It's A Girl!!!!

Well on September 11th, 2008, our precious baby, Kailee Grace was born.  I know this is another September event but I felt it was important enough that it deserved it's own post!  Anyhow... it was kind of funny because when I went into labor around 6 p.m., we were all wondering if we would make it past midnight so it would be the 12th.  Time went on through the night and we thought we might make it but about 11:15 p.m. the doctor said no way.  He was right!  I had her at 11:45 p.m.  SO we have a 9/11 baby.  Needless to say, that day will be a very happy one in our family from now on!!  Here are some cute pictures..

This first one is definitely not the cutest one of me but I put it on because I like our hands.  I just have to say how sweet my husband was this night, I couldn't have asked for anything better.  He just sat there and held my hand, didn't complain when I squeezed it with all my might, and would've done anything in the world for me to help make me more comfortable.  He was incredible!  I love you hubby!

Now for the cute ones!  The first pic is of Kailee... 7 minutes old!  I though she looked so precious!  The birth was a little rough on her so she had a little bit of the conehead look common for newborns and her poor little eyes were swollen shut for a few days.  Poor thing! We thought she was beautiful anyway!  

Kailee had to stay in the NICU for a little while due to a couple little issues.  One of which was a really stubborn case of jaundice.  The next pic is Kailee under the bili lights... I think it's so adorable!  It looks like she is in a little tanning bed!  Uber cute!

We were so sad that we couldn't bring her home right away! But we did go there every day, usually a few times a day, to kiss, hold, cuddle and take care of our sweet baby girl.  Stockton even drew Kailee this cute little picture to put in her bed at the NICU.  I'm pretty sure she liked it!

Now here we are, getting ready to go home with our newest addition!  On October 29th, after a little bit of a rough start, Kailee was doing great and ready to come home!  We were all so excited to have her home with us!

This last one is Kailee's first night at home.  She slept in her little bed (for a few hours anyway) and was such a good little baby!  She is such an angel... Welcome home!!
