Sisters

Hopefully these two will be best friends one day. That is what I hope for anyways. Everyone asks how Shelby is doing adjusting to having a baby around. Luckily she is doing pretty well. She acts occasionally (especially when daddy is gone) to get attention I am sure, but it isn't too bad. She is always checking on "sissy" and wants to see where she is. The only thing that gets a tad bit annoying is that she has to be in her face non stop, she gets really close to her face and wants to touch her a lot. Our peditrician warned us that the second children tend to be sicker than the first, especially if the first is in daycare because they always want to be touching them and getting up in their faces and we know that toddlers have lots of germs! Kelsey is sleeping fairly well. Up every 3-4 hours at night. Eats every 2-3 hours during the day. SHe is starting to stay awake more during the day too. I go back to work November 2nd and both girls will be going to a new daycare together then. We are sad to pull Shelby out of her current daycare but we have no choice.

Kelsey Rae

Kelsey Rae decided to make her appereance a few days before her scheduled c-section. I went into labor rather quickly on Friday, July 31st. Between 9 and 10:00 pm, my contractions went from almost none to 3-5 minutes apart, in a matter of an hour. We got to the hospital around 11:30 and Kelsey was born by c-section at 12:42 am. I was 3cm and 90% effaced when we got to the hospital and the contractions had me crawling up the bed they hurt so bad. I was never so happy to see that spinal! She was 8lbs 6oz and 19 1/2" long. She is a porker and loves to eat!
