So, I didn't get on the computer last night before bed but, Kennedy had a couple of firsts yesterday. Thursday night she spent her first night sleeping at home. She did fine however, Mommy had a bit of a breakdown when it was time to put her down for the night and go to sleep herself. For some reason I just thought that the room next to mine with a monitor right by her was still to far away from me. After some convincing from Tom, I let her stay there and she was fine after all, I just cried myself to sleep and got over it. When we got up we had a typical morning and then it was off to her first doctor's appointment. Her pediatrician thought that Friday may be a little too early for an appointment but didn't want to wait all the way through the weekend. It ended up being okay because we did have a few questions. I didn't think she was peeing enough so she gave us some advice and even followed up in the evening by calling us at home to make sure everything was okay. We were very impressed with her.




When we were at the doctor's office, we of course had to take all her clothes and her diaper off of her and when the diaper came off Daddy found a nice surprise. She had a major bowel movement and made a mess of herself. We cleaned her up with wipes as much as we could but when we got home I decided she needed a little sponge bath.

She ended up not being a big fan, actually. I should have known; she really doesn't like being naked. I did a pretty good job of getting it done quick for her but we have some practice to do. It will be nicer when the cord falls off and she is able to be in a bath. I think that she will like it better when she can soak in a little bit of warm water instead of having it just poured over her. :)

After her bath she was so soft and cuddly and oh so tired. We tried to play a little on the floor but she really didn't want anything to do with that. She ended up just cuddling with her Grandpa until she went to bed.
