On Her Own and Visits From Family

Hey there everyone.  Another week is in the books.  Rachel spent her first week home alone with Kennedy.  Up until now, she's either had Jason or Whitney with her to help in the daytime.  Everything went pretty smoothly.  Two times this week, Kennedy has gone a full six hours between feedings.  This is good news to Mom and Dad, especially for Mom.  We also had a couple of nights where she'd wake up, but just wouldn't go back to sleep after nursing.  She seems to get so tired that she just works herself up and can't sleep.  When this happens, she only seems to want her Mamma.  We think that she's growing.  On Sunday, she wore one of her 0-3 month outfits for the first time.  She has also worn one of her newborn outfits for the last time.  We weighed her and she is now 9 pounds, 7 ounces.

On Friday, Tyler and Lynsey came to town to meet Kennedy for the first time.  They drove a whopping 10 hours from Nebraska.  As always, we had a nice time getting to visit with them.  Kennedy even let us got our for dinner on Friday and and Saturday evening.  We think that Lynsey also enjoyed getting to see Sammy.  He hissed at her a time or two, but he must have enjoyed it because he kept hanging around her.  They left pretty early on Sunday morning because they had a long drive ahead of them.

On Sunday afternoon, Roger and Barb came by the house for a couple of hours to visit.  This was also their first time to see Kennedy. It sure was nice getting to see so much family this week.

Oh and since we've been spending so much time around the house, we've grown pretty tired of watching TV. We've started to read more.  Rachel has started a new series called the Hunger Games.  She has already completed the first book and is working on the second.  Her friend Courtney loaned them to her.  Jason picked up a copy of Mike Leach's autobiography.  It's pretty fitting with the football season quickly approaching.
