I'm a Mamarazzi...

Ken lent us his camera and I keep taking pictures of the WeeKitty... and thought I'd share her adorable-ness with the world...

Okay... not real sure why Blogger is uploading these this way, they're right side up in my computer, but I've tried everything and it keeps doing it... so here's some sideways Kitty for ya...


I call these our sleepy pictures... Kat has some nasty reflux and has trouble sleeping on her back sometimes, so we hold her a lot to help her sleep... it also means that we don't get much sleep ourselves... she's worth it!





Other than worshipping our adorable little piglet how are we doing??

Mostly tired. Tim is back at work now, so most of the caring for the Kat falls to me now, especially at night. Night is still her rough time (she was always more active in the womb at night too), but we're getting a little better every day. I gotta say the Moby Wrap is a lifesaver, especially with a baby with GERD... I can still do things (like post my blog, lol) and still have my Piglet close to me and able to sleep better upright.

Piglet??

She earned this name in the hospital, she turns pink and grunts and snorts when she eats, therefore, she is now our Piglet... one of her many many nicknames! Including: Kat, Kitty, Kitty Kat, the Kitten, Muffin Butt (it looks like one the way she sticks it out!), Pumpkin, Peanut, and Katherine Brigit (when she's being obstinate, LOL)

How is Kat doing?

She's pretty much a happy baby aside from digestive issues. We have her on both breastmilk from bottles, and Soy Formula. I had planned on breastfeeding exclusively, but being in the hospital on heavy fluids for so so long made things so that she had too much difficulty latching on. It also took my milk some extra time to come in (which happens with C-sections commonly) so we had to start her on formula. She currently gets about half and half, and it seems to be working well for us. Sometimes you gotta change your plans... and I'm totally cool with that. As long as she's happy and healthy (and she is!) I will do whatever works for my sweetheart.

Her super dark hair seems to be lightening some, and the thicker stuff has been falling out (like we knew it would) it looks like she's either going to keep getting blonder, or she'll have a sort of golden brown haircolor. Time will tell. Her eyes were a very dark blue when she was born, now they're already changing to a dark grey blue, we're not sure if they'll turn brown or stay blue. Either way she'll still be gorgeous. She's getting chubbier and chubbier, which is a good thing! She's already back at her birth weight as of her 3 day doctor checkup. Her umbilical cord stump has already come off, which is a bit early, but the doctor isn't all that concerned. He chalks it up to her being such a wiggler, she's very active and she just kept moving on it and moving on it until it eventually came off.

Other than that, all is well in Lewis-land! Much love all...
