Introducing...

At the doctor's appointment on Monday morning, her due date, the doctor scheduled an induction for Wednesday.

Tuesday night Lee and I finished up the shirt project.

Big brother, big sister, and little sister shirts.

Wednesday morning the kids got ready for school and we got ready to go to the hospital.

Almost ready for school. Ready to meet Kayla.

Jessica and Clay were in town for her brother's mission farewell. We lucked out and got to use them as babysitters for the day! I gave Jess a copy of the kids schedule for the day and left her to get the girls ready for the bus.

We checked in at the hospital at 7:20am.

We were ready to meet Kayla too.

They started the pitocin at 8:30am. Then broke my water about 10:30am. My doctor had a meeting to go to, so she came and checked on me before she headed to her meeting, to see how it was going. The nurse told her not to leave. Kayla was born at 12:08pm.
