First scare

So I called Jenny at 3:30, just as school is ending, and she tells me she's going to the doctor's office with the baby. She's was a little freaked. Here's the story:

Apparently Catherine has slept ALL day (and in fact slept all night, too. She was only up when Jenny woke her to feed).

This actually seemed like a good thing (baby sleeping means less baby crying), but when the public health nurse called for a random check up, and Jenny mentioned all the sleeping, the nurse said "that's abnormal, you should get it checked out."

So when I called, Jenny was on her way to the doctor with little Catie slumbering away in the back seat. And I went to meet them at the doctor's office.

When I got there and stepped out of the elevator, what do I hear? I wailing Woods baby. I round the corner and Jenny is just leaving the office, and apparently everything is A-OK with our daughter.

The long and short is that it's totally OK for babies to sleep all day as long as they waken and get pissed off at the things they should get pissed off at - i.e. being bathed, being changed, being jostled about.

And today, Catie did cry at all of these things. It was just that she slept so much more than normal.

Anyway, crisis averted. And I hope this sleepy spell continues.
