Day 2 in the Hospital
Since Kayla came late Satruday night we didn't have vistors till the next day. Of course Daddy brought Ella to meet her baby sister. At first Ella was very excited to kiss and hold Kayla, but then she was more excited about the buttons on the bed and the remote control then she was about the baby. Amanda, Michele, Sue, Robin, Dan, Nor, Aunt Chris, Tom, Stacy and Doug also came to visit! It was exciting to have everyone meet Kayla for the first time!
Labor and Delivery
I had my 39 week doctor's appointment on Friday. After that appointment I had some cramping that lasted into Saturday morning, which turned into very mild contractions and spaced very far apart. Around 3:00 pm I realized that the contractions were probably the very early signs of labor, but I wasn't really concerned. As the day went on they were getting more painful, but would come and go. Just after 7:00 I took a shower and the contractions were getting much more painful and closer together. At 8:30 I called Michele and asked her to come over and watch Ella for the night. I knew this was it. Brian and I have conflicting times about when we arrived at the hospital. I say it was just after 9:00, but he says it was closer to 9:30. Either way, I was admitted right away and hooked up to an IV because I wanted an epidural and needed at least one bag of fluids before I could get it. Also, they needed to run my blood work, do some other tests and then I needed to wait for the anesthesiologist to finish with another patient and there was also another person who was ahead of me. I was in the worse pain of my life when he finally came around 10:15 pm. My doctor told me if I didn't receive the epidural I would probably have the baby before 11:00. I didn't believe her or didn't care at this point. I finally received the epidural and as soon as he was done my water broke and it was time to push. About five pushes later the baby was out and the epidural never had time to work so my doctor is "giving me credit for a natural delivery." That meant nothing at the time, but once I had the baby the pain stopped and it was amazing to meet her for the first time! Here are some pictures just after she was delivered.

Doctor's Appointment - 39 Weeks
Today I had my 39th week appointment. My doctor said I am 2-3 cm dilated, but her head is still far back. If I don't have the baby before Wednesday I am going to be induced that day. I need to call Monday morning to make sure there's an available opening and I will know for sure then. Other than that everything is good and now we're just waiting...

Pictures of the Baby's Room
Brian and I finally finished the baby's room and it turned out perfect! It's very pink, but I love it! Brian still needs to hang her name above the crib, but of course we won't do that till the last minute. Only two more weeks to go, but hopefully it's sooner than that...I'm ready! :)

Baby's Room
Today Brian and his Dad finished painting the baby's room. A couple of weeks ago Pappy came down to paint the room pink and then today they did the stripes. It's hard to see how nice to looks in the pictures, but it turned out amazing! We're leaving for vacation tomorrow, but when we get back we'll start putting in the furniture and decorating. Only 6 more weeks to go...

Sorry this is posted a few days late...I was out of town this weekend and we're in the process of changing the office into the baby's room. The transition isn't going as smoothly as planned, but we're working on it.
