May 20, 2008 6 pounds 4 ounces

Kennedy had her doctor's appointment this morning, and she weighed in at 6 lb 4 oz!!! Wow, that is almost a whole pound in two weeks! I had the same doctor again this morning, and I really don't think she is the one I want to stick with. She is nice, but I really think I need someone a little more specialized. She seems a little loopy if you get what I mean, and I need someone who knows what they are talking about. Like, for example, she walks into the room and says "well I see she has gained a little bit, but she's not what she was when she was born yet, but she'll catch up." I looked at her and said, uh...yea of course she isn't weighing in what she was when she was born because she had a 2 1/2 pound tumor on her. She tried to cover her tracks, but it was too late. I had to wait forever once I got there on both occasions, and she is too busy typing on her new laptop in the room instead of talking to me. Apparently it is a new program and she said that she is still trying to figure it out. The appointment today made me feel very uneasy, and she even asked me if I was okay. I was much better once we got out of there.

By the time we got out of the doctor's office, it was almost noon and she was due to eat. We went home so I could pump and she could eat before we went to Jefferson High School for a baby shower that the Science department had thrown for me. Initially, I was going to stop by Larry's work to show Kennedy to his co-workers...but we were at her appointment longer than anticipated. So I fed her at home, packed up the Jeep, and headed to JHS.

I surprised my students from 6th and 7th periods by showing up with the baby. Everyone was pretty excited to see us, and a few of them were half scared to come over and look at her. They wanted to know when I was coming back, and I felt really bad for not being there with them. I want to go back to work so bad...but I just can't leave Kennedy with a daycare center. I told them to talk the principal into letting me bring her, and I would be back tomorrow! lol.

The baby shower was a handful of my friends from school that got together to celebrate Kennedy with me. It was so nice to be able to hang out and laugh with all of them...I really do miss all of them. Suzanne even made Kennedy a blanket and little booty's to match!! The food was just as good as the company that joined me for the shower. Very fun!


Once I got home, Larry and Kaylee were starving...but we desperately need to go grocery shopping. Ever since the freezer accidentally thawed out, we have been eating what was left in our pantry. Well, that is running low and we need to make a big $$ trip to Wal-Mart to restock. I guess we will do that tomorrow, but tonight we ordered chinese instead and watched American Idol over dinner. GO DAVID COOK!
