Four Months!

Our precious baby Kennedy turns 4 months old today! I don't know where the time has gone.

I absolutely adore her. Kennedy is doing so well. She is easy-going, happy, a good eater, playful, and content. She has been a relatively 'easy' baby which is exactly what I needed. We can take her just about anywhere. She also has a very special love for Nathan; I love to watch her watching her daddy! Her eyes follow him everywhere with great delight. Her new thing now too is screeching. It's a happy screech and can get quiet loud at times. She also loves to laugh. I tickle under her armpits or behind her neck and she laughs outloud which is so fun and cute!

Keegan is adjusting pretty well. He loves to be a big brother and I often find him reading books to her or putting toys in her lap. He gets really excited if she smiles at him. He also protects her when they're at the YMCA and so forth. I hear him telling kids not to touch her when she's in her carseat. What a good brother!

We go for her 4 month checkup tomorrow and will get her stats then. I bet she's around 12 lbs now if I had to guess. I think we'll start her on some rice cereal too very soon. I'm also hoping she'll be sleeping through the night soon; she still gets up once a night for a feeding.

So, happy 4 months, Kennedy! Here are some pictures I took of her this week.

At the hospital - LIVE UPDATES

Hello, blog readers! I am blogging live from the hospital with Nathan as my guest blogger. If anyone is awake out there, you can feel free to check out my blog for updates throughout my hospital visit. I was having contractions at home so we were sent to the hospital around 10pm for observation. I was dilated to 3cm when I arrived. They made me walk two 40-minute rounds which felt like a marathon for me. I didn't have any shoes on and got to wear a super cute hospital gown though. Essentially, I'm here for false labor. But, they are afraid to send me home because of how quickly I go into labor so I'm staying to be induced. ---- This is Nathan - it's 2:11 AM. Amber just got her epidural. She's at 4 cm. Her blood pressure just dropped to 80 / 43 and we had a bit of a scare. She thought she was going to pass out and had some nausea. Feeling better now. 2:35 AM. 2:55am Working to start Pitocin (drug to speed up contractions) because the ba...

I'm turning the tables today! This blog is a chance for YOU to be the writer.... and me the reader. I often wonder who is reading my blog. Are you a friend ? A lurker ? A crazed stalker ? I'd love to see who all reads my blog.... even if you're not a regular. So, whoooo's out there?? Here's your chance to leave a comment. It doesn't even have to be a full sentence. A mere, "I'm out here!" will do. Or, feel free to be creative-- just pretend you're signing my yearbook or something. I'll feel really lame if only 2 people are out there so please, everyone, respond! If you don't have a google account, you can still leave a comment. Click on "comments".

Kennedy's Corner: The BIG FIVE

Image
Happy birthday, Kennedy!!!!      To our sweet & fun girl! She's 5 today!  She LOVES to dress up whether it's jewelry, fancy clothing, or princess stuff.   Here's her latest-- a pink fur coat and sequins skirt.   Classy! She's nurturing.  She loves playing "mommy" to her baby dolls and caring for other people.  She loves to sing ( and I mean constantly ).   She is thoughtful and compassionate and loves to pray for others.  She can be headstrong and difficult too (just like her mother) but we're working together on that!    She goes to Pre-K 5 mornings a week and loves her teacher and school.   Her favorite foods are cheese quesadillas, pepperoni, and Ritz crackers.   Her favorite show is Curious George.   She's also obsessed with dogs whether it's pretending to be one, begging us to buy one, playing with a toy one, or asking every stranger in the city if she can pet th...
