Baby Blessing

We wanted my family to be here when we blessed Kelsey so on July 28th, two weeks after she was born we had her baby blessing and we were lucky enough to have a lot of our friends and family join us for that special day.

On the way to her 2 week check up. She weighed 8 lbs 12 oz (50%) and was 21 3/4 " long (90%)

Her favorite position to sleep. She is such a cuddeler!

With Grandma Hardy

She always has her hands up by her face so we had to put these gloves on her so she wouldnt scratch up her face!

Her favorite position again! Sleeping on mom.

My Beautiful Baby!

Kelsey's Arrival!

Our little girl is finally here!

July 8th I went in for one of my regular check ups. I was 4 cm dilated and 80% effaced but since I wasn't having any real contractions she sent me home telling me that if I started having any to call right away. I went back to work but by lunch time I was having pretty consistant back pain. I waited 30 mins and called Sean and my doctor. We went back in and she decided to admit me. We drove to the hospital,were going to have our baby!!

Ready to go at 28 Weeks 1 Day

Contractions 2 mins apart, right before they broke my water.

I was admitted at 1 pm. I walked around trying to get things going. Finally (after almost sending me home)They broke my water and I got my epidural at about 5 pm. By 4:30 a.m. I was 10 cms and ready to push. My wonderful OBGYN waited around and stayed on her day off to deliver our baby. She got there and I pushed for about 30 mins. At 5:12 a.m Kelsey Neumann was born, 8 lbs 3 oz. and 21 inches long!
