Happy 2nd Birthday Princess!!

July 16th 2009...The day I met the love of my life.

It all started on July 15th 2009. I was due to be induced  later that night. Kaleigh however, had different plans. Around 1:00pm Brentton decided to go out and clean the car while I lay in bed and attempted to rest. Keep in mind at this time I was 41 WEEKS PREGNANT! Need I say more... I got up to use the bathroom and my water started leaking!! I immediately called Brentton and he rushed home. I was scared, nervous and most of all, I just wanted to take a bath..hahaha We called the Dr and he told us to go straight to the hospital! As we waited in triage, a woman beside us was holding the smallest baby I had ever seen. Just chillin' in the the triage holding area? Strange..anyways little did I know MY baby would be double the size of that tiny little girl. I will spare you the nasty details of the labor process and put it this way; The Dr. was very inexperienced and hadn't done an ultrasound since I was around 22 weeks pregnant. We had NO CLUE how big our baby was going to be. They did come in to my room that night, felt of my stomach and said, "Oh, this baby is probably of average size, no need to worry!" Well, I don't mean to be hateful but I'm pretty sure the doctors working with me that day skipped a few classes in med school. hahaha, this is true! 24 hours passed and still NO KALEIGH...I was begging for a C-section and was mentally and physically exhausted. At that point, I came down with a fever and they quickly realized I had an infection from my water being broken more that 24 hours. I was scared for myself and my baby. Her heart beat was dropping and I was so panicked that I couldn't even focus long enough to breath. I don't know what I would have done if DiAnne wasn't in there with me. She was the only one who kept me focused. 28 hours later Kaleigh came into the world. I didn't hear her cry and I didn't get to hold her. She was quickly taken away and a crowd of doctors and nurses surrounded her. I closed my eyes and prayed........

Please God, don't take my baby away from me.

Kaleigh had a rough delivery as did I. She was in the birth canal a long time, the cord was wrapped around her neck twice and she was having trouble breathing.

She cried. I cried. I'm pretty sure we all were crying...

At 5:32pm we welcomed a Beautiful Baby Girl

She weighed 9lbs 1.4oz & 21" long
