Kynslie's first month home!

Kynslie's first week home was spent with Mama and Daddy. We had a doctors appointment and made a few trips out to our house but it was fairly quiet. Some fellow church members brought us dinner and we got to know our little girl!

Kyns's second week was spent packing for our first move. Unfortunately our house wasn't done before we had to be out of our apartment, so our first move was into a guest suit at our apartment complex. It was nice to be moving out of our apartment but would have been better if we were moving into our house:/

At the end of Kynslie's third week we were moving again :] but this time into our home!! It was a very busy first few weeks for our sweet girl but also very exciting!

The week she turned a month old, we did lots of unpacking and got her costume ready for her first Halloween!

Now without further a due Kynslie's 1st month picture overload ;]

Kynslie's Birth Story

*Before I Start this post I just want to add a little Caution note! Not that its gonna be graphic but just so everyone knows, I'm talking about my experience giving birth!! If you rather not know feel free to skip this post and wait for the next post :]

     Now that that has been said here we go! On Monday September 25 {Five days after my due date} I had a doctors appointment. I was still at a 1 maybe a 2 so our doctor stripped my membranes which was pretty painful and came with quiet a bit of blood! We then were given an induction date! If I didnt go into labor before Thursday I was scheduled to come in at 5am to Start the induction process. So we headed home to pretty much just wait. Tuesday Jubal went to work {It was his long week} and my sister {Jordan} Came over and we just hung out. I did some cleaning knowing at the very least we would have our sweet girl that weekend. However later that night I started have contractions and there were painful but I was able to sleep!
        The next morning as I finished some cleaning I noticed I still had contractions and they were gradully getting more intense. Jordan came over again and kept me company while I counted contractions. By 12 the contractions were very intense and close together, I called Jubal, while Jordan called the hospital {I wanted to make sure if I came in now I wouldn't get sent home!} By 3 pm we were in the hospital labor and delivery Triage. Where we received the awful news that I was only 2 cm dilated!! So we walked trying to get me to progress. As the contractions continued to intensive I began throwing up I was in so much pain. Because I was throwing up of coarse I got dehydrated. They started an IV, which took a really long time to actually start cause I was that dehydrated already! At 6 pm I was checked again and notified I was only at 3 cm! So we walked some more while the nurse called the Doctor to see if they would keep me. Thank the Lord they did however, I was still quiet a ways from being able to get some medicine to help with the pain! So I walked and sat on an exercise ball, doing everything I could to dilate more. Around 11:30pm -12am I got really quite trying to just breath and let my body do what it needed to. And hallelujah it did!
       By 3 am I was pain free with an epidural and at a 6! I was then able to get a few hours of sleep, preparing for delivery. At 6 am I was checked again and was a 7. Slowly but surly I was getting closer to meeting our sweet girl. By 930 I was a 10. I began pushing at 10:30 and at 10:46 am Kynslie Belle Tait was born! It was the most amazing thing I have ever done and honestly what they say is true! I don't really remember the pain! Even though I know I was in a lot of pain I can't honestly recall exactly how painful it was. So praise the Lord, I survived and We will definitely be having more children just not anytime soon :]

    That's right I've been missing in action this last month but who can blame me :] I've been getting to know my sweet girl and moving into our house!! So yes I've been missing from my blog but definitely been active. There is so much for me to catch up on I'm kinda wondering how I'll ever get all caught up! However the best place to start is always the beginning :] so I'll do a quick catch up over view then go into detail one event at a time!

     So we brought Kynslie home where she got to meet Great Grandpa and Grammie, Aunt Dana and Riley as well as quite a few church members who so graciously brought us dinner! {Which I just have to say we are very thankful for and can't wait to return the favor!!} We were in our apartment for two weeks before we moved into a guest suit at the complex. We then spent a week in the guest suit before we moved into our new house! It was such a busy three first weeks for Kynslie but she did great with all the moving and people who were there to help!

     Our first week in the house Kyns turned 1 month old!! She's just growing so fast I'm trying to keep updated on all her first and exciting moments. The very next week she celebrated her first Halloween by carving pumpkins with mama, daddy and Aunt Jordan {She actually slept through most of the process haha} and also going trick or treating with Auntie Shae as a ghost!{She got daddy quiet a bit of candy!!} Now here is where I would normally insert the super cute pictures to match all these sweet first moments however they are either on my phone or haven't been uploaded yet -_- the busy life of a stay at home mama ;] So I promise when I do a post of each event they will be complete with pictures for you to ooh and ahh at!

     This last weekend we went to Jubal's company get together at Shnef farms and enjoyed some carnival rides and yummyBBQ! It was still a little warm :\ but over all we had a good time with Shaelee and Quintin. Kynslie was also dedicated at church on Sunday and wore an adorable knit dress that was actually made by my great Aunt Sugar's mother!! Crazy right, I was super appreciative that She thought of my sweet girl and sent it to us all the way from Texas.

     So that's been our crazy life the last month and a half, but I'll do more detailed post in the weeks to come! I'm hoping to get caught up before Thanksgiving. Keep your finger crossed :] Promise another {detailed} update soon!!
