Well, it is now just the three of us. All the grandparents have gone. So far we have been able to survive. The first night on our own went very well. Taking shifts allowed each of us to get a solid four hour chunk of sleep along with some cat naps. However, the past two nights have been a bit more difficult. Caitlin has been a bit more fussy during the night, and we have been a bit more paranoid. With that said, I think we have a schedule that will work for Kim and I, if only it will work for Caitlin. We are not sure exactly what the fussiness is about. We are thinking gas, but are not too sure.
During the day Caitlin is doing quite well. She eats regularly, every multiple of three on the clock. She is participating in some tummy time and has been able to turn her head a few times. She enjoys her play gym and swing even though she can only handle a few minutes before she gets overwhelmed and begins to fuss. She had her first bath and went for a couple of walks in our neighborhood.

Thanks for the update and the pictures. I can't believe how much hair she has. She's a cutie!
I guess being on your own has its advantages, although the grandparent nightshifts probably helped the parents get a few mores zzzz's. You have obviously succeeded very well, since Caitlin is growing rapidly and looks very content. It's just a matter of time before everyone reaches their comfort level, as long as you know that Caitlin is actually in charge, but maybe we shouldn't share that information with her parents. Undoubtedly, she is the MOST beautiful baby ever!
