Sleepytime

By the Thursday of the week she was born, Kataraina still hadn't woken up. She had sighed appreciatively upon having her first bath, but she had not opened her eyes to see the many family members visiting her with open arms, nor had she cried for a feed. At this point, she was so sleepy that even the nurses at the private birth-care facility found it difficult to get her to take a bottle.

She was still cute, though, and we were all still visiting all day, every day, each hoping we might be the one holding her when she finally wakes up to meet us!
