End of Week 3

"Pondering."

We have reached the end of our third week as parents. Carrie's mom left a week ago, we survived a week on our own, and John's mom arrived yesterday for the two week Grandma second shift. Cassie is noticeably more alert now, and is awake 7-8 hours a day. It seems like her vision is starting to come in, as she spends a lot of time looking around...this picture is typical of her during the day. She continues to be a pooping machine, pooping about 10-15% of her body weight each day. If she were a 150 lb adult woman, that would be like 20 pounds of poop a day. Gas pains will occasionally wake her up from a nap, but that's pretty much it. She slept soundly through the traditional July 4th fireworks extravangaza in the Campbell area.

Hi, John & Carrie:

Cassandra is really cute and pretty.

You have to feed her when she woke up at night because she is hungry. Wrap her tight, so she feel more like still in the mom's womb. Uncle JJ said that she may have gas, if you wrap her tight it will make her feel more comfortable.

Good luck!

Thanks for sharing.
Uncle Jhy-Jiun and Chuen-Huei
