5 Days Old!

Katelyn had her first visit to the doctor's office today. She is doing really well. When we left the hospital on Monday she weighed in at 8 lbs 6.4 ounces. This morning she weighed in at 9 pounds 1 ounces, surpassing her birth weight! We are moving out of the newborn clothes and diapers fast. She is very well tempered and loves to sleep. In fact, we have been waking her up if it has been over 4 hours since she ate last. Breastfeeding is going well. Her eyes are still a deep blue and her hair a reddish/blonde. She hardly cries unless we are taking to long to change her diaper or get ready to feed her. She has starting sighing while she is sleeping and even when she is eating. It is so cute. Look at those thunder thighs! You can count the wrinkles. Remind you of anyone?

Welcome Katelyn Mae Hodge!

38 Weeks!

Hello All,
We had our 38 week appointment this past Friday. All is well. The baby is head down and I am already 1 cm dilated. Overall I have been feeling okay. I've just been feeling extra tired and having some trouble walking with the lower back pain. Addi is very excited for her little sister to come. She asks questions about her every day. Here are some ultrasound pictures from this pregnancy.
