July 17th was the big day that I impatiently awaited for almost 10 months, that day finally came and I was so excited! I was up at 3:30ish that Tuesday morning taking a shower and getting ready. We actually slept really good the night before thanks to my mom and Amber for helping us with Peyton, we were able to go to bed early and actually sleep! We got to the hospital about 4:45am to begin the inducing but were told by the nurses that we would have to wait in the lobby till 7 due to being short staffed! I was so annoyed because I didn't know what were gonna do in that lobby for 2 hours, luckily they finally called us back at 6:20. The nurse got us settled in to our room but we actually didn't start the medicine until about 8ish! My morning was pretty rough! First the nurse couldn't get the IV to work in my hand so she decided to switch hands and ended up hitting a vein on the way out and causing it to bleed everywhere! On the next hand she put it in too far and hit my bone causing the blood to go back up the tube insted of out! It was for sure a very long hour getting started! Once the medicine started working, Dr. Ogdee came in to put the internal monitor on Kendal. He tried several different times and it just wasn't working so he decided to wait till later, I was so happy when he said that! About 8:30ish he came in to break my water after that I was given my epidural. I was so relieved to be getting this by that point only to later be disappointed that it didnt completely work. The contractions got pretty bad. This was so different than with Peyton, I didn't feel a thing with her and was able to actually sit in bed and talk. With Kendal, the nurses made me lay down the whole entire time trying to get the epidural to go farther up my back! The nurse went to find someone to redo my epidural but during that time the doctor came in and said it wasn't going to happen because it was time to have this baby. I felt like I was going into an emergency surgery the way everyone was running around in complete chaos. I was very nervous at this point because Peyton's delivery was nothing like that. I am so blessed with a wonderful husband who was right by my side the entire time. In the end it was way worth all the pain though because only a few short hours after starting, 12:56pm God blessed us with our second baby girl! She was so beautiful just like her sissy! Kendal reminds me so much of Peyton sometimes it's almost scary! Not to mention both of our girls both share the 17th birthdays! We are for sure blessed to have some big healthy babies! Kendal weighed 8lbs 11oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long! The nurses and Dr. Ogdee joked that we delieverd a line backer! :) Trey and I were also blessed that his cousin Stephanie was there to get every single thing on camera! We appreciate it so much and can't wait to see the amazing pictures that she got! Mommy & Daddy were so proud to show Kendal off after her arrival. There were tons of our family members present to help us celebrate!! Shortly after the nurses came to get her to get her bath and everything checked out. I took this opportunity to eat because I was starving and man did I pig out!! :) We were later moved to our other room were we were again visited by lots of family and friends! That Wednesday we came home and immediately the running around began! First trip was to walmart to get groceries and we haven't slowed down since then! Peyton is adjusting great and is such a great big sister!! She helps all the time with diaper changes, picking out outfits and feeding her baby sister! We are loving our life with our 2 daughters and wouldn't have it any other way! They are definetly a blessing from God!!
Kendal Walton!
Our 2 beautiful baby girls! One proud big sister!
