Shes almost 2 weeks already!

Our little Kenadie is already 12 days old, holy cow its already going by so fast!! It has been quite the experience and I'm loving every minute of it :) Lots of family came by to see her, andit was so good to see everyone. My sisters haven't seen her yet and they can hardly wait. I have to email pics just about every day, but hopefully they will see her real soon! My mom came and stayed for just about a week right after she was born, and it helped so much! I already miss her tonz! It was quite emotional when she left. Kenadie is already back to her birth weight and is doing really good! She has a little jaundice but nothing serious and she had a little eye infection for a couple days, but even that has cleared up now. She hasn't quite mastered night and day yet, but hopefully she will get there real soon ;) Everyday she is awake a little bit more and is making more and more facial expresions already! The dogs are doing really good with her. There still a little hyper and a bit curious. They are protective of her already. When she cries, they are alert and follow us around while we carry her, and when shes laying down somewhere they like to be right there next to her. Oh i just love her sooo much! Here is just a couple of pictures of what we have been up to the last little bit!


She hated her first bath, and her 2nd, and her third!!!

She has perfected the bottle without hands, she is a hard sucker, trust me ;)

She looks a chunky in pics, but shes really not chunky at all yet!

Finally a pic with her eyes open!!

Shes ready to eat right now :)

She's Here

Kenadie Kay Allen

Kenadie Kay Allen arrived Monday night, Feb. 8th at 10:21! She is 8lbs 1.7 oz and 20 1/4 inches long. She has beautiful dark skin and light brown hair. She is so pretty and we are so excited to have her here! I cannot belive how much we love her and how much she changes our life for the better!

Sunday night we went to the hospital, worried about high blood pressure. They monitored the baby and I for about 4-5 hours. My blood pressure went down then shot back up so they decided we would probably have to deliver in the morning because of the pre-eclampsia I kept being tested for, for the last 3 weeks. So at 8 am the next morning we took off to the hospital and was monitored for about 20 minutes when they decided they needed to induce me asap. After they were able to rupture my water, the plan was to put me on patosin to start the contractions but within 10 min of my water rupturing the contractions came on full just a minute apart. At about 6pm I was ready for my epidural. Within an hour I have dialated another 3 cm, and within about another hour-hour and a half I was fully dialted and ready to have this baby! Everything went great, still a little sore and defintetly tired but doing good! Thanks to everyone that called or wrote, or even thought about us! I'm sure I will be keeping the blog updated alot more now that I have something to write about :)
