I just thought I'd give a few more details about when Kaylie was born. Everything went very smoothly and this was the shortest and easiest delivery for me. Rylee was the hardest and then I thought Ashlyn was pretty easy. But this was even easier.
I had gone to the doctor on Monday, the 16th, and I wasn't dilated or anything. So he asked if I could wait another week since nothing was happening naturally. I said yes. It was sad to make an appointment for after my due date, which was Friday, the 20th, but I wanted her to come whenever she wanted. I haven't been induced, so I was a little scared of that anyway.
Then on Tuesday night about 10:00 just after I put the girls to bed, I thought I started to feel contractions. With each pregnancy I worried about not knowing if it was really labor or not. So I told Matt I thought I was in labor but nothing major yet. So we kind of just laid in bed and talked and I had contractions. (No sleep) Finally as they got worse around 1:00 I decided we should go in. I started packing (I know- I should have been packed!) and getting things ready. I called my mom to see if she could stay with the girls, but my dad had just gotten off work and still awake I guess so he said he would come over.
So we went into the hospital at 2:00 and I was dilated to a 5. By this time I thought I was going to die with each contraction. But fortunately by 3:00 I had my epidural and everything was great! (Side note: as the nurse was asking me questions about my history and everything, she asked if I worked and where. I told her school district 91 and she asked if I was a teacher at Edgemont. Her daughter is going to be in my class next year- kind of crazy!) So then they just told us to wait a few hours. I had my epidural, so I was really ok with that! I just laid there with my eyes closed. (Still no sleep) Then the doctor got there around 7:00. I pushed a few times and she was born at 7:14 AM. So from start to finish, labor was just over 9 hours. I can't complain! As soon as she came out everyone said look at that red hair. She doesn't have a lot, but it is definitely red. So we have a brunette, blonde, and red-head. We'll see if it stays that way.
We love our little Kaylie and are so blessed to have her in our family.

At the Hospital
She's holding on to her binky in the hole.
Oma
Rylee and Ashlyn seeing her for the first time- they were so happy!
Awww- Rylee takes such good care of her little sisters.
I don't think Ashlyn stopped smiling the whole time at the hospital!
And Rylee didn't want to let go!
Grandma
The girls.
The girls had a lot of fun playing in the cupboards and on the doctor's stool and anything else they could get away with.

First Day of Swimming Lessons
All ready to go.
We had to take pictures inside because it was raining
and I wasn't even sure they would get in the water.
Ashlyn was so excited.
She was upset that she didn't get to go last year,
so she's been waiting for this for a year.
Ashlyn is in a class with Mercedes and her friend, Ryan.
Ryan didn't want to get in today though, so hopefully he will tomorrow.
She was all smiles the whole time.
She was ready to try whatever the teachers wanted her to do.
They both got to play Fishy in the Basket.
Here's Rylee as the fishy in the basket.
And here she is under the water to get out.
So fun!
Hopefully we don't have any more rainy days though!
I had to take pictures today because who knows when this baby is coming.
I went to the doctor and nothing is happening,
so it may be longer than I would like.
The due date is Friday so we'll see!
