Our First Week at Home

Kinsley Kate did not have to stay long in the NICU only 4 days! I came home on Tuesday and Kinsley got to come home on Wednesday. We were very surprised that when we arrived to feed Kinsley they said congratulations you will get to go home in a few hours and take her with you. We knew she would get to come home soon, but we were not sure when so we were very suprised and excited!! We quickly fed her and then ran to Target to get a few things that we needed. When we got back it was time to go home. Kinsley's first week at home has been so busy! Our first morning home Kinsley had a doctors appointment. She weighed 5 pounds and 10 ounces. Everything else looked great also. They checked her for jaundis and I realized real quick that I was glad Kevan came too becasue he had to hold her and she squirmed around and cried the whole time. They had to prick her little foot and squeeze it to get blood.  It just broke my heart (maybe Kevan should take her when she has to get shots).We go back in two weeks for her check-up! We have had lots of family visiting Kinsley and she has slept through most of it. She is such a good baby...I know I know it probably will not last long. I wake her up when it's time to eat. If I didn't she would sleep right on through. I am even more protective than I thought that I would be. Hand Sanitizer, Gowns....the whole works to hold her. She is just so tiny and fragile.....I don't want her sick! Tori has been here so its really been crazy....The first thing she said was "make the baby go away". She really likes her now. Actually she kinda just ignores her. Every once in a while she will say...Hey sissy. Oh...and she can't say Kinsley so she has been calling her Candice-Too Funny. Anyway here are some pictures from her first week home. I really have tried to take some pictures, but she keeps her hands in front of her face all the time and she is such a squimer that everytime I get her like I like it she moves.

Kinsley Kate has Arrived!!

Kisnley Kate Hall was born Saturday 1/16/10 at 5:36 p.m. She weighed a whopping 5 pounds and 15 ounces! Kinsley is in the NICU and will have to stay about a week. Her breathing has already got much better! She looks just like daddy! I will post more pictures soon!

Tori was so excited about sister coming!

Ok, It's Official!

I am Huge!!! 35 Weeks

I am getting so anxious for Miss Kinsley to be here!

34 Week Appointment

Tomorrow I will be 34 weeks! I never thought I would make it this far. We started early this morning with going to get my last Rogahm shot. Thank goodness; I hate to get those! And then to Dr. Bailey's office for our last ultrasound and an appointment. It was a mad house because of the snow they had called in every patient to come in so they could close early. During the ultrasound Miss Kinsley kept her hands and arms over her face the entire time....She really wants it to be a seceret what she looks like. She is doing a good job. The last several times she has done this. She weighs 5 pounds and 9 ounces already! She may have outgrown all her NB clothes by the time I actually have her. Dr. Bailey said my amniotic fluid was a little better and everything looked great. I begged him to schedule my C-Section so that I could at least start counting down. It did not work- He said he would schedule it next time and he would see me in two weeks. So much for me holding my ground trying to get it scheduled. Now I am home and exhausted. What am I going to do when this baby gets here. I hope my energy comes back! Now that I am monitoring again I am seeing contractions on the monitor.....Brenda you may be right, but I hope not. The roads are bad and Kevan will be mad if she interfers with the ballgame.
