I have not posted in quite some time as I was busy getting ready for our new addition, Kinley Olivia Kelley. Finally last Saturday, October 17th, she was born at 4:55 p.m. I was five days overdue and was induced.
I must admit that I struggled a bit near the end, just not knowing when she was coming (I had hoped with this being my third that she might actually be early, but she was late). I was so relieved when my doctor decided on a date to induce.
The labor and delivery itself was quite smooth; I feel fortunate that I've had three good birth experiences. My parents were also able to be here for an extended period of time, which was invaluable help with the older two kids and around the house.
Since we have brought Kinley home, Terry and I both have just been so thankful and loving the experience. I reminded him that he wasn't convinced a third was a good idea, and now he's talking about a fourth! (I give that a few more weeks to die away.)
I am determined to post more now since Facebook is only pictures, and I'm sure there will be stories to tell in the near future. Stay tuned...
