Miss Caitlin arrived one week early - and her arrival was exceptionally speedy at that! From check-in at the hospital (7:55pm) to actual delivery (8:05pm), we logged a total of 10 minutes! Little did we know at the time, we nearly had to deliver on the side of the road in our Sequoia! My water broke at the hospital just after they put me in a triage room, and wham - it was baby time. Two amazing nurses delivered Caitlin -- it was such a fast delivery that our doctor had no chance of getting there in time. Fortunately, she was totally healthy and despite leaving us in complete shock over everything - the arrival was as smooth as can be.
Logan visited baby Cate on day two. He has been so sweet and loving to her, and we are so grateful for that. He certainly has had some "moments" in the last 10 days - but that's to be expected, I think. I feel like he seems soooo much bigger now that I've been carrying around a 7lb little baby.
We are absolutely in love with our new little munchkin, and I am soaking up every last moment of Scott's paternity leave this week. Caitlin is eating really well, and is sleeping decently. Mama could use a few more hours of sleep - but that will come.
