Our Little Baby K is here!! {2008}

The early morning of September, (the day before her due date) Baby K entered the world at 4:06 am weighing 7 lbs, and 6.8 oz and measuring 20.5 inches long. I woke up feeling strong contractions at 1:30 am and we got to the hospital at 3:40 am (Mark’s Mom came and stayed the night at our place with the kids). They checked me, and I was dilated to a 10 already! I would have liked to have meds, but they said that they wouldn’t even go into affect until she was out. So I went all natural. I definitely prefer having meds!! It was 2.5 hours of labor, and she arrived 25 minutes after I got to the hospital. It was very intense and extremely quick. I was glad that it was fast though, because of having to feel the entire thing this time. We stayed at the hospital for 2.5 days and then we went home. I have the best husband, not only did he bring me roses to the hospital, but when I got home there was a huge bouquet of lilies on the table, and he had cleaned the entire house. He has been very very helpful. We came home on my birthday, and he helped take care of the kids and made the meals all day, and then bought me an icecream cake, my favorite pizza flavors from Papa Murpheys and a glider rocker. We celebrated Little Man E’s birthday on his day a few days before Baby K was born. We had lovely parties for both his and my birthdays. I thought it was so cute, because on my birthday Little Man E, asked me, “Mommy are you turning four too?” (so adorable!) I am having fun taking pictures, as usual. :) Little Man E and Little Miss R absolutely adore their new baby sister. Little Miss R says, "I love my new baby sister, her cute." They both love holding her! Mark and I are so excited about her too. She fits right in, and is such a wonderful little baby. We all love her so much! {www.lily-photo.com}
