Kaylie Joanne Butler

My niece was born on Saturday March 7th at 6:20 am weighing 6lbs 5oz 19 3/4 inches long with a full head of dark hair, big full lips and chubby cheeks. Kaylie was 5 weeks early but all of the doctors said she looked and acted like a full term baby. Everyone gets to go home tomorrow morning! PRAISE GOD!

Carrie was induced Friday morning at 930. By 9 that night she had her water broken. At three am she got her epidural. At 5 am her epidural sent her into excruciating pain. Since she had been on bedrest for almost a month the nerves in her back were bunched together and really tight so when the epidural delivered more medicine to her it sent those nerves into spasms. Since Carrie was in so much pain they decided to do an emergency c-section within the hour. Mom and I got to say goodbye to her as they wheeled her away. She came back an hour and a half later feeling tired but ok. They sent kaylie up to NICU for about 6 hours to be observed and checked out then she got to come downstairs for some food and quality time with mama and dad. Me and the rest of my family got to see her around 230.

Holding her for the first time was like nothing I have ever experienced before. I am absolutely head over heels in love with this little girl. She is my obsession :)

Carrie asked me to stay the night in the hospital with them the first night so that she and chris could get some sleep while I sat up with kaylie. It was great to have the little time with her. I got the privelege of changing her first poopy diaper. She tooted so loud it was hilarious. She also almost peed on me. She chose to wait till i had the diaper almost off until she peed. Luckily i blocked it.

She is such a good baby, rarely cries and if she does its because she's uncovered or she can't find her hands. She loves her mama and daddy and recognizes their voices immediately. When she just wants to let people know she's here she makes these cute little whimpering noises that are really high pitched and adorable.When her eyes are opened she is really responsive and alert to things around her. Her favorite places to be are against her mama or her daddy's chest.

I think she's the funniest, smartest, most beautiful baby girl in the whole world :)
