After 12 weeks of a Bradly birth class and lots of books, my mind was set on a drug free birth. I knew I could do it and was ready! My mom came down from Oregon May 11th. We did lots of walking and she wanted to take me to get Skipolini's Prego Pizza! As My mom and sister took me out to dinner Saturday night I just felt off, when we got home I was counting my contractions but they weren't to strong and about 15 minutes apart. I didn't get much sleep that night and got out of bed around 3 am. Walking the living room talking with God and telling my self I could do it, (inside I was SO excited) I was about to meet my baby!!! My mom woke up and fallowed me around. After texting my birth coach and hearing how strong I was, I jumped into the shower. I took a little over an hour because each contraction took me to my knees. After my shower my contractions were 2 minutes apart on the dot! I went to the hospital and got checked in at 6am ish. The rest seems like a blur to me and went by so fast. My birth coaches were helping me through the hardest thing I had ever been through yet. At 9 cm I wanted to push and no one could stop me! My doctor came and it was time to have my baby!! Stephani and Amanda were telling me over and over "your are about to meet your baby!!! I started pushing at 11:20am and Kaylee Christin was born at 11:31 am May 15th 2011, by far the best day of my life!
Kaylee was 7lbs 10 oz and 18.75 inches long.
THE HOSPITAL STAY:
Kaylee had a tiny bit of fluid in her lungs. Her breathing was a bit to fast for the doctors comfort. They took her blood and something was a bit off so they wanted to give her antibiotics. They ended up taking her off them because the daily blood work was coming back fine. So we had to stay one more night JUST to make sure she would be fine ... (even though I knew she was) she is feeding well and couldn't wait to meet her big sister Izzy! Mommy missed that baby lots. ;) hehe! So we were able to leave May 19th (Thursday) ! We had lots of support, prayers, and love by family and friends!
WELCOME HOME SWEET BABY:
Izzy couldn't stop looking at her!
We had a very relaxing day. Just feedings and I got to shower. I missed Izzy so much and it felt so good to be home in my own bed! My mom made Kaylee a birthday cake and her Grandpa and Grandma Riker came over for dinner along with Daddy (johnny) uncle Dustin and Aunt Jessica and her cousin Luke! We got to eat and just hang out, OH and pictures of course!
