I was induced and baby Kate STILL wouldn't hurry up! The doctor decided to break my water and that really got the ball rolling! My labor lasted 7 hours and 40 minutes and I pushed for 1 hour. I have to say that the Lord was amazing through the whole situation! It's an experience I will never forget! I was more comfortable than I ever thought I'd be. The labor and delivery was a piece of cake compared to the recovery! I would much rather do the L&D over again, before I'd do the recovery! I was very uncomfortable for weeks, but I slowly made improvements and eventually was able to get around on my own. Thankfully we had lots of help from family and friends! Kate has been an amazing baby thus far! Here are some little tidbits about her!
She has a head full of dark brown hair and it sticks straight up, just like her daddy!
She has been very alert since the second she was born! Even the doctor and nurses were shocked!
She seriously never even cried while we were at the hospital. Not even after delivery!
Her first expression she made was poking her bottom lip out!
She LOVES getting her diaper changed and taking a bath!
She's slept through the night since she was 3 weeks! She slept 4 1/2 hours the first night after she was born!
When we stick her ears out, she looks just like Hank!
She's been able to hold her head up since birth!
Kate is now almost 4 months old. She is so perfect and fits right in with us! We love her so much and are so blessed! She is now able to roll over from her belly to her back, almost able to sit up by herself, and stand up while we hold her hands! She also has the cutest laugh! She's such a smiley baby and I love it!
I'm home with her every day and Hank works 50-60 hours a week. It's tough at times, but the Lord has been so great to us. Please continue to pray for us as we seek to find out what is the next step for our lives. Hank does want to get his masters and he is looking for a full-time pastor position. Ideally we'd like to stay here in the area so that he can work on his masters, but we are open to whatever the Lord wants.
Well, Kate is napping and I better get some stuff done before she wakes up! Again, I'm so sorry for the delay in this post! Here are some pics from delivery and the past couple months!
