Life

The last 12 days off have been so wonderful! I really feel like Kennedy and I have bonded. Although we've always been close, when you spend every minute with someone for almost two weeks, you're bound to grow closer :) She was extra cuddly yesterday, wanting to hold my hand and telling me often, "I love you Mommy." What is better than that?! A part of me feels bad for having to return to work. Being home has been really great, but I have to work part time for now. Maybe someday I'll be able to stay home and tend to the kiddo(s) <--- wishful thinking?!

Unfortunately, last night/early this morning was a bit frustrating. Kennedy woke up at 11:30pm saying she was scared. I cuddled with her for a bit and then Jon put her back to bed. There were about four more incidents after that. Kennedy was WIDE AWAKE! After cuddling the first two times, I decided that she needed to go to bed. Twice more I had to direct her back to bed. She was sad and at one point, just laid in bed talking to herself. She finally fell asleep around 2am and woke up at 6:30am! Yikes. I am tired and apparently, so is she. Hopefully tonight will be better. Kennedy has been a great sleeper from three months on, never waking up in the middle of the night. I hope that never happens again. Also wishful thinking, right??
