Sweet Baby Kate

The first of the cousins (on Tony's side) has arrived! Kathryn Jeanmarie was born 8 days ahead of schedule, on March 3rd. We were so excited to finally be able to meet that darling girl! She'll be followed by baby Owen next month, and The Bun in August. Here she is just a few hours after being born:

We didn't get to see her eyes at all that day - she was obviously exhausted from making her entrance into the world. Luckily, we got to visit her and her (tired!) parents today when they had settled in at home. They've set up the sunniest nursery for her! I think the wall art turned out so well.

And we were lucky enough to get a shot or two with her eyes open! Love her. Love the pink and orange ensemble, love that teeny baby face. Isn't it crazy how much they can change in just a couple of days? I remember that with baby Leighton too. It makes ya glad to live near them, so that they don't go changing too much between visits!

Here's a shot of her with her proud aunt and uncle. Sad that we didn't take a single picture of her with her rightful parents tonight! They hardly got to hold her while we were at their house (sorry T & J!) so we'll have to get one next time.

So much fun to see them tonight. Thanks for allowing us to stop over, you guys!

Not that there's been much change this week, but here's Kate's cousin tonight after we made it home (17w2d)
