Our week of firsts...

Here is Aaron on day two of his paternity leave...funny I seem to remember that this was also how he spent his first day of paternity leave.

Well mom and dad Redmond left us this morning for a visit with the Coakley's in Florida They have been such a big help and next week will certainly present a challenge as it will be Aaron's first full week back to teaching and my first week alone with Kendall.

We've had a lot of firsts this week...

On Tuesday we had our first pediatrician appointment to check Kendall for jaundice. Aaron and I both took her together. They weighed her at 7 lbs. 1 oz and her bilirubin score was a bit high (11.4), so we made an appointment to have it checked again on Friday just as a precaution. When I went back on Friday her weight was up to 7 lbs. 8 oz and her bilirubin score had dropped to 8. So good news all around.

Here is Gma Rose with Kendall right before her first pediatrician's appointment. She made the cute little jackets for her.

On Thursday morning a had a lactation consultant come to the house to make sure that we were breastfeeding correctly and show me how to use the breast pump. Gma, Gpa, and I also took Kendall to Aiken for a little day trip. We had lunch down town and visited a Museum and park. It was nice to get out of the house and Kendall did great on her first longer car ride.

Friday we all went to the RiverBanks Zoo. It was the last free Friday promotion, so it didn't even cost a thing. We finished up just as it started to sprinkle. Kendall slept through the entire visit. She had a nice present waiting for us in her pants when we got home...we took pictures for Daddy's sake, but will spare ya'll the joy.

Check out Gma/Gpa's blog for pictures.

Today it rained all day, so we just hung out around the house and watched some Netflix.

Look at these cute little cheeks!
