Kelsey is FINALLY Here!

I know this is what you've all been waiting for, so I guess I'll go ahead and post some pictures of our newest addition. Kelsey Brooke decided she was ready to enter the world on May 18, 2010. And let me tell you, I was ready too! What's really bazaar is that she was ten days early, just like Logan, and she weighed 6 lbs 10 oz, also just like Logan.

I'm sure that most of you have heard by now that my labor was only two hours long with Kelsey, and I am still in shock of it, myself. Tuesday morning I had an appointment with my midwife and we made a plan that if I didn't deliver by Monday, May 24, she would induce me. Little did I know I would be seeing her again that same evening delivering my baby. All day Tuesday I would have a contraction here and there, but that was nothing unusual since it had been going on for the last few weeks, so I didn't think anything about it. While we were eating dinner that night I had a few contractions, but still didn't think it was anything to be concerned about. At 7:45 Adam told me to start writing down the times of my contractions or to tell him when I would have one. So, I had one at 7:45, went on about my business and didn't have another one until 8:30. My midwife told me not to call until I had been having contractions 5 minutes apart for one hour. We decided to go to Wal-Mart because I needed to pick up a few things. As we were getting out of the car I had a contraction, as we walked into the store, I had another one, and as we left I had another one. That was the most regular they had been, and then I didn't have another for about 15 minutes. This started at 9:00. I made a few phone calls to some people to let them know I would probably be calling again during the night and wanted them to be prepared. On the way home the contractions became very regular-5 minutes apart. Adam said we needed to call the doctor and I said no because it had not been an hour, so we should wait. At 10:00 we called the doctor and the lady who was going to come watch Logan until my mom could make it to our house. The doctor said we should go on to the hospital but we had to wait for our babysitter which wouldn't be there for about 30 minutes. The doctor said that was fine we still had time. The babysitter got to our house at around 10:15, we got to the hospital at 10:30 and Kelsey was born at 11:04! Talk about cutting it close! Anyway, now that I've bored you with the labor story, here are a few pictures of little Kelsey. Hope you all enjoy!

Logan is an AWESOME big brother! He is already so protective of his little sister-it's very sweet. In fact, the second day he came to the hospital, the nurse came in to take Kelsey for some tests and Logan asked her, "Where are you going with her?" He didn't want her out of his sight. Every time she cries he is quick to come to her side and see what she needs and tries to comfort her. I love it!

I will post more pictures as soon as I can get another chance.
