Welcome Baby Kennedy!



So, many months have passed since I last blogged and A LOT has changed to say the least!

The most important change is that of the birth of our daughter, Kennedy Elizabeth. Surprisingly Chris & I got pregnant right away. I am grateful for that and reminded every day what a blessing baby Kenni is in our lives.

My pregnancy was far from perfect, but I can honestly say I enjoyed being pregnant, up until the last month or so. It was then that I had to go for weekly blood tests, NST's, and weekly office visits. My blood pressure decided to shoot up causing the doctors to get concerned.

On November 7th my blood pressure went really high, so my OB changed my blood pressure medication. On Saturday, the 8th, it continued to fluctuate and crept up really high again. So with the doctors orders to go back to the hospital, Chris and I were on our way to Ohio Valley for them to monitor me. If I remember correctly, they kept me until morning and sent me on my way home. The doctor said I just needed to give the medication some more time to "kick in." That same day it was all over the place and the medication did not seem to help. The next day, Monday the 10th, I called the OB's office and insisted they see me right away.

The rest is history!

Here are some pictures of our bouncing baby girl! We are thrilled to have Kennedy in our lives.
