Kamri Ruth

Kamri Ruth
May 14, 2008
8 lbs 10 oz
20 inches
12:36am
She finally made it here! I went into labor tuesday night (the 13th) and wasn't sure if I was in labor or not. Bracken was trying to convince me we needed to go to the hospital but I was thinking it would die down. My water broke after only 20 minutes of contractions and that convinced me we needed to go! We got to the hospital around 10:40 and I was at an 8. When the doctor got there I was a 9 but she was breech. So off to have another C-Section. I was dissapointed about that, but I guess at least I wasn't in labor for that long! We have a happy, healthy little girl and I couldn't ask for anything more!
She'll be a week old tomorrow, it goes by so fast! She so far she has been a great baby. I do wish she knew that night was for sleep and daytime was for being awake but we'll get that switched eventually. Last night she was wide awake from 11pm to 2 am but when she finally did fall asleep at 2 she slept for 5 1/2 hours! I can't complain about that! I think I'd rather have a longer block of sleeping time, even if it isn't until 2.
My parents came and picked Hayes up on Saturday and took him down to Cedar. He'll be there until Friday. I miss him so much but it has been so nice to be able to recover and not worry about me not being able to do stuff for him. I am sure he is having so much fun being spoiled down there too!
Thanks so much to Kade & Katie for meeting us at the hospital to take Hayes for the night, Paul & Denise for watching Hayes while we were in the hospital and my parents for taking him this week. The ladies in my ward have been so awesome and have spoiled us with a week of meals. I feel so blessed to have such a wonderful family and friends to support me. Most importantly I feel so blessed to have Hayes, Kamri and my awesome husband Bracken who has done everything for me this week! I love you all!
If any of you are close by feel free to drop in and see our new baby girl.

There is a slideshow at the bottom of the blog of more pictures. Some of them are kind of fuzzy. I thought our cameras flash was going crazy or something. I realized a little too late that they are blurry because Hayes was playing with the camera at the hospital and got his fingerprints all over the lens.

Skye,
Kamri is almost as cute in the photos as she is in person! I can't believe the ones with her thumb in her mouth. She is a lucky girl to have you for a Mom, and as time goes by (all to quickly), she will learn that more and more.
