Kennedy's 1 Week Birthday / First trip to Granny and Poppy's

Here is Kennedy's 1 week Birthday and her first trip to Granny and Poppy's house last weekend. Granny and Poppy are already spoiling her rotten. We also went over to Granmommy and Granddaddy after Spencers B-day party. They loved all over her and can't get enough of those cheeks. Both our parents were such a big help when we cam home from the hospital. We could not have done it without them!

Cousin Hope and Cousin Ryder Meet Kennedy

Hope and Ryder came over to meet Kennedy last week. They both were fascinated with the little baby. Hope wanted to poke the baby and Ryder wanted to pat the baby. They both have very sweet ways of showing baby KK how much they love her!

BABY KENNEDY ARRIVES

Baby Kennedy made her debut on March 25th @ 11:24pm. KK weighed 7lbs and was 20 1/2 inches long. We delivered a week past our due date. Mommy was in labor for 2 days and finally baby Kennedy decided to come out with her hand over her eyes because the light was to bright. (Aunt Kelly said she was waiting for her nails to dry that is why she was late) We did have some complications during delivery, but we are blessed that she is here now and everything turned out ok. Kennedy was given a clean bill of health and we were sent home with our new bundle of joy on Saturday 3/26. And so it begins.....

We would like to thank all our friends and family that came to visit us in the hospital and at home. We appreciate the food, presents, and help that everyone has given. We would also like to thank Aunt Ashley for decorating our house for our homecoming.

I am working on getting better about posting sooner. We are adjusting to having Kennedy in the house so I am able to catch up on things. I will try and post more often.

Daddy and Kennedy

Here is Daddy holding Kennedy for the first time. Lee is the most incredible daddy I could have ever asked for. He adores her. She knows his voice too. It seems at times that he is the only one that can calm her down. Not to mention she is ate up with his looks. She is the spitting image of him. I had to go pull out baby pictures to prove that she has any relation to me.
Since we have been home he has been my right hand man through this whole process. He helps with the poopies, feeds her and soothes her. We are having so much fun already and are finding the humor in things even when we are both dead dog tired.
Lee not only helps with KK but he does so much around the house to help me out. He took off 3 weeks from work to be here for us. I could not imagine how helpful and awesome he was going to be during these first 2 weeks. Everytime I see them together I fall more in love with him. Not to mention he is a sexy daddy. I love him so much and am so grateful for giving me this precious gift!

5 DAYS TO GO

Well, We are on the final stretch-Packed & Ready to Go. Went to the doctor Tuesday and they said I am 100% effaced and could start labor any time. This experience has been one of the best of my life, but let me tell you I am ready. I am not sure what it is going to be like not feeling her inside me everyday. I have had a great pregnancy and we are so fortunate to be at this place in our lives.

Lee and I went to the baby essentials class and have been researching what the teacher told us. So we feel we are as prepared as we can be. We do know that there will be learnings as we go, but we are up for the challenge. Lee is so excited. Everytime I call him when we are not together he says BABY? BABY? I hate to disappoint him when I say not yet. He will probability pass out when I finally say yes.

We are planning on enjoying our last weekend together just me and him. Maybe we can get the labor started a little sooner :)
We will keep you posted on the exciting events that take place this week. Please keep us in your prayers as we welcome our new blessing into the world!

KENNEDY'S ULTRASOUND

Here is our baby Kennedy. She did not want to have her picture taken this day. The ultrasound tech told me she was mad. That the ultrasound waves were making her uncomfortable. Some of the pics have the smeared look and that is from her movement while the pictures are getting taken. We are excited about the pictures we got and think she is very photogenic. As far as an update, right now we are 33 weeks and growing fast. The tech and the doctor both told me this week, that I am measuring about 1 1/2 week ahead. So she is going to be a healthy chunky baby when born. Her kicks are becoming much bigger and scheduled. We can't wait to meet our baby girl. We have a baby shower next week and are looking forward to seeing all our friends and family. Maybe Kennedy will show off and do a couple kicks for everyone!

KENNEDY TAYLOR'S NURSERY

Here is Kennedy's Nursery. It is coming along very nicely. We still need to add something to the walls, but the majority is done. Daddy did a great job with the chair rail (with help from uncle Andrew) and mommy helped with the satin pink lines on the walls. Grandaddy helped hang the baby chandelier which adds a nice little sassy touch! The room is all ready for our little princess.

We were not able to go do the 3D/4D ultra sound today. The place called and cancelled due to the weather. We were looking foward to seeing our little KK. Hopefully we will be able to see her next week!
