Kynlee's Birth Story

I had a doctors appointment Monday December 27th where I was hoping to talk to him about inducing sometime soon. We had talked earlier about getting induced on the 28th but it would all depend on how far I had progressed. Well I was still at a 1.5 and figured he would make me wait longer but he ended up asking me when I wanted to have this baby. I said as soon as possible so he put me in the hospital that evening! We started on Cervidil at 8pm and I got a sleeping aid that knocked me out minutes after I took it. I woke up around 3:30am feeling uncomfortable contractions. It was my goal to try to go as far as I could without getting an epidural. By 8am the contractions were very painful they checked me and I was only at a two! It was extremely disheartening and I continued for another hour in a half with I had had enough. I let the nurse know I wanted the epidural and the anesthesiologist was there a few minutes later. Getting the epidural was the best decision I could have made! My body was able to relax and my contractions were a lot more effective since I wasn't fighting them and by noon I was fully dilated and completely effaced. They called my doctor and he was there by 12:20 I began pushing and at 12:46 I found out that the little person growing in my body was a beautiful blonde haired girl. We named her Kynlee Jean Theobald.

I can't believe how quickly it went and how completely painless it was. I was able to push effectively and I could feel the contractions. It was completely wonderful and baby Kynlee is such a sweet addition to our family. We are just smitten by her and I can't imagine my life without her.
