Kennedy

Today we went for Kennedy's one week (ok 9 day) check up. She went from 8lbs 10oz at birth to 8lbs 2oz when we left the hospital last Thursday to 8lbs 14 oz today! She more than gained back to her birth weight. Needless to say, Kennedy is a great nurser-which is great considering Mommy has enough milk to feed all of Simi Valley!

Kennedy still looks perfect....did I mention she scored 9 for both Apgars at birth? Dr Pattan used to brag on how strong Madison was (she was lifting her head by day 3). Now she can't get over Kennedy. She started lifting her head off our shoulders in the hospital on day one! She still doesn't have much head control so she ends up slamming her head back onto the other shoulder or chest of the person holding her. None the less, she does not like to keep her head down.

She is growing like a weed too! She wore a preemie outfit home from the hospital and one of Madison's old preemie onsies for a day. Not only are those too small, but some of her newborn size onsies are too small now, too! Dr Pattan said the newborn diapers look like they won't fit much longer, but we put a size one on her today and she swims in it. None the less, we'll be exchanging a lot of the newborn diapers Mommy stocked up on! Speaking of diapers, this little lady is no stranger to filling them! She had 7 poopy diapers today alone!!

She still has dark hair, and the jury is out on where it came from and whether or not she will loose it.

She's a great sleeper...during the day. Nights have been hit and miss. She sleeps about 3 hours at a time at night for the most part and 2 hours at a time during the day. Although, we've had a few nights where she needs to nurse every hour or so. Lots of pics sleeping thus far. We're trying to get more shots of those pretty deep blue eyes!

Back to the doctor in 2 weeks....Madison has her 2 year check up (FINALLY) then, too.
