Kennedy has been very busy lately. Yesterday after lots of shopping with Mommie, Kennedy had bathtime in her new bathtime. I really struggle with bathtime and I am hoping it will be easier when she can support her own head. Click here to see the latest bathtime pictures.
Today was Aunt Mere Mere’s birthday. We were supposed to meet her and Jay downtown for a birthday lunch. Jay was busy getting a 403 in Lexington, so Kennedy and I met Dori and Meredeth at the Gourmet Shop. Click here to see pictures of Meredeth’s birthday. (Kennedy wore her party outfit for Mere Mere)
Tonight, Kennedy and I met Grammy and Papa Lovett at Copper River for dinner. Papa Lovett hadn’t seen her in a while so he liked seeing how big she is getting (although he said he is ready for her to walk and talk). Jay was able to make it to Copper River when he was finished with Lexington. Click here to see pictures of Kennedy with Papa Lovett and Grammy.
Overall, we have been super busy and having a blast. Kennedy becomes more aware everyday and we are having so much fun. She has been wearing some really cute outfits lately. She is such a well dressed baby! Sleeping lately hasn’t been great. Either she sleeps like 5 hours in the swing or is up every few hours in the pack n play. Today she rolled over in the pack n play all by herself. She is growing up so quickly!
I am married to a lawyer. Kennedy, Miss Dottie, Dr. B, Meredeth, and I all were at the Koger Center today to watch as Jay took his oath and was sworn in. He is officially a lawyer. Kennedy looked beautiful wearing a nice pink dress that Miss Dottie bought her, cute knit booties, and a beautiful headband. She looked like a china doll. Jay really had fun showing her off to all his friends. She was a great baby and slept through the whole swearing in. I was so worried that she was going to mess up her outfit that I packed several extra onesies, an extra dress, and several burp cloths. I didn’t however plan on the mess that Mommie would make during the swearing in. My boobs were out of control today and I must say it was so EMBARRASSING. First I took her to nurse before the swearing in and I leaked all down my dress. While nursing her I soaked through the pad and leaked all over my dress. I was so embarrassed but I was easily able to hide it. During the ceremony, Kennedy slept… other babies however were whining and crying. I was leaking like a faucet and soaked completely through both pads. I used her to cover myself up along with her blanket. No one was able to tell that anything was wrong until Dr. B decided he needed some cuddle time (I mean who can resist this cute baby.) Jay immediatly saw my problem and I tried to use my hands to cover my now soaked dress. Finall
y after several pictures we were able to walk to the car. I replaced my pads with new pads and wiped myself down with one of the burp cloths. I then turned up the air in the car and tried to dry myself off on the way to California Dreaming. I had myself pretty clean with just a few stains by the time we got to the restaurant. We all sat down and enjoyed a yummy dinner with the family. Kennedy then decided she wanted some lunch so she started crying. Again my boobs turned on like a faucet and I releaked through my new pads and wet my dress again. I went ahead to the bathroom and fed her and used her to cover up my HUGE wet stains. I was so thankful when it was time to go home so no one else could see my stains. By the time we got home I fed my girl and we were cuddling on the couch. Needless to say I leaked AGAIN. This time all over her and the couch. I thought I had these suckers under control, but I guess not. I am so thankful that I have the ability to nurse and that I enjoy it so much, but really is all this milk necessary? Finally I fed her again and then busted out the breast pump. Lets just say that over 7 ounces later I finally quit leaking. Why do they choose today to leak like crazy? I must admit that I am a fan of breast feeding and I am so thankful that Kennedy learned how to do it so quickly. I don’t even want to think about the possiblity of adding in bottles. I love being the only one able to feed Kennedy and knowing that the milk she is getting is so healthy for her. She is such a sweet baby and I am so happy that she was able to see her daddy get sworn into the bar today.
