Kayden was born April 10th at 8:15am. Overall it was a fairly easy pregnancy and delivery. The nine months of pregnancy flew by. I never had much of the morning sickness or any of the other pregnancy dilemmas. In fact, I really enjoyed being pregnant till about the last month, and then I was tired of it. I had no fears of what was to come, except the delivery. I wondered was I going to have a fairly short and easy delivery, or one that lasted forever and had complications? I ended up being somewhere in the middle. On the morning of the 9th, I woke up having small contractions. By noon I had called my doctor and the hospital, both told me to come in. I told Dustin it was time to go and we loaded our bags into the car and headed to the hospital. Once we got there I was hooked up to the monitors. After a couple of hours and lots of walking, they ended up sending me home. I was disappointed because I knew that the clock for her to come on her own was quickly ticking away. I was scheduled to be induced at noon on the 11th, something I was not looking forward to. Little did I know, that at midnight we would be making another trip to the hospital, this time I knew I was not getting sent home. Some how we managed to drive 50 miles in about 30 minutes. We got to the hospital at 1 am, and by 3, I had the epidural in. At 7:30 my doctor arrived and little Kayden Marie was born at 8:15am, weighing 8lbs 7 oz.
The first few days were kind of rough. It was getting use to waking up at night and learning that my schedule now revolves around her feeding times. But now we are use to all that and she sleeps fantastic at night. She usually wakes up 2 times at night and will sleep 6-7 hours at a time every now and then. Can't really complain there. Dustin absolutely loves spoiling her, she can be such a daddy's girl some days. She has no problem holding her head up, in fact she will hold it up for long periods of time, it just amazes me. She is now starting to smile when you talk to her and make cooing sounds. The animals don't really seem to mind her, other than they might be slightly jealous. Leksi loves to give her kisses and check on her when she is on the couch or in her swing.
