Alexa has a voice!

Alexa has graduated to making coo-ing noises! Mama is so excited and can't wait to hear my voice.

10 weeks - Update

In 10 weeks, Miss Alexa has accomplished a lot.  We have not been so diligent with our postings of watching Nugget grow.  We do vow to be better now that we are in the swing of things.

Here is a list of a few things that has happened:

Attended her first Pride - skated with the Dames
Attended her first Roller Derby Bout - Yeah Pissahs won in a nailbiter
Had her 2 month shots - was a champ!
Visited NH - Manchester and Deerfield - wow my Uncle & Aunt live in the boonies.
Found her hands - able to grab
Sleeping way longer then 2 hour stretches - for the most part
Outgrown most of her NB clothes due to my length - currently 23.25"
Have taken to a bottle for supplemental feedings
Enjoying playdates with the Rottens - Hi Peach, Hi Joe!
Made a lot of new friends at New Moms Group - Hi Layla!

IT'S A GIRL!!

We are so excited to welcome Alexa Brady Robinson Kempinski to our family!!

She was born on May 1st, 2010 at 3:03am, after 27 hours of labor and 1/2 hour of pushing :)

She weighed 6 lbs, 15oz. and was 19 in. long.

We are totally in love!

Bassinet

In 1975, a little baby was born. Her name was Jennifer and her parents received a wonderful bassinet in which this beautiful young child slept in her first few months in the world. This bassinet then was used for her little brother Clay, and then passed on to her aunt and uncle for her cousins Kent and Keith. In the hopes that a grandchild would be coming their way, the family held onto this bassinet for 25 years. With love, Nana and Papa restored the bassinet, and Great-Nana hand-sewed custom bassinet sheets, blankets and a pillow, along with beautiful decorative ruffles and bows to coordinate. Here is the gorgeous finished product, just ready and waiting for our little Nugget.

The Nursery is DONE!

Nugget is going to be joining us very soon and the nursery is ready. Everything has come together so well due to Jennifer's amazing style and vision. We have finished off the room with lighting, bookshelves and electronics that go perfectly with the feel and look we were aiming for.
