breakthrough and sleep

i know it's been awhile since i wrote on here and frankly it's just been because life with a baby takes up a lot of time!
here are a couple of new things that have happened in our family lately, especially with Kennedi.

In June, Ben and I were watching the 700 Club while I was nursing Kennedi on the couch. We weren't intentionally turning on the tv to watch it, it just happened to be on and we stopped to listen to what they were saying. they were ending the show and i guess the 700 club does healing prayer at the end of their show and words of knowledge for their viewers. Now normally on these types of shows I have to confess I normally roll my eyes and always thought this is just goofy that they are doing this for their viewers, but this time Ben and I joined in and prayed for Kennedi as they did a general prayer for healing at the beginning. They told their viewers to lay their hand on the part of body that needs healing. I laid my LEFT hand on her stomach and we prayed that whatever was going on with her and not being able to eat well and thinking it was gas or something just prayed the Lord would help the problem and heal her. While we were praying the man on the screen stopped and said, "I just got a picture of a lady who has her LEFT hand on the abdomen and is holding a baby; I want to tell you healing is coming!" Ben and I just stunned, looked at each other and realized the picture he was seeing was ME!! This was such an amazing testimony that the Lord was promising us that healing IS COMING!
Over the past weeks we've just been contending and believing for that healing. Kennedi still wasn't eating or nursing well and would just scream when she tried to and screamed after that because she was still hungry.
Finally, after hearing EVERYONE's opinions, which I asked for most of the time, and some of the time didn't, i decided i was finished with just hearing every one else's guesses based on their own kids. So, when Kennedi's eating habits started getting into daytime eating habits with screaming too, i made an apointment to go to the doctor... most would say "OH NO" at that. but my mom said, "doctors are trained to know babies, take her to the doctor". i agreed
we went to see the doctor and found out this whole time kennedi has had acid reflux (which is common in about 1 out of 10 babies). this makes it very hard for her to swallow food without it burning her throat when she ate when the acid would come up. she couldn't be on her back (and still can't eat laying down very well) which was the reason for her not being able to nurse well.
we got medication and now a week later Kennedi is a different baby. She is eating about 4-6oz of food every feeding and hasn't screamed while eating in the past 4-5 days. it's been amazing. she is so happy and generally only cries when she's hungry or getting tired. PRAISE GOD!
The Lord has definitely brought healing in so many ways.
Ben and I have had a couple rough nights during this whole sha-bang and in the end it has just brought us closer as we accept our weaknesses (which seem to be revealed all the more now that we have a baby) and be quick to forgive each other.
Thank you so much for your prayers.

And now we're starting Kennedi on a schedule. We've been reading a book called "Good Night Sleep Tight" or otherwise known as "the sleep lady book". We're now in the process of teaching her how to go to sleep on her own. This will help her in the long run to be able to sleep throughout the whole night and be able to put herself back to sleep when she randomly wakes up through the night and throughout the day during her naps. So, for the next little while little Bean and I are staying at home most of the day just trying to figure out a good schedule for her. I admit, i'm getting a little stir crazy, but I know it's just a passing moment and everything will be set in stone and I will have a scheduled life again even if it takes a few weeks.
