New Normal

I may have been a little ambitious thinking I would have more time to post updates. Kennedy is 6 weeks old today and we are just beginning to find our new normal and get into a groove. I am feeling great, rested (for having a newborn and big kid) and almost fully healed from surgery.


So what has been happening lately??? Well, Kennedy and I came home from the hospital on Monday October 3. I was moving around really well for a few days post surgery and I was ready to get home to my big girl. Kennedy pretty much hated being strapped into a car seat and cried the whole way home. Carli was in the driveway and was ready to greet us!


First car ride

We knew that we gave Kennedy a special name but the funniest thing happened on my way out of the hospital. Once we packed everything up and loaded on the giant wheelchair, cart thing...they called for someone to escort us out to meet Nick and load up the car. A young friendly guy came and we started chatting on the way down. He asked what we named our new baby and when I replied Kennedy, he said that was his younger sister's name. We commented that it isn't very common but so pretty. I decided to ask him what her middle name was....just out of pure nosiness...I never in a million years expected him to answer "Elise". I swear, he probably thought I was re-naming my child on the spot. I yelled, "no way, that is her name!". We both laughed and he said he couldn't wait to call his mom and sister (who is 12) about the coincidence. I think it was a God Wink that we truly did pick the perfect name for her!


Once everyone was settled at home we cuddled up on the couch and both girls fell asleep. Two hours in and we have this parenting thing down!! (yeah, right!)
