Little Miss Kamry

It has now been two weeks, exactly, since our little girl come into our little family. It has been a very busy, but not so busy two weeks. It all started on July 1st when I had a routine doctor's appointment. Everything looked normal until Dr.Cox measured my stomach, and I was measuring smaller than the week previous. He ordered an ultrasound within 20 minutes and before the ultrasound Mike and I were already preparing ourselves to have the baby within the next couple of days, because of our history with Carter. It was almost the exact same experience as Carter just two weeks further into my pregnancy. That afternoon we tried to wait patiently for the Labor and Delivery to have a room for us, apparently every pregnant woman in Pocatello decided to have their baby and the same day. We didn't get a call until about 2:30 in the morning. Carter was all settled at Grandpa Williams so we grabbed our stuff and head up to the hospital. We were all checked in, IV started and monitors on by about 3 then the very nice nurse told us to try and get some sleep. However, she failed to turn down the heart beat monitor and it was extremely loud and then at about 4:30 the monitor ran out of paper and every thirty seconds there was a obnoxious beep to remind the nurse to change it. I am not very good at sleeping in hospital anyway, but this night was particularly hard.
        When morning finally came Dr.Cox came around about 8:30 and broke my water. Then things picked up. I asked for my epidural at about 1 then it was smooth sailings. Right before 5 my nurse that I had had since the morning checked me and said I was very close. At 5 my nurses shift was over and she introduced me to my new nurse. I think my new nurse had other people to check on and did not understand how close I was because she came around at about 5:15 and checked me and her eyes got really big and she said, "I think I should call Dr.Cox, this baby is going to walk out." She call my doctor and came back in and started to get things ready. Dr.Cox came in about 5:18 the nurse asked me to try a practice push and as I pushed everyone in the room said stop, don't push, because Dr.Cox was not yet ready to literally catch the baby. He then turned around and I started to laugh because he was smiling and trying to hurry so fast then I laughed again, and there was my beautiful baby girl. Dr.Cox didn't quite have enough time to get his gloves on. It was a very quick and funny delivery and the nurse as she was leaving said "I have never had anyone laugh their baby out."

The Fourth of July!
Mike has been working so hard on our yard this year and it had paid off it looks great!

We went to breakfast the morning of the fourth and then we drove around to look for the parade not really expecting to see it we found a perfect spot about 10 feet away from the parade. Carter and I were able to walk up and get some candy while Mike stayed in the air conditioned car with Kamry. Carter thought the parade was pretty sweet and loved all the horses and loud trucks and of course the candy. 



 We went to Dad Williams house for the fireworks! The wind was really bad so the Fireworks didn't actually start until about 11, which was really sad because Carter fell asleep and would not wake up for anything not even for the amazing fireworks. However, we were able to see people lighting off illegal fireworks which he loved. Kamry slept peacefully as well. It took a while to get home after the fireworks, but it was a perfect Fourth!


My parents came down on the July 5th and took us to lunch then watched the kiddos while Mike and I were able to go shopping and get some errands done. It was very nice to get out and get things done.

Andrea, Melia, Brooklyn (holding Kamry) and Sarah. My sisters came to Pocatello to go to Ross park and see Kamry. It was perfect because I was able to take Carter and go swimming with them while Mike, being the awesome husband that he is, watched Kamry. It was a lot of fun and the girls loved meeting their new cousin!
Chelsea loves holding Kamry and the fact that there are more girl cousins!
 
It has been such a crazy two weeks. It has been interesting to transition from one little munchkin to two. I feel truly happy and blessed to have our little girl here, safe and healthy. I will try to be better about blogging, but like I said I am now busy with two.
 



Kamry is so sweet and we absolutely love her so much! We would like to thank all of our friends and family for their support and love!
