Baby Girl

Kylie Reese, born May 7, 2010, weighing 7 lbs. 12 oz., and 20 inches long.

We went in to the hospital for a 7:30 am induction (actually arrived about 7:45--surprise, surprise), hoping for a quick labor and delivery. Didn't happen! She was high up in the birth canal and didn't want to come down. After turning sideways a couple different times, requiring a little extra love and attention from Dr. Hasket, (and succeeding at making things a little more difficult), and after patiently waiting for her to make her move, she finally decided to join us about 4:30 pm.
Everything was good at first, but then after several hours, for some reason, her oxygen levels started going down. However, after a round of antibiotics, and a couple extra days in the NICU for monitoring, she got to come home. And wouldn't you know it, the night before coming home she got a little jaundiced. So we got to bring home the "lights" for her to sleep under. Wow, how many girls can say they spent the first week of their life on a tanning bed? What a lucky girl!
And speaking of lucky....I'm a fortunate man to have such an amazing wife, incredible family, and a new, beautiful, and healthy baby girl!
