And she's here...Kinsley

Two moreshots of me at the very end of my pregnancy ...


The picture in the pink shirt was Monday and boy did I have a lot of cleaning to do...which helped me go into labor because...after laboring at home for most of the night, we arrived at the hospital with only 20 minutes to spare!  Thank goodness she came quickly.. weighing in at 6 pounds 1 ounce and only 18 inches long, Kinsley joined our family!





 


Grandma was on the airplane as we were driving to the hospital and arrived only minutes after Kinsley was born.  Thank goodness Kinsley came quickly otherwise Grandma would have had to stay the night in our tiny little airport!  Thank you Grandma for coming!  We love you so much and you were a HUGE help, as always!
Kinsley came quickly and in doing so she also scared the doctors and she ended up in the NICU for a few days, while they did all sorts of testing because she had such low body temperature.  She was fine though after medicines of all kinds and we are extremely thankful for that!  She was born on a Tuesday and we finally came home on Friday.  Sunday was Mother's Day so Grandma was invited to my brother, Bryan's house for the weekend, so we didn't get to spend too much time with her but we know she had a good time with him.

Spring Break & a whole lot more posts to come ...

After Hiram arrived home ( I was 33 weeks pregnant) I went to the dr and told them that we were going to go to Disneyworld when I was 36 weeks pregnant.  My midwife (on the base) told me that probably wouldn't be a good idea but I really didn't care where our new baby would be born, NC or FL, didn't really matter.  So she said well I won't even wonder who it is when they make an announcement that a baby was born at Disneyworld!  So we decided to go ... we went for a week ... walked a ton ... and of course ... NO BABY!  Any way here are some of our fun pictures...
