Wish us luck!!!

Kennedy will be sleeping in her very own room tonight!!!

::tear:: My baby is growing up too fast!

We will keep her in the bassinet for another few nights... although I don't know how... she is almost H2T (Head to toe) in there! YIKES!!

I (with the help of Grandma) made black-out shades for the room so it's like ours and she is good to go!

Then we will try having her in the crib later in the week.

She has an appointment with her pedi on Wed (for vaccinations) and so does her cousin Kingston (also for vaccintaitons).... looks like Thanksgiving will be *fun* this year : /

Brad picked out a cute dress for her to wear (pics to come) and we only paid $0.44 for it! It was on sale (50 or 60% off... can't remember) and it made it $10.44 and we had a $10 off cupon! AWESOME!!!

Upper GI


Kennedy had her upper GI this morning, the worst part was that she couldn't eat prior to the procedure (to make sure that she would eat/drink the barrium).


She drank it down, not a problem, and was suuuuuuuch a good baby! She kept "talking" and smiling at everyone.


I didn't sleep at all last night worrying... glad there was nothing to worry about. The radiologist(sp?) said that everything looked normal, so we will see what the specalist says Friday.

What's been going on....

WHEW! What hasn't been happening....?

WE had my grandma's services on Saturday the 7th, and we had my aunt Mary, cousins Millie and Jane, Melissa and her son Bo, Aunt Judy and Bob all in town.

Sunday Brad got ready to head to Boston for the week for training and I spent a few days at mom's house. Kennedy slept like CRAAAAAAP there, so we only spent one night there.(she slepr 12 hrs when we got home) She has been super fussy still.... better than before, but still... UGH!

I think her teeth hurt a lot! She is pulling on her ears and drooling, and chewing everything. I hope some cut through soon just to give her relief! (not excited about breastfeeding and teeth... but it comes with the territory).

I have been doing research to find a nanny/sitter to watch K when I start my student teaching in January. While I am getting excited to be the "teacher" Sharra.... the "mommy" Sharra is super sad. Leaving her will be tough!

We are looking into the Grandmas watching her as many days a week as possible. She will only need care from about 1pm-4pm(or 3:30... depending on the day) so we are hoping that not putting her in a facility/in home will be possible.

She started rolling over on the first, and that has been fun. At first she couldn't hold her head up with her arms, and got frustrated quick. She has gotten better, and now LOVES tummy time. Shocker for me... because every time I put her on her stomach she threw up (reflux) so I didn't do it often. She has mastered the back-to-tummy, but struggles and rarely does the tummy-to-back.

On the reflux note. Monday the 16th she has her Upper GI, where she drinks barium and they do an x-ray to make sure that all the plumbing works right. I hope it does, because if it doesn't.... she heads into surgery. Not excited about that possibility at all.

4 Months!










She's a rollin!

She rolled over on the 1st, after I told Val that I thought she never would! LOL!

My LC (Martha) RULES!!!

AHHH!!!

I just love her!!! I made an appointment today to see her, I was worried that I had supply issues again because Kennedy is soooo fussy, gassy and is having slimey, boogery, green poops.

I thought it may be supply.... or milk alergy..... she seems to think that it's a foremilk/hindmilk imbalance and that K is getting too much of the low-fat "skim" milk instead of enough of the creamy "whole" milk that is easier to digest.

Simple fix, don't switch sides.

Let's see if it works! : )

Halloween Fun!

Here we are dressed up for Val & Jason's party! In case you couldn't tell, we are Captian Hook, Mrs. Smee, "Peter Dan" and Tinkerbell! AWWWWW!!! HUGE thanks to my mom, for helping me make the costumes! On the 31st my dad (AKA Mrs. Doubtfire! LOL!!) and the ladies came over... kinda funny... Josie looked like one ugly man, dad made one ugly woman, and the girls looked great!

We took the baby to the pumpkin patch for some pictures! AWWWW!!!



YUP! She's cute!




And a bunch of other things.


Kennedy has been soooooooooooooooooooooooooo fussy lately! UGH! I actually DO have a reflux baby! We changed her meds on the 19th and she hasn't been the same since. Her DR called and we went back to the Regalan...another UGH.


I can't tell what the problem is.... gas?.....teething?.....attention? .... I don't know... but something has to give!
I have to go.... K is fussing : (
