Happy St. Patricks Day

The Story

I promised that I would post about Emily's arrival so here it is:

I started having contractions the night before Valentines Day but it was nothing consistent and all day Sunday they were still there. By 9:00 that night we decided to go to the hospital just in case. I was already a week past due and was suppose to be induced that Tuesday, so we figured if they sent us home then it would just be a couple of days.

We got settled into the hospital around 10:30 and after an hour of walking they decided to keep us there. Luckily my Dr had just flown in from Hawaii and was on call that night. I decided to get an epidural when I was dilated at a 6 and about 20 minutes later it was already time to push. Everyone was shocked at how fast things went. The Dr was planning on delivering around 7:30 a.m. and she came around 2:30 a.m.

Everything went really great and was much easier then I was imagining. We were really lucky. Recovery was not bad at all and she has been a great baby. We are just now getting into a schedule and she has been sleeping about 6 hours straight for the past few nights. We did start her sleeping in our room but she talks so much in her sleep, no one was getting any rest, so since we moved her to her room and my mom and sister bought her a nap nanny, she has been sleeping great, and so have we!

We have had so many amazing people stop by, bring us dinner and gifts the last couple of weeks. We have felt very loved. Our families have been amazing as always and Travis and has been a great support for me. It was so nice to have him home for two weeks, and we miss him so much now that he is back at work. He is in love with his little girl and she already has him wrapped around her finger!

She is a real blessing and we are so lucky to have our Emily. We just love her so much already.

New Pictures

Here are a few pictures that I took of Emily the other day! I think they turned out pretty cute, but it helps when you have a good model!

She's Here!!!

We are so excited to announce that Emily Clare Kaeding was born on February 15th! She was a big girl at 8 pounds 7 ounces and 21.5 inches long.

(I promise they are not kissing! But Hudson does love his new baby sister.)

I just wanted to post some quick pics for everyone and then do a big post later about everything.

We think she is so amazing and the best baby in the world!

My Amazing Brother!

The Nursery

BEFORE

AFTER

As you can tell the room was originally Hudson's, he has now moved onto a bigger and better room. The nursery is almost complete, we still have to hang pictures on the wall once she comes. Also my amazing sister made all my crib bedding and is still working on the quilt and a few pillows. I wish you could all see it in person because she did a wonderful job. I owe her big time. Travis and my dad put a lot of hours into it as well, I wish I could have been more help, but at that point I was only good for supervising.

I love the room and cant wait for our baby to get here and enjoy it too.
