Kinlynn Marie

Kinlynn Marie entered this world on February 15 at 12:35pm. She weighed 7 pounds 14.2 ounces and was 19 inches long with a head of 14 inches. Thank goodness I had a c-section! We are doing good. She is a great baby that has yet to wake me up in the middle of the night to eat, I am having to do the waking. Lexyn and Brittyn are pretty good big sisters but they are having a little trouble adjusting 100%.


Last pregnancy picture - 39 weeks and very swollen!


Out of the OR and finally calmed enough that I could hold her



Short chunky girl was the words from the doctors mouth when he pulled her out!






Headed home. It was quite different leaving the hospital this time.



I will post more pictures soon of the girls meeting their baby sister for the first time. They were too sick to come to the hospital so they didn't get to meet her until we came home Thursday night.

Pregnancy update!

I know it's about time! I am way behind on blogging and can't seem to find the time or energy, but I wanted to get these last 2 pregnancy pictures up before I head into the hospital tomorrow morning!!! Yes, I have finally come to the day of my scheduled c-section. Tomorrow, February 15th, I will be 39 weeks. That is exactly 10 weeks more than when I delivered the girls. Feels like an accomplishment, although it was a miserable one! We have to be at the hospital at 9:30 and I am scheduled for 11:30.

The excitement, anxiousness, emotional feelings haven't quite kicked in. That is probably because not only am I worn out and hurting from the pregnancy but the girls and I have been very sick since last Thursday. Lexyn and Brittyn are on antibiotics for sinus infections and Lexyn has an ear infection with blisters inside her ear, poor baby! They started it all with terrible coughs, runny and stuffy noses and fever. By Friday night Lexyn was running 104 temp and screaming every hour that her ear hurt. I have the same terrible cough and runny/stuffy nose and no voice. Today is the first day neither of them has run a fever but the cough and noses are so bad they won't be able to come to the hospital to see Kinlynn. That makes me sad to think about because it also means I won't get to see them for 2 nights.

Once we get home and settled I will blog with lots of pictures, and hopefully start to catch up on the past 3 weeks of fun we have had!

Snow storm of 2011

I am very behind on blogging! The end of this pregnancy isn't getting the best of me and my energy. Plus we have been pretty busy. On January 9th we got a big snow storm, big for where we live in Central Arkansas. We ended up getting a total of 7 inches. We had a blast playing in it for 2 days. The girls LOVED sledding. We drove into my parents house the second day and sled down their big hills.






Ben measured how deep it was on Sunday night while it was still snowing. We actually got another inch through the night.











Brittyn, the first time she went out in the snow.
