Aislyn & Kynsal Update

Our girls are doing great! We took Kynsal to the pediatrician on Wednesday and she is a happy and healthy baby. Her doctor thought she may of had a touch of jaundice, but that has cleared up already. She is eating and sleeping very well. Not to make anyone envious, but she is already sleeping about 4-5 hours at a time through the night. Aislyn absolutely loves being the big sister! She walks around the house saying "I'm the best big sister in the whole world!" She is so anxious to help anyway she can. All we have to say to her is "It's time to be the Big Sister" and off she runs to see how quickly she can get a diaper and wipes.

Kim is also recovering much better than she did with her first pregnancy. Her labor was nearly half of what it was with Aislyn. The epidural actually worked like it should this time around. Her anesthesiologist was amazing and had her pain free in about 10 minutes. She was so thankful! With Aislyn she had to push for a little over 2 hours and with Kynsal, about 20-25 minutes.

Here's a quick little clip of Aislyn seeing Kynsal for the first time.

Everything went just fine today and they let us come home. Aislyn just loves being the Big Sister now! Thanks to everyone who stopped by, called, text'd, and most importantly, prayed. We couldn't have done it without all your support and prayers.

Well, after nine months of waiting and wondering and speculating as to what exactly the sex of our baby was, it's a girl!

Things are finally progressing. Her water just broke and she's getting an epidural soon so hopefully she can get some rest.

Kim is being a trooper. Her belly is wrapped so the baby won't move & the meds are giving her contractions. She's getting tired...

We are finally settled in & induction has begun. Kim is doing great! Her doctor is thinking she'll begin laboring in the early AM.

Blizzard of '08

Well, we got 20.4 inches of snow within about 32 hours. I loved it! Aislyn enjoyed it immensely while it lasted. All the snow was gone a week later but we made a couple snowmen, many snow angels and snowballs. Jason pulled her on the sled and spent many hours in the snow. I had contractions for about 2 hours during the storm and thought the baby was coming but it turned out to be a false alarm. So here we are on our due date still waiting for the little one. Everything is ready (including Aislyn) for this little one to come and it looks like they will induce my labor Friday night if it doesn't happen before then. So stay tuned to this blog and we will give you the answer to the question of the hour... a boy or a girl??? Happy St. Patty's Day!
