Kennedy's first rough night and first mail...

Last night was a little rough. She had been up a lot yesterday and actually fed a lot too. When it was time for her last feeding last night she pretty much did not feel good when it was time to go to sleep. She must have had gas bubbles because she was screaming for about an hour and a half. It was just breaking Tom and my hearts because we could not figure out how to make her better. We finally remembered that Jenny and Roman had given us gas medicine and after looking it up online I gave her a little bit and then nursed her for a minute and let her rock and burp and fall asleep again... And then ever so gently swaddled her in her wedge sleeper mat and she calmed down and settled off to sleep. I still slept in the room with her so that I could be there if she got fussy or didn't feel good again, but she was fine the rest of the night. She nursed around 4:15 and again at 7:15 and has been a good baby all day today.

We forgot to check the mail yesterday because when the mail lady came she delivered a package to Tom and me. It was from Ruthie and Jim and Ruthie made Kennedy a beautiful crocheted blanket. I haven't taken a picture of it but it is adorable. It along with all of our other gifts have been addressed to Tom or me or both. Well this time, she got her first mail addressed to her!!


Her first package, sent to her from her Uncle Drew.

She got her first tractor shirt! And she loves it... Thanks, Uncle Drew!

Tom and Dad putting in the new dishwasher. Our old one went out on us last week. Smoke coming out of it and all. We got a real good deal on it at Home Depot, floor model and Tom's military discount and we saved $160! We also got a new garbage disposal because that went out 2 days before the dishwasher...
