Someone who supported me, now needs our help. Jewelyn.
She went into labor with her first daughter after struggling through a miscarriage, and needed an emergency C-section.
She developed an amniotic fluid embolism and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). She lost all brain activity and her husband (Phil) will be removing her from life support later today(from what I understand).
Her daughter (Gabrielle) is doing OK (again, what I heard) and is at the UCLA medical center.
We have set up a PayPal account through another friend (Irma) to get Phil and Gabrielle some extra money so he can take time off to stay with the baby and grieve.
The email address is 4jewelyn@gmail.com if you go to http://www.paypal.com/ and click Send Money.
Any amount is appreciated as well as your prayers and good thoughts!
Edit; Jwelyn passed away at 11:30 (more than likely after this post was made) he husband updated us this morning.
Here is a link to Amy's blog with her maternity photo. http://elmwoodcourt.blogspot.com/2009/09/for-gabby.html

Another fun weekend!
Here is Kennedy with her Great Grandma Leary (Look at those smiles!!)
Now here she is with her Daddy!!! AWWWW!
And here with Grandma Bayer!!! : )Friday we had LOTS of visitors!!! Amanda and Karen came over and brought In-N-Out (YUUUUM!!) then Mareena cam over and told me all about her honeymoon in New York!! : )
Later Michelle came over, with Alex and Dan, we BBQed it up! Brad was home before 10! That was nice too!!!
We were in the spa till 3am... (I was tired!)
Saturday was spent in the pool. My guess the last time this year, tomorrow is the first day of Fall.
Sunday we went to Brad's Grandmas and had Vince's Spaghetti! Jason and Val were there, I'm sure she was excited, I was, she is being induced today to have her second son!

Glad that's over.... whew!
The weekend that is! LOL!!
Mom came over Friday and we worked around the house, because Saturday we invited the neighbors over (about 50) for a pool party, the only ones who came were the neighbors directly across/next to us, not a real shocker.
Then on Sunday we went wine tasting, YUM! It was all adults (even though we didn't always act like it LOL!) and noooooo kids : ) (Grandma came over and watched Kennedy, they had fun!)
Afterwards we went in the pool, prob the last time for the summer. We couldn't have asked for better weather for a day in the pool, then wine tasting, then the pool again.
Monday (Brad took off) and the weather was all changed, but it was a great Fall day.
Kennedy would have to disagree... she got her first round of shots : (
We only gave her two, and I am glad that I stuck to that decision. She slept ALL DAY... she wasn't having anything other than feeding, cuddles, and sleep. I can't imagine giving her MORE than that....
She has to go back in 2 weeks, and then the next week have an "upper GI" done where they look at her reflux... they know she has it... why do it??... I donno....

Labor Day Weekend!
We did WAY too much!
Saturday Brad and I went swimming and then to Costco, Albertsons, and Staters! WHEW~! (Gotta get them sales! LOL!)
Juan and Angel cam over that night and we just visited.
Sunday Dad, Josie, the girls, Albert and Teresa and Dan came over, in the pool we went! We BBQed ribs (YUM!) Guests left around 11pm and we went to bed.
Monday mom came over and we BBQed steaks (another YUM!).
All the cooking, cleaning, washing, bleh.... took it out of us.
Kennedy didn't appreciate it much either... she was sleeping from 1-2am till 8:30 and that became 7:30 on Sat, 6:30 on Sun, and 5am on Monday....bleh!!
I think she needs to be fed more often than 7 times a day, and that's what happens when mom is busy entertaining guests.
So Tuesday I tried to feed her more, but still this morning she woke up @ 6:30, gonna give it another shot today! Concentrate on feeding her ALL DAY and making sure that she eats last thing before bed.
I am also keeping track of her naps, it's tough to know how much she has slept from day to day, and like any other baby, she gets CRANKY when tired, but if I don't remember when that last nap was, I try feeding, burping, ect. instead of making her take a nap.
It's all trial and error at this point!

8 Weeks!
Here are some pictures of Kennedy haveing some ne'ked time! LOL!! She seemed to like it! : )We had a rough night/morning where she fussed all the time and then didn't sleep... then this afternoon, she slept just great and hardly said a word....er... well.. you know! LOL!!
She has another GI specailit appt on Friday. Of course it's again in Fontana and @ 3:30!.... oh!... yeah!... on a holliday weekend! BLEH!
I think that we will visit her Auntie Val and have lunch and hang out, then fight the traffic home. I'd rather be home than anywhere else, everything is here! All K's stuff and I feel the most comfortable.
I remember about a year ago watching Brad and Vanessa's kids while they went wine tasting, and I thought "how does ANYONE do this?!?!" but it was because they weren't my kids and I didn't have any of their stuff, K has showed me that it's all about the stuff! LOL!!
