Home Safe and Sound

Everyone made it home safe and sound yesterday...what an amazing experience we have had. Kenna is absolutely wonderful and I can't believe that she is here! The time just flew by on Wednesday and then she was here!




Wednesday night was an eventful night as the storms blew through town. I did not know what a Code Black was (Natural disaster) when they started paging it over the intercom in the hospital. All of the babies had to be taken to the middle of the nursery and then they started moving everyone else's beds away from all the windows and such. We did not have any real electricity from 3:30 until 10:30 AM. Of course the generators were going but that only turned on one small light in each room and allowed the nurses call buttons to work. Quite the adventure for Kenna's first night on earth.




On Thursday morning we had to give Kenna her first manicure. Her fingernails were soooo long and she would not leave her face alone. I gave my mom the fun job of actually filing her nails down.




We all got to come home on Saturday morning and I thought she looked sweet in her 'coming home' outfit. My mom had to go get a preemie outfit - all of her newborn stuff looks huge on her!





She looked so small in her car seat!



One of her first diaper changes at home - she actually looked pretty content! She absolutely loves her hands. She doesn't usually have them in her mouth, but they are really close to her fact at all times. She gets really mad if we wrap her hands up in a blanket.




What a sweetie!!




My sister, Amy, and her family got to come visit some this weekend as well. Abbye got to go on her first road trip to visit her new cousin, Kenna. My parents were in heaven with both of their granddaughters in one place. They took tons of pictures yesterday of the girls. (Kenna is on the left and Abbye is on the right)





I am sure that you are all going to get really tired of Kenna posts, but....there will be more to come!! (Sorry for the weird spacing...I can't get it right!!)

How exciting, and she is darling! I can't get over how much bigger Abbye looks even though they are just days apart. And YOU look amazing! I hope you will venture out when you are allowed to drive and bring her up so we can all ooh and aah over her in person. XOXOXOXO

The pictures are great! You can start seeing a little more of Kenna's personality now (especially with eyes open). I'm so glad you are home now and enjoying Kenna.
