We are so excited that Kayleigh Faith has arrived! She made a quick entrance into the world . . . Kristin started with contractions around 11:30 pm on Wednesday night (20th), but we weren't sure if they were the real deal. So we kind of waited until a little after midnight. We were then sure we needed to start our hour drive to the hospital. The contractions continued on the way and we were shocked to learn that she was already at an 8 when we got up to our room shortly after 2 am. Thankfully our midwife arrived very quickly! We worked through 10 or more contractions and were at a 9. The midwife broke Kristin's water (after she got the better part of her first dose of penicilin) and then we were ready to push. Only 3 pushes and Kayleigh entered the world. She was instantly pink and looked great! Kristin held and nursed her right away and waited to be weighed and measured. We were all guessing around 8-8 1/2 lbs, and were completely shocked for the second time that morning, to learn that she was 9 lbs. 3 oz. CRAZY!! So she was officially born Thursday, January 21st at 3:19 am weighing 9 lbs. 3 oz. and 20 inches long. She has adorable chubby cheeks!! Thank you God for blessing us with another beautiful child and another completely natural labor and delivery! We are more than blessed!!!
