Kinsey's First Bath

Well, it took her a while, but Kinsey finally lost her umbilical cord stump on Sunday, February 7, 2010. We went ahead and still gave her a sponge bath because there was still some "gunk" in there. However, last night I decided it was time for her first tub bath. Here are a few pictures. You'll notice she did not enjoy it much! Check out that cute hiney!!

It's been a while . . .

I'm home by myself now with my precious little baby and while I should be sleeping when she's sleeping, it's a little hard during the day. But, that leaves me a little time to blog, so we'll start back up from here!

I had an amazing pregnancy, with a little high blood pressure towards the end, but everything else was so wonderful. I loved it. However, it made me think my delivery was going to be hard and boy was it! 19 1/2 hours in labor, 3 hours of pushing, all to result in an emergency c-section because she was OT, which means head down, face to the side.

Here is how it went down . . .

We went in on the 13th at 10 to get cervadil(sp?) because my blood pressure has been pretty high, but I wasn't dilating. So, we stayed over night and woke up the next morning only to find out that I still wasn't dilated! So, they went ahead and took me to L&D and put me on pitocin. I was contracting every minute, but I couldn't feel a thing because of pain meds. Anyway, by like 5 or 6p.m. I had only dilated to a 3. They checked again at 8 p.m. and I was dilated to an 8. By 10 p.m. I was at a 10, so we started pushing while waiting for the dr. Well, I pushed for 3 hours and we discovered she was turned head down, but her face was sideways and she was stuck in my pelvis. So, at 2 a.m. I was pulled into the OR and had to have an emergency c-section. 2:52 a.m. Kinsey was here!!

Anyway, Kinsey Elizabeth is absolutely perfect. I love her so much. I am one exhausted mommy, but I know it's all worth it!

"My Treasure . . ."

is apparently what Kinsey means in Arabic. Isn't that perfect? Just thought I'd share! :)

Now, the pictures you have been waiting for . . .

belly and bedding pictures!! :)

I bought the bedding from Baby World in Dallas. The pictures aren't very good, but you get the idea. The fabrics are Watermelon Paisley, Watermelon stripes, Watermelon Candy, and brown Minky Dot. I love it. Now, what color do I paint the nursery?

Just as Kinsey is growing . . .

so is her CLOSET!!! :) I LOVE IT!!! Here are some of her cute new things!!














We have so many sweet friends and family!! Her new Nikes are from her Marnie and Papa(Jeff's parents), her yellow blanket is from my friend, Emily, her purple "Queen" onesie is from my friend, Valerie, the pink "daddy" shirt is from my cousin, Sheri and her family, my friend, Carrie, bought her the pink onesie with the little hats and a matching bandana for Sweetie. I bought the pj's with the cute little feet, the little sundress, the bows, and the diaper bag!!

We have MOVEMENT!!

Our little baby has been moving like crazy! Usually when I'm sitting down. It didn't feel like gas or flutters to me, but I'm now at the point when I can feel her moving with my hand, not just inside!! Hopefully Jeff will be able to feel soon! I am totally loving the whole pregnancy thing. Well, almost whole, not so much the throbbing feet at the end of work and the lack of wardrobe! The movement and the growing belly are absolutely wonderful and miraculous!!

Also, we're thinking about naming our sweet baby girl, Kinsey. Isn't it super cute? A little stumped on a middle name. I'm thinking Kaye, Rae, Kate, or maybe Elizabeth. Any thoughts?

Forgot this one . . .

Not sure how, but this cute little outfit was forgotten! :) I'll try to take pictures with my actual camera from now on, not my iPhone. :)
