All About my Second Baby

Since Kennady is 6 months old and it has flown by I wanted to fill this out for myself before I forget too much!
1. WAS YOUR PREGNANCY PLANNED?: Not really. We were hoping to have the girls about 2 years apart so it was a little early, BUT what can ya do! Bring it on baby!
2. WERE YOU MARRIED AT THE TIME?: Yes almost 4 years.3. WHAT WERE YOUR REACTIONS?: What the what?!? haha no I was surprised, but it wasn't anything like your first. At least you kind of know what to expect and it was something we knew we wanted eventually so we just got over the fact that "eventually" came a little early :)
Side note I thought, "Sweet. One period in over two years. I'm not complaining!"

5. HOW OLD WERE YOU?: 23
6. HOW DID YOU FIND OUT YOU WERE PREGNANT?: We were on vacation in San Diego and I felt like crap. Nothing sounded good, not even our beloved Taco Surf, and I had been throwing up. SO we went and got a pregnancy test, I kind of already knew it would be positive cause I just felt it, but was in denial. It was the kind that said Pregnant or Not Pregnant. Well I took it and indeed it said Pregnant!

The test is hidden under my arm!

7. WHO DID YOU TELL FIRST?: Sorry AGAIN Mom, but it was Katie AGAIN (after Shane of course) I told her in the bathroom of the condo at San Diego.
8. DID YOU WANT TO FIND OUT THE SEX?: DUH! We cannot NOT find out. We're too impatient.
9. DUE DATE?: January 24, 2009
10. DID YOU HAVE MORNING SICKNESS?: Nah. I was fine this one.
11. WHAT DID YOU CRAVE?: Onion Rings for the first little while. Then it was Pace Picante salsa. I ALWAYS felt like chips and salsa.
12. WHO/WHAT IRRITATED YOU THE MOST?: I honestly don't remember. I probably was a beast at times, but I don't remember getting all crazy. You should ask Shane :)
13. WHAT WAS YOUR CHILD'S SEX?: GIRLY GIRL. That's how we role apparently.
14. DID YOU WISH YOU HAD THE OPPOSITE SEX OF WHAT YOU WERE GETTING?: Nope. Of course we would love a boy, but since the babies would be close together we thought it would be fun if it was another little girl!
15. HOW MANY POUNDS DID YOU GAIN?: I gained 31.6 lbs to be exact!
16. DID YOU HAVE BABY SHOWERS?: Nah. It was another girl and she was my second. Maybe if we EVER have a boy people will "shower" me again!
17. WAS IT A SURPRISE OR DID YOU KNOW?: I knew I wasn't having any :)
18.DID YOU HAVE ANY COMPLICATIONS DURING YOUR PREGNANCY?: Just that dreaded heartburn! BUT this time I was prepared and started poping antacid pills right from the start!
19. WHERE DID YOU GIVE BIRTH?: At Orem Community Hospital.

20. HOW MANY HOURS WERE YOU IN LABOR?: 3 1/2 hours, and that is only because I had to wait 30 minutes for my Doctor.
21. WHO DROVE YOU TO THE HOSPITAL?: My Mommy, who happens to be the best!
22. WHO WATCHED YOU GIVE BIRTH?: Shane, my Mom and Katie
23. WAS IT NATURAL OR C-SECTION?: Natural. I had gone to see Twilight with my Mom and Stina. We got home about midnight and then I went to bed. I woke up about 3:00 am because my stomach hurt and I threw up. It sucked. Just as I felt like I was getting back to sleep and feeling ok my water broke. I was like, "Seriously." I was kind of a brat and laid in bed like, "I am going to get some rest dang it." That was a bad idea because that was at 4:00 am and by the time I was driving to the hospital at like 5:00 am I was already contracting every mintute. I was a 5 when I got to the hospital and was having contractions on top of contractions. After I fianlly got my epideral I was so happy and sadly so drugged. I didn't mind because I couldn't feel a thing and was SO happy :) I even called my brother-in-law to chat. He said I sounded delerious :) They checked me again at like 7 am and I was ready, but they told me to roll to the side because we had to wait for my doctor. She came, I think I pushed like 3 times; didn't even feel like I was doing it good, and then they said she was almost here. I seriously felt like I was dreaming, and then there was Kennady in my arms. It was so easy this time. It sounds awful that I was drugged and all that but after Kaylee's birth this was a blessing. I was way tired after though, but I am fine with that versus the alternative. Kennady was retracting a little when she breathed becuase she was 3 weeks early so they watched her for a bit. Then later they decided to give her some antibitotics as a percaution because I had the beta-strep thing. She of course ended up being totally ok after just a bit and so went home a few days later. She had a little trouble eating at first, because she was early and didn't get the sucking thing down, but is fine now and has the thunder thighs to prove it!

The day before I gave birth. I look so happy

24. DID YOU TAKE MEDICINE TO EASE THE PAIN?: HECK YES! I was already dilated to a 3 1/2 for a week so once my water broke it started fast and hard core. I said. "Drugs please" the second I walked in the door and anxiously awaited the epideral. When the anestegioligist finally came and gave me my 3 doses (they had to because I was far along and they wanted i tto work for me) and they kicked in I was on cloud 9!! haha
25. HOW MUCH DID YOUR CHILD WEIGH?: 6 lbs 13 oz 19 in
26. WHEN WAS YOUR CHILD ACTUALLY BORN?: January 4, 2009.
27. WHAT DID YOU NAME YOUR CHILD?: Kennady Lynn. We liked the name Kennady when we had Kaylee, but Kaylee won. This time it was between Kennady and Claire. We decided on Kennady and then Lynn because that is my mom's middle name and Shane's dads' name.
28. ANY SIBLINGS? Kaylee Christine is the proud big sister. She has loved Kennady since they day she met her. She has always showered her with hugs and kisses. She is a wonderful big sister and she loves her Kenny very much!
