Kaylee's first moments of life.
Holding Mommy's hand.
Snuggling with Daddy.
Well, here we are, a little over 4 months after our last post. Yes, we are still alive. Yes, we do still have plans to blog. Yes, we did have a baby girl in October and yes, she is the most precious thing. Kaylee Laura came into the world on October 5th at 5:41pm. After 7 weeks of bedrest, slow dilating and much contracting, I went to the doctor for my weekly checkup. There we discovered that I was 7 cm dilated and the doctor figured if she didn't send me to the hospital right away we would probably end up having the baby in the car on the way to the hospital since I still was not having consistent contractions. My doctor actually told me to act like I was in pain so they would believe that I was in labor. Joseph kept telling me to stop smiling so they would believe me too, that women in labor probably don't look happy, but I couldn't help but laugh at the whole situation. Delivery was fairly easy and Kaylee has been a joy to have in our lives. She is a great sleeper and is now full of smiles too. Austin loves her to pieces and would probably carry her all around the house if we would let him. He likes to try to roll with her, lay on her, sit with her in her swing, share his toys, and loves to give her hugs and kisses. Of course, as parents we sometimes have to interfere and remind him to be gentle, but he is so sweet to her and is already such a great big brother.
