We came home thursday from the hospital and its been well rather interesting. Im getting spinal headaches daily, their not bad though. I mean they could be WAYYYYYYY worse. I get one once a day and depending on when I start to treat it, it generally lasts a couple hours. And where I got my epi Im having back problems. Like when I get the spinal headache if I try and stand at certain times I cant straighten my back completely cuz it hurts so bad..I will never again get an epi. I didnt want it to begin with and struggled with getting it and now Im left with this crap. Oh well.
The Chunk is amazing!! She started off bfing like a friggin champ the LC in the hospital actually said she was the "poster child" for bfing..then she went for her hearing test before we left..and they gave her a bink!
She was ok but then all she wanted to do was suck. So I made the mistake of giving her the bink whenever she wasnt hungry, and the day we came home from the hospital she completely would not latch all day long. She went from noon to 7pm without eating, and she really didnt even care that she didnt eat. Finally I pumped and gave her a bottle. I was really upset, I figured bfing was gone. That I was just gonna be pumping and her getting bottles. I did that all night long thursday night every 2 hours pump and give her a bottle. Friday I had my LC come over and help and OMG shes back on track!!
The girl is such a fast learner. She hasnt had a bottle since friday morning at 6am and she hasnt had the bink back since friday morning either. And hopefully it will stay that way, well actually it will. I learned my lesson.
But she is sucha good girl!!
She only cries if her dipe is messie or shes hungry! And shes sleeping AMAZINGLY at night *knocks on wood* I put her to bed at 10pm and its now 3am!! Shes still not even up, Im just so used to not getting any sleep at night!
I made the mistake yesterday of waking her up to feed and I will never again do that, she was up all night long. So now I just go to sleep with her and wait for her to wake me up.
But life is amazing wtih her. Brandon seen her at the hospital. He came up with his mom for 5 minutes. We called him the 2nd around 5pm and his phone was off!!
I was almost a week late and you have your phone off?! So my mom left a message saying that I had Kennedi and that they were welcome to come see her..dont they just show up 40 minutes later! Dont even call and let us know or even knock on my door just walk into MY hospital room like nothing. Then mama complained on her blog how we waited a full day before calling them, ummm I had problems going on wasnt like I had an easy peeasy 5 hour non complicated delivery but I didnt tell them.
Anywhoo he held her, didnt say anything to me or anyone else. Didnt even say anything to Kennedi when he held her. Just stared at her! He didnt even tell her how beautiful she is!!
Then he texted me friday asking how "HIS" baby was!! EXCUSE ME?! Omg that made me soooo mad, Im the one doing everything and he has the nerve to ask how HIS baby is! And then doesnt even ask to see her..whateve just more Kennedi and me time then!!
So were doing good Im just sore and having some problems but Kennedi is a god send and I couldnt ask for a better baby. I will upload pics, right now my sister is sleeping down here and I cant get the camera card but I promise I will be back with pics!! Cuz I just have to show her off!!

Update on me and Chunky Monkey!
You need to post more pictures of your cute little monkey.. 
Ella was the same way, she rarely cried when she was a newborn. I'm glad to hear breastfeeding is going better! Enjoy her- it goes by way too fast!!
That's so great she is back on track with BFing! You are doing a great job.
