What a week and a half!

Katherine is eleven days old, and what a whirlwind it has been. She's been going to the pediatrician, and everything is fine. She eats.

and eats.

and, well, I think you get the idea. She "cluster feeds." Basically, she pigs out for a while, then sleeps for an extended period of time, then pigs out again. The advantage is that we have actually gotten a couple of good nights sleep this far.

Mary Joyce is turning into a pretty good big sister. She has had her jealous fits, of course, but over all, she is handling it real well.

We were very blessed to have had grandparent assisstance ever since the delivery. Dusty's parents were here until the Friday after the delivery, and then my parents came down the next day. (Dad flew back on Sunday, but Mom has been here since, and is leaving tomorrow morning (August 18)). They have made this transition SO much easier.
