trying to sleep.
Reilly and Jaina are hanging in there, but they're probably wondering if life is ever going to get back to normal again...
And finally, some pics of all three kids, because my mom was beginning to wonder if such things would ever exist...
(I think this was a day only Jeremy and Katy actually made it out of pajamas...)

SO CUTE! Thanks for more pictures (: Yay for her gaining good this last week! I hadn't heard that happy detail.
I'm lovin' Jaina's new hair styles. They seriously make me smile more than almost anything.
Just curious, why are the car seats in the kitchen?

So PRECIOUS! It is cute to see Reilly and Jaina hold their baby sister! We wish you the best as you continue to adjust. I am happy to hear that Katie is gaining more weight this week. She will be back at her birthday soon! We miss you! Thanks for your comment on our blog! It was really sweet and made my day!

So glad Jeremy is able to be home with you. The kids are so cute! I guess it is paying off that Katie is such a good eater!

Cute Cute Cute. Love the classic picture of Katie and your dad. And I love Reilly's face in the one of all three of them.

Cute baby. And Reilly & Jaina look cute with her too. Hang in there for the big adjustment as you're on your own. Good planning on your part to have Jeremy home so much!

She is sooo sweet! Thank goodness Jeremy is home so much. That makes a huge difference when the hubby is there to help. But she is just beautiful!
