Almost!

Catherine has been very routine in her night time feedings. She usually wakes up between 1:30-2:00 a.m. and then again at 4:30 -5:00 a.m. Well, last night 2:00 came and went and of course I woke up expecting her to be ready to eat. I quickly realized she was still asleep and got SOOOOO excited. Then about 10 minutes later I heard that sweet whimper. BUT, the good news is she didn't wake up again until her "first" feeding at 7:00 a.m. So we are getting closer to sleeping through the night! Although, I wonder how long it will take me to get used to it once she actually does it. I'll miss how cuddly and sweet she is during the middle of the night.

We are packing up today to go to Gatlinburg for a few days with the Richardson's. Looking forward to spending time with family but also for me and Sid to get to spend time together sans Catherine. Then we will travel back to Birmingham to make the big move (furniture and everything else) to Indianapolis. I'm so ready to get settled into our house and into the community. I'm definitely missing my family and friends badly but hope to make new acquaintances soon. Guess I need to come up with a new blog title.....any suggestions?

Growing quickly

Well, 2 months have already flown by and Catherine is really starting to develop now. In those 2 months, we have also moved (kind of) to Indianapolis. Our family is finally back under one roof which has definitely been an adjustment for all of us, especially being in a tiny one bedroom apartment (poor Pudge).

Being a mom is everything I expected it to be and more. Tiring but oh so rewarding. Everyday is something new and I just love watching her grow and figure the world out.

Thought I'd share a video I took of her today. She just loves to sit and have chats with Mommy and especially Daddy. When he gets home she gets this HUGE grin on her face....priceless! Enjoy the video. (Ignore my very country sounding voice!).
