Please pray for my Pops. He had heart surgery this week (a bypass and valve replacement) and he is still in the hospital recovering. I went to go see him last night but do not get to go to the hospital a lot. Mommy thinks I am a little too active and into things. It is so exciting up there. All these big rooms with buttons to push and wires to pull. I went for a walk down the hall to visit all the nurses. They were glad that I was there. I also tried to go visit some of the other patients but mommy would not let me. Anyway, Pops will get to go home either Sunday or Monday and then I may get to go visit him again. Please pray for his recovery. It will be hard for him to rest and sit still since he is such an active man.

Today is my Grammy’s birthday. I did not get to see her because she does not live in town. I hope she had a great birthday and that she will come visit me soon. I love you Grammy,

Katherine

ps - Thank you for this cute outfit you gave me for Easter. I really like it.

This week I have been very busy with family and dad’s surgery. Because of this, I have spent more time away from Katherine than usual. I really have missed my baby girl. She has done really well spending time at Mother’s Day Out and friends houses. One thing that has resulted from this week and time away from Katherine has been that we have set a new record for nursing. On Wednesday we went over 19 hours! I nursed her at 11 before her nap. Then I took her to a friends house. Sam picked her up after work and by the time I got home after Dad’s surgery, she was already asleep. She did not wake up until 6:45am. This was the first time that she went to bed without me having nursed her within the previous hour or two.

With this decrease in nursing, I am seeing an improvement in her eating but she is still not a huge kid. I weighed her two weeks ago and she weighed 17lb, 2 oz.
