2 weeks old

These past 2 weeks have flown by! We went to Kinsey's 2 week check up yesterday. She weighed 7 lbs 4 oz and was 21 in long. She is growing like a weed and is perfectly healthy! This has been the easiest transition. Keagan was a really good baby, and Kinsey is even better. Keagan and I had a hard time learning how to nurse and Kinsey picked it up in a day or two. Kinsey is luckier than her brother cause her mom actually knows what she is doing this time! Physically, this recovery has been a breeze. I don't feel like I even gave birth! I am very grateful for the small blessings!!
We were able to have Karlie, Dustin and my mom come out the day after Kinsey was born. Dustin was able to stay for a few days and my mom and Karlie stayed for a week and a half. The next weekend, my dad and Travis surprised us and flew in! It was so great having my family here! I never like to see them leave.
Here are a few of my favs from the past two weeks.....

Could Keagan be any cooler? Love it!
Grandma with the girl!
First bath at home. That is the cutest face!
I love love love this pic! Keagan loves his grandpa!
Auntie Karlie! Sorry everyone, but Karlie is a clear favorite of Keagans! The morning that everyone left, Keagan searched the entire apartment for aunt Karlie! He loves her!
Uncle Trav! Travis is SOOOO good with babies! I have never seen a teenage boy loves babies more than Travis! He is the cutest uncle!
Uncle Dustin! We were so happy we got to see Dustin! We decided that his forearm is bigger than Kinsey!
Grandma and her grandkids! My mom is in heaven!
Family photo in the hospital right before we went home!
Here are some pics from the photo shoot my mom and Karlie did. The pics, of course, turned out great!




Thanks to my family for coming out and helping us! You are awesome! We can't wait to see you guys in July!!

She's here!!!

Makinsey Denise was born on May 19, 2011 at 12:37 pm. She weighed 6 lbs 8 oz and was 20 in long. She is absolutely perfect and we are so excited that she is part of our family!
It was also the EASIEST delivery ever! I had gone to the Dr the day before and was told that I was dialated to a 4 1/2. I started having strong contractions in the middle of the night and we went to the hospital at 9:30 that morning. When I got there, I was dialated to a 6. We got admitted and I got my epidural by 11:00. My Dr. had the day off that day, but she still wanted to deliver the girl. She showed up at 12:00 and said that in order for her to be able to deliver our baby, I needed to have her by 2:00. So, she checked me and said that I was complete and broke my water. This was at 12:18. She wanted me to do a "practice" push before the calvary came in the room. About 1 second into the "practice" push, she told me to stop, cause she was almost out. So they called all of the nurses in and I pushed 2 more times and she was here! She came out crying and perfect. She scored 9, 10 and 10 on her APGAR scores and the nurses said that babies never score 10's. Truly perfect!
She is the calmest baby I have ever seen. She doesn't cry. If she needs something, she lets out a little squawk, and thats it! She already sleeps through the night. I have to wake her up to feed her and then she goes right back to sleep. She is really a blessing!!

Here are some pictures from the big day!

Don't you love modern technology? I was able to skype with my family before and after the delivery! My mom, Karlie and Dustin were already planning on driving out from Utah the next day, so they were bummed that they weren't there. Skype helped it a little bit!
First picture with daddy!
Keagan wasn't sure of his little sister at first!
Liking her a little bit more...
We are so glad that Makinsey is here and is healthy! Don't worry, there will be TONS of pictures in following posts!!
