Our Family News: Kynsley Michelle Weatherly

Johnathan and I arrived at the hospital at 6:30 am. My Mom and Dad got Ashlyn ready for school, and then waited until 10am to take Jadie to Courtni's house for the day. They started the pitocin at 8:00. (The nurse said I was already having contractions! I was almost a 3 and 70% effaced the first time she checked me.) Beaumont sure is a small world, as we found out our nurse is actually our neighbor. We can see her backyard from ours! At about 8:30, Dr. P. came in a broke my water! The contractions immediately started to get quite uncomfortable. By this time, I remember my mom and dad arriving so it had to be sometime after 10. Shortly after the anesthesiologist arrived to give me the epidural!!! I love those guys!!! He had to try a couple of different times to get the placement right. After was all said and done...I could still feel the contractions higher on my belly, but nothing low. The nurse could tell that I was quite uncomfortable still so she called him back and he increased the dose as well as giving me a "Boost". About 10 minutes later, I felt like I was going to pass out. She immediately paged the doctor who came in and stayed with me until I returned to normal. That boost...made me not feel ANYTHING!!! It was like I had two dead legs attached to my body. It was quite weird to say the least! Finally....Kynsley made her entrance into our family at 1:26pm. She weighed 7 pounds 3 ounces and measured 20.5 inches long. Delivery was much easier than with Ashlyn or Jadyn. I managed to push her out in one really long push! (Took me two breaths but just one contraction!)

My parents as well as Johns parents and sister were able to meet her today. She is quite alert and is feeding well. She has super long fingers and toes that spread out like mine! So I'm sure she will have the ability to pick things up with them just like me! Her hair is so dark it's looks black. I remember the girls having dark hair but not this dark. Since it was a quick delivery she has a perfectly round head!!! She already loves to be held and fusses if you put her down!!! We are truly blessed to have been another part of Gods most awesome miracles!!!

Here is Kynsley minutes after birth. They haven't even weighed her yet!

Here the nurse is stamping her feet! Still no weight!

7 Pounds and 3 Ounces!!!

Here is my first time to get to hold her after she was all cleaned up!

The nurses were prepping to give Kynsley her first bath.

Her first Shampoo!

Ashlyn seeing Kynsley for the first time! Kynsley had to stay under the warmer for a while when they first arrived to make sure she could hold her own body temperature.

Jadie fell asleep in the car on the way to the hospital. My Dad carried her from the car into our room. She woke up to me in the hospital bed, still hooked up to the IV as well as Kynsley being taken care of by the nurses in the warming bed. Jadie was quite unsure of what all was going on. She even refused to give me a hug or to look at Kynsley. Eventually she warmed up though...and was singing, and dancing for everyone in the room!

6 Hours after delivery and I'm still NUMB!!!! Completely NUMB! I didn't get feeling back until almost 9pm.

Kynsley passed her Temp Test so everyone had an opportunity to hold her!

Grandma and Grandpa W. and Jennifer came to the hospital that evening. The girls were super excited to see them and immediately began showing off! Here are some pictures of them with Kynsley.
