Getting Used to the Changes

Where is Santa?? I think he is missing his hat!

Yup. No need for comment. Can't get any more adorable (of course I am biased 8) )

It has been 6 weeks since we have been blessed by Kayden. She is a wonderful baby! She almost sleeps through the night and barely cries. We are getting used to the different cries and the many needs of a baby. And loving every moment.

Today is the first day of daycare and Mommy was a bit sad, but did good. I only checked in once! I am proud.

The holidays were absolutely wonderful. Kayden had her first slumber party at Grandma and Grandpa Kourils. We had a ton of fun on her first Christmas. One Christmas day we went to Grandma and Grandpa Kings and had a major blessing. Kayden smiled for the first time and it was not gas!! I got her to smile over and over again! It was so wonderful!

Since she smiles occasionally but still working on the often thing.

Mustang is loving having her around. He is very over protective but loving toward her. He has adjusted well except when he is not allowed in the nursery which is the one room he can go in.

New Years Eve was great! Her first party and she did not make it to midnight. Her and her daddy was basically asleep by midnight.

Blessings to all the family on a magnificent New Year!

OUR JOY HAS COME!!!!

Kayden Etta Kouril born 11/22/08 at 9:20 pm.....7lbs, 2 oz and 18 inches long

We are so VERY proud to announce that she is finally here. She takes after her parents by being punctual. She came on her due date.

My water broke on Sat. about 9 am and they proceeded with a long emotional day. To give you a synopsis. I contracted for almost 12 hours. I felt pretty good with the contactions until to doctor broke my water further. That is when the epi was ordered asap. Wow.. Dallas I am sure is still recovering from the hand squeezing. After the epi we found my blood pressure had dropped which sent Kayden into a bit of a stressful time. The pitosin to induce labor had to be stopped until she could level out her heart rate. The heart rate dropped all three times when started the meds to induce labor that I needed to get dilated. So about 8 pm it was decided at 9 i would head down for a c section. That was extremely scary for me, but the best for our baby girl. Dallas, I am so proud to say, stood up and looked as she got pulled out and he did not end up on the floor!!! He saw his baby girl come out. Recovery has been hard but good. Getting the hang of things has been really hard which is slightly an understatement but a challenge we are ready for. She is them most beautiful thing in our lives and thank God every momeny for the healthy baby girl he has blessed us with.. She is perfect!! Attached is some pics, I am sure more will come and I will ad as I go. Thank you all for your love, support and prayers. They mean so much to us and are very much appreciated! Love you all.

Sooner than Later

Well we just got back from the doctor and found out we ARE FINALLY DILATED!!! We are at a 2 and for those who don't remember or know we must get to a 10. That can come sooner or later. However, Sat. is our due date. If she does not come by next Wednesday they will induce me that day. So needless to say our bundle of joy will be here for sure in a week or less. Of Course we are hoping for the less part! My guess is that she will be coming friday. However, we shall see. So stay tuned for the baby news...............

Down to the wire

Well 2 weeks and 2 days. But who is counting! We are officailly at full term so it is really up to Kayden on when she wants to come. It could be any day now really. We did have a doc appt this week and we are not dilated yet, however she has dropped and the doctor said that everything is in position and that he could feel her head...how weird is that! So we hope to have some wonderful new for you all sooner than later. Dallas and I cannot wait to introduce our beautiful baby girl to all the friends and family that have supported us so much! So that is really all for now. Tune in soon for the good no....great news!!!

Another wonderful Shower!

Diaper Poo Game....YUM REESES!

My wonderful friends Stephanie and Meredith. And My mom and Steph's Grandma Lepiston threw me a wonderful shower! We had a great group of family and friends join for some great food and awesome Carrot cake made by Grandma Lepisto. I received a diaper cake and many wonderful things. We played the diaper game, guess the candy in the pumpkins. Thank you to all that came I had a great time with wonderful memories.

Dr. Appt

Well we got to see our precious baby girl again. We found out that she is already in position and ready to go. She is guestimated at about 6lbs right now. However, those don't tend to exactly accurate. She has been a moving and a groving!! So we are 9 months in counting!!! And we can't wait.

Update and 2nd Shower!

Wonderful gifts

My beautiful Cake!

I know I have not updated in a while. There has not been a huge amount happening until this week. I had another baby shower, thank you to Joyce's friends. It was a wonderful time!!! I will attach pics hopefully on Thursday. We have our next appointment on Wednesday and we will get to see our baby girl AGAIN. We are so very lucky. We just are making sure she is ready and waiting. I know we are! So stay tuned!

The shower that was given by Joyce's friends was A LOT of fun. She has a lot of wonderful friends. There was a beautiful devotional give by Marsha that I will cherish forever! We played some fun games, like identifying the the melted candy bar in the diaper. That is always fun! There was a beautiful cake and wonderful pizza. Thank you to all that came and put it together! It was a true blessing!!
