Kyle's Birth






Kyle was born on February 16, 2007 (one week before his due date) at 10:36 am.

He weighed 8 pounds, 5 ounces!

I had a scheduled C-section. We arrived at the hospital at 8:30 am, I walked into the operating room at 10:10, and Kyle was born 26 minutes later!!

Chloe was able to watch Kyle get his first bath. She seemed to know a little of what was going on, but I am still not sure how much she understood being that her 2nd birthday was not until the next Friday.

I fed Kyle for the first time at 12:00 pm that day. I had to have some help with Kyle latching on, but it was fine after awhile.

The medication hit me much harder this time, and I had a hard time staying awake at times. I fell asleep a few times right in the middle of conversations. I remember Rachel being there, and she and I had a long talk. The next day, I had to admit to her that I had no idea what we talked about and asked her if I made any kind of sense.....She seemed to not know how out of it I was.

We went home on Monday, February 19, 2007.

Chloe enjoyed having her little brother home.  She is a great big sister!
