Katelyn Update!

Katelyn was a sweetheart the second she came! She breastfed immediately after her birth, and there havn't been any problems with that. She also doesn't spit up all of the time!! Hallelujah. (Liam had reflux.) She hardly every cries and does this hilarious grunt if she's uncomfortable. The only hard thing has been her sleeping: She woke up every 2 hours for the first few days home, but we are learning what helps her sleep. Now she can get 3-4 hours of sleep in a row. 

Troy and Liam were instantly excited about their little sister. Troy is very protective and makes sure that Liam doesn't get too close. Haha. He loves to give her kisses and sing to her if she starts to fuss. Liam likes to yell, "Hello!!" right in her face every once in a while. She sleeps right through it, so, she must be used to it
.

I am lacking sleep, but she is so good during the day that I'm getting through it. I am still on the recovery. I have been so grateful for the family and women around me helping. Devin came and slept at our house when we went into the hospital at 1 a.m. and Tyler and Annie came in the morning. My mom watched the boys the rest of the time and stayed with me a few days after. She chased the boys for me, got them ready and searched for their lost toys, over and over. Sweet mom! The RS has brought dinners and it's amazing how helpful food is!! Ben is pretty busy with his work (overtime), his calling and studying for the PE. I'm grateful for the energy he gives us when he's home, because I know he's exhausted. He gets up so early and doesn't have hardly any time to relax at night because he takes care of the boys for me and cleans. I feel like I should be more stressed, but I really feel so happy with my three little ones and the best husband. I was very stressed after Liam was born, and I guess I was just more prepared emotionally this time.

Katelyn was not a fan of the car seat. But once we started driving she was fine.

Daddy's little girl. She has stolen his heart.

Troy is the cutest big brother. He tried hard to hold her up ;) I like how Liam is literally diving out of the picture because sitting for 3 seconds is just too hard.

I can't get enough of my little daughter!
