Kennedy's 1st Checkup

All bundled up in her bouncer.

Today we went to have Kennedy's bilirubin checked and to visit with the lactation nurse. Kennedy did really well having her blood drawn for the bilirubin and Addison was there to calm her down too. It was so cute, Addison was telling the lab person, "no hurt" because she was worried she was going to hurt Kennedy. The bilirubin came back just fine, so no photo therapy for this little girl! Yay! After all the heel sticks we went through with Addison, we are thrilled Kennedy won't have to go through it. Kennedy weighed in at 7lbs 10oz, so she has lost just over 7% of her weight since birth, but nothing to be concerned about. She is breastfeeding really well and should only gain weight from here.

Addison has been really well with Kennedy, she is always wanting to hold her and when she cries Addison tells her "it's okay Kennedy". Addison is also sharing very well with Kennedy, she likes to take her stuffed animals and pile them on Kennedy. It's cute, we just go over there and take them off, or put them just at her feet. Addison did well (for the most part) when we took Kennedy to her checkup. She was playing with the baby doll they had in the room and after the nurse weighed Kennedy, Addison put the doll on the scale. The room was a bit small and Addison was being busy, so Brian took Addison out to play with the toys in the waiting area while we finished up with the nurse. On another note, Addison got a princess tea party set (a gift from us that we told her was from Kennedy) and she is loving it! She wants to have tea parties all of the time. It is really cute, Brian plays tea party with her and they pretend to drink tea and eat toast and cookies!
