New Addition



Kennedy Hope Thomas
July 15, 2011
3lbs 13 oz - 17 inches

Do you think I will have trouble remembering Kennedy's birthdate?
It went from August 10 to the 3rd 
onto July 20th and she was born on the 15th (totally not planned)

Things happened fairly quickly
just a quick note to those who don't know
I had dealt with an increase in my blood pressure the last 3 weeks of the pregnancy
After a sonogram on Thursday (7/14) we found the placenta fluid was dangerously low
(which is very dangerous for the baby) this is in result to my higher BP
so, my doctor admitted me to the hospital to monitor the baby and scheduled to take her the next day

Here are some of the 131 pictures I have taken of Kennedy this last week
Russ holding after just a few minutes old
They now keep the baby in the room with the mother after the c-section 
Russ held her next to me and I got to see and be with her until they were finished with me
We all three went back to our room together for recovery and were alone for 30 minutes 
Thanks to Dr Hartvickson for helping get this policy changed!
Kassade and Keyton came up the first night to see her
 Does this little girl look proud to be a big sister?
 Russ wanted one child to be born with dark hair

Kennedy came home last night
She is doing very well and almost back up to her birth weight
She is perfect is every way

Thank you to all those who helped out with London at last minute notice
She had such a great time doing some new things and it made her feel special and not left out
We greatly appreciate all the love and support from friends and family

A special thank you to my wonderful - loving husband
I could not of done this without your support
