Yay, my little girl finally got here on November 4th at 5:07 pm. her weight was 7 lbs 4 oz and she was 19 inches long. My due date was the 8th, but we decided to be induced a little early because I was walking around dilated to a five and nothing was happening. Being induced is nice too because it makes planning things like having someone watch Colton easier. Weldon’s parents watched him that day and he stayed the night with them too. He had a ball just hanging out with Monie and Papa and got to go shopping and got a new hat and shoes too. Weldon’s Mom said that when Kaci was born and we texted them a picture of her that Colton didn’t want to give her phone back so she printed the picture out and gave it to him on paper. They said that he kept looking at the picture and smiling and dancing around the living room with it. He was pretty excited.
Labor went good, they had me walk for two hours to see if we could get something started, and we did because I dilated to a seven on my own but the contractions were irregular so they decided to put me on petocin (sp?) to induce me and make the contractions regular. I got my epidural at the same time, not because I was feeling any discomfort (because other then being nine months pregnant and feeling like a beached whale) I didn’t hurt, but because I knew that at some point it would, because babies sure don’t take an easy way to get here!!! Any way, it all went pretty fast after that and when it came time to push I pushed with two contractions and out she popped! it was great especially considering with Colton I was in hard labor (pushing) for two and a half hours!
We named her Kaci Dale. Kaci because it is cute and it sounds good with Colton, and Dale because that is my dad’s middle name. She is so cute and sweet and Colton loves her! He is always trying to help out and he hates to hear her cry. If she starts to cry and we don’t respond as fast as he thinks we should he will come and grab us by the hand and take us over too her. It is pretty cute, he also thinks that she needs her pacifier in her mouth at all times, even if she is being quite or asleep. I really have to watch him because he will try to put it in her mouth for her. He is doing better though where he will just bring it to me instead. He is such a little helper. I love both of my super cute angel babies!! Weldon has been great too. I don’t think I could handle it with out him and I feel so bad for all of those single parents out there, that has got to be so hard!
Other then this there isn’t much new in our lives, but that is ok because we are busy enough right now, but loving every single exhausted minute of it!! Here are some pictures:
This next one is of Colton giving Kaci kisses for the first time.

Anyway we are pretty excited to have her here, plus she has hair, and poor Colton is almost two and he is still super bald. I was worried she would be too, but nope she has a fuzzy little head!
