Spring Break

This week was Scott's spring break so we decided to go to Boise to look for apartments. Since we have to move to Boise in May we had to look for somewhere to live and spring break was the perfect opportunity. So on Monday we drove to Boise and got to spend some time with my Grandparents. Catherine got to meet her great-grandma Reddington (my Dad's mother) and, her great-grandma and grandpa Welch (my Mom's Father and Step-Mom). Her great-grandparents just loved her. We found an apartment while in Boise and have sent in the down payment. It is a lot like our house, just on one level instead of having the stairs like our house. I also found out tonight that my dad lived in the same place when he was 18. Weird right??
Catherine is now almost 3 weeks old and getting more and more alert. Her baby acne just showed up and, I'm hoping, it is gone by her blessing on the 1st of May. She stays awake for longer periods of time now. I love having her awake! She is also sleeping for 5 hours at night now. She has started holding her head up, she is getting so big!
We also were able to make it to Grace this week. While in Grace we stopped to see Scott's grandparents (his Dad's parents) and they absolutely loved Catherine as well. So she had a week full of great-grandparents. It was pretty cool to see them with her. Also Scott's brother and sister-in-law K'Lyn brought their new little girl out to Scott's parents house so we could see them. Their little girl was born 3 days afterCatherine. They were really cute together.

She is finally here!!

After what feels like forever, our daughter is finally here. Catherine Belle was born Monday March 7th, 2011 at 8:06 a.m. She weighed 7lbs 12oz and was 21 inches long. She has brown hair and the cutest face. My labor and delivery went really well, and there were no problems. I went in to be induced Sunday night at 7 p.m. they started the cytotec at 8, and within 2 hours my labor was progressing so well that they didn't need to give me anything else. We are now home and loving our new daughter. Scott is absolutely in love! I love seeing them together. She steals the hearts of everyone she meets. She is quite a mellow baby, except at night... She hasn't had real good nights yet. Last night was the first night that she wasn't awake for 7 hours straight, but she is doing really well. We saw the pediatrician on Thursday and he said she is doing really well. We are so happy she is here and healthy. Scott and I love her so much, and are so grateful to have her in our lives!!
