Ok, the death march has stared. Thursday night we got about 1/2 hour sleep total, Friday was better, two hours tops...but last night was good. We got about 4 hours each. Not straight through, hour here, hour there. But we have great news, SHES EATING! ALOT! Nat latched on great with the help from Tia Cristy, and she fed for over 1 1/2 yesterday straight. Most she ever ate was maybe 15 minutes. But then she ate through the whole night. Have to get her schedule to where she eats during the day, and sleeps at night. But for now, we are just happy shes eating.
Val is doing great. Her belly is going down pretty quickly. Lilly has been a god send all week, taking care of us while we care for Natalie. We can not say thank you enough.
Tia Cristy and Tio Carlos came up for the weekend for a visit also, along with Danny and Saddy.
Well, cant be too creative and fun with the writing, too tired. But heres some more great pics!
Thank you also for everyone that keeps sending flowers after flowers after flowers! WOW!

How much cuter can our new granddaughter get! But then, look at her parents! Can't help but be cute. Glad to hear that she's finally starting an eating schedule, the sleeping schedule will come along soon too, be patient. Can't wait to get down there and see her in person, and to see skinny Mom too! (And proud Dad too!) We love you all...Gram & Gramp Daubert

So I'm trying to figure out what all the hub bub is with you two not getting any sleep...Nat seems to be SOUND ASLEEP in all the pictures you posted! Where are those gorgeous peepers of hers? Or do those only come out when it's feeding time? hee hee!
Thanks for sharing this special time with the rest of us who can't be there. We love the pics and updates. And what a great keepsake to have when Kate is older. I'm sure the both of you are doing a great job at parenthood and are loving having all the family help right now.
If you have any problems with the local paparazzi trying to get pics of the latest Daubert princess, let her Chicago Godfather know and he'll take care of it for you! We're well known for getting the job done right.
All our love to both of you and a big long-distance hug to Nat!

P.S. I'm guessing that lil brother Mikey still doesn't have a tan this summer? Just wait until Mom gets down there and starts comparing her tan to yours....
