Kathryn had a first... that literally made me jump out of bed. It was early in the week, like Tuesday maybe?? (Yes, I know I should have written it down... but I didn't). I think Eric asked me to roll over and look at the clock (it is too far away for him to read without his glasses). I said it was 5:30... and then I jumped straight out of bed. Kathryn had been sleeping since about 10 the night before. I freaked. Panic sat in. She didn't wake up... or did she and I just didn't hear it?!?! I jump the three feet to where she is sleeping and place my hand on her chest to make sure she is still breathing. Whew! I'm not sure if he did, but I'm sure he wanted to laugh at me. He said she had been making her normal grunting/cooing noises for about thirty minutes and she was wiggling when he had gotten up a little while before. Yay! Her first time sleeping through the night... and she hasn't done it since. We are down to once a night getting up... usually around either 2 or 4. Now if I can just learn to go to sleep when she does.
Sunday we also dedicated Kathryn. I was glad we were able to squeeze it in before we left. I'm not sure if Eric & I even discussed it, but I know I wanted her dedicated before we left our current church. This church family has been praying for her and for us to be blessed with her for a while and I felt this is the place it needed to be done. I felt blessed in having friends of ours dedicate their child also even though it was a surprise. Eric's family was able to come up on short notice to share in the event.
I believe that was the only happenings of last week... let me know if told anyone anything else that may have slipped my mind.
This week is looking pretty busy. Kathryn & I walked the moving company around the house today so they could get a rough box count and go over the packing/moving procedure with us. Our small group bible study is meeting at our house on Wednesday. We (Kathryn & I) are meeting some friends for lunch one day this week. Eric & I have to finalize what we are taking with us verses letting the movers take before Monday. I am going scrapbooking Thursday night. Sunday our friends from church are having a farewell cookout. And shhhh... don't tell... but Eric has a birthday on Sunday!!! Oh and Happy 1st Anniversary to Randy & Sarah next Monday... hopefully they will celebrate with a Georgia Southern victory over 'dem dawgs!!
Anyone else got something to add to my week!!??!?!?

Woohoo for sleeping through the night! And that's great that you guys were able to have a dedication for her before you left your current church. :)
Be sure to send us your new address - I've got something that I need to send along for Kathryn as soon as I finish it (which should hopefully be within a week). Is Monday moving day?
they pack on Tuesday, load on Wednesday, we drive Thursday, and close on Friday. I'm going to need a lot of coffee :)
