Welcome Kensley Rhea

Oh How I have been waiting to blog this day! On Sunday, January 21st I got the BEST Birthday present anyone could ask for...Kensley entered the world at 10:08p.m. weighing in at 7lbs 9oz and was 19" long. I cant imagine how big she would have been if I would have carried her 3 more weeks to her due date! She swallowed some amniotic fluid on her way out so she had to stay in the nursery for a few days but we are home now and she is a perfect little angel! We are still not to sure who she looks like. She came out with a quite a bit of dark hair (Brian is asking me to explain that one! ha ha)
Here is how it happened. On Sunday Brian and I and the kids decided to go shopping and to lunch for my B-day. I felt great all day long and then on the way home at about 4:30p.m. I started having contractions. I didn't think to much of it until I started timing them and they were consistently 5 min apart for about 2 hours. Brian talked me into calling the Dr. I did and she sent me in to labor and delivery. I figured they would monitor me and send me home since my contractions were not getting any stronger. So we check in and they hook me up to the monitors..They are still coming but I was still dilated to between 1 & 2 and 75% effaced so the nurse went in and called my Dr. When she got back to my room at about 8:45 she said okay well the Dr. said we will be delivering her at 9:30. I said "ummm, in the morning?" she said "No, like in 45 min" I was so panicked! I could not believe this was happening! Brian walked outside to make the phone calls and was so shocked he could not remember how to work his phone! So needless to say 9:30 rolled around and they wheeled be back to the O.R. and out came baby at 10:08p.m. Brian got to watch them pull her out and he got to cut the cord so that was exciting for him. Everything else went as planned. The Dr's were laughing at me saying I have to spend every one of my Birthdays from here on out at Chuckie Cheese! Thats okay, I would gladly give up every Birthday for the gift I received on this one!
