Kaylee Lyn Rime

She is finally here and is actually two weeks old today. Kaylee Lyn Rime was born on June 29th at 4:46 pm and weighed 6 pounds 15 ounces and was 19 inches long. I was actually surprised I made it until the 29th because I had been having contractions on and off for 5 days before. I was induced at 1:15 pm and got my epideral about an hour later. I was lucky to have gotten it when I did too because I was only in labor for about 3 1/2 hours. Right when the doctor was coming up to break my water, it broke on its own. My doctor checked me and I was dialated to a 10. I only pushed twice and she was out. I was so grateful that it was the easiest labor ever.

Since being home I have had a lot of problems with breastfeeding and after lots of tears and Mastitis, I am weeing. Other than that Kaylee is such a good baby and we love having her in our family. She has the loudest newborn cry ever and lets everyone know when she is hungry or that she hates her pants being changed. Lexi is still adjusting to sharing mommy and daddy with a new baby. She loves her little sister though and always wants to hold her. Lexi has been needing lots of attention however and has been pretty naughty. Luckily she is a daddy's girl lately which has allowed me more time with the baby. We are so grateful for all the love and support we have recieved from family members and friends and especially to my mother who has been up here for 2 1/2 weeks helping me with everything! Also to Stacy who gratefully watched Lexi while we had Kaylee!

We are now headed down tomorrow with my mom to the dreaded heat in Vegas for a week and a half. Jaron has to take a mortgage test so we are letting him study, sleep, and work while we go hang out with some family.
