Kylie Luanne was born at 4:45 pm at home on July 12th. 7lbs 12oz, 21 inches. Bigger than I had expected.. I told Alex to weigh her again b/c I thought the scale was off but turn out to be the same after 3 times. lol.. I thought she was a 6lb'er. Carried her smaller than Carson and she even looks smaller than Carson when he was born! Maybe its just that its been too long ago that I forgot.. :) Anyway, I hope to get a birth story posted on here sometime this week. Had an interesting ending.. we ended up not lighting the candles from Blessing Way celebration(I did have on my labor necklace the whole time!) or videotaping it... :( It all happened to fast at the end!! I even had her over the toilet too!! I had the bedroom(video camera and bed) set up to have her on the bed but the bathroom was my favorite place to be.. which turned out to be a good thing b/c it was easier to clean the floor in bathroom than bedroom carpet.. Again.. i will post that stuff on my birth story for more further explanation.. but i'm having uterus contraction pains so need to get off this chair.. Kylie is sound asleep on the boppy pillow around me.. She's making it all easy at the moment! :)
I only have one picture of Kylie on the computer.. We will have more posted another time.. Her face is looking better today, not so bruised or swelled up like yesterday so.. hopefully we get some good pics of the kids today.. Wow.. i can say KIDS now... too weird! I thought i'd be saying... BOYS instead... its ok, Kylie is a perfect addition to our family and we couldn't be more proud! Daddy is so happy its a girl!! He was hoping for a girl ever since we found out we were pregnant but assumed it was a boy just b/c i thought there was a higher chance for a boy but I'm proven that theory is not true.. You know how they say, if you want a boy, conceive when you ovulate and if you want a girl, conceive a few days before you ovulate.... I know my cycle well!! Its whatever God gives you!!
Thank you everyone for your prayers and thoughts while I was in labor!

yay!!!! i'm so excited for you guys! i can't wait to meet her!
Hah! I must go find this birth story! Sounds very similar to mine - no time to video tape or be where I originally planned to birth; I practically had my son on the toilet and clean-up was a breeze... can't wait to read all of your experience in context! UC is amazing isn't it!?! I'm so glad to have found yet another Christian UCer! God bless ya!
