I had my 6 week checkup at my doctor's office this morning, and everyone there was so excited to see Kennedy. Some of them told me that they were checking for my name because they knew I was due to come in for my check up soon. Everything went well at the appointment and we talked about birth control and what my options were. I am still pumping the milk that I am able to make, so I was limited to what kind of pills I could take. He also talked to me about another birth control called an IUC. I took the informational pamphlet with me to talk to Larry about it. I think I am interested in the IUC, but we have to read up on it a little more and see if our insurance covers it. For right now, Dr. Kathari gave me a prescription for a pill...and told me that it is only 95% accurate. So I would still have a 1 in 20 chance to get pregnant again. I am not ready to have another baby yet...I want to wait at least another year.
Before my doctor left the room, he said that he wanted to commend me for the strength that I have shown throughout the pregnancy and he would remember me forever because of it. He added that there were not too many people who could have handled the news they way we did, and we really touched his heart. Listening to him really made me realize how much I have grown as a person. You see, eight years ago he was my OBGYN and delivered Kaylee for me. I remember sitting in his office as a young 20 year old single parent and being so confused about life. He never once judged me during my pregnancy, and I knew he wished me the best in life once she was born. To look back on where I was in my life then, to where I am now makes me feel really proud of not only myself...but my two children. God has given me two amazing daughters, and one incredible husband to live for.
My friend Kelley and her son Tyler came over to visit. I haven't seen her in years! Tyler was born premature and had to be flown to the NICU in DC just like Kennedy. He had a different disorder, but we were able to relate to each other so well because our babies were in the same place. Tyler was in the NICU a few months ago, and wow...he is huge now! Seeing him made me excited to know that one day Kennedy will grow to be that big! We talked about how much she loves her Pediatrician, and I am going to have her records sent there. Both of her children really like him, and she said that he is a very intelligent man that isn't intimidated by premature babies. THAT IS WHAT I NEED!
Kaylee got her hair cut tonight, or maybe I should say she got it chopped off! We showed the lady a picture but she was way too scissor happy and chopped all her hair off. I did not cry, but boy did I want to. I do not like her hair, and this is the first bad hair cut that Kaylee has ever gotten...so it is hard for me to cope with...lol. I have not told her that I don't like it because I do not want to hurt her feelings and I know that I will get used to it. We are calling it a Pixie hair cut and that it is a grown up hair-do because she is a grown up big girl. In about 2 or 3 months, it should be the length we wanted and then we can play with her hair with the style we originally wanted it! She says that she was scared that she looked like a boy at first, but now she really likes it. So if she likes it, I am happy! It is just hair, and it will grow back. :)
