Introducing our new addition......Kylee Christine Nielsen









We are so excited that she is finally here. Well she's been here about a month now, but I'm just now posting it. She is a beautiful little girl, and we love her so much. Just an recount for those that haven't heard how she's doing, and how everything went. Well, to start off, I woke up about 12:30 am, with some slightly strong contractions. I didn't want to show up too early at the hospital and I wasn't even sure if this was the real thing, so I took a bath, kind of tried to relax, but the contractions started getting stronger. I told Josh that we should probably get going, so at about 1:45 we left towards the hospital in chandler, which from our place is about 25 to 30 minutes. Come to find out, the 101 was closed so we had to take a bunch of detours and we finally got there at about 2:30. During this time, my contractions are getting way stronger and really painful. I had originally planned on doing a natural birth this time around but in the car I told Josh that I didn't think I could anymore. Anyway, we got to the hospital, I went in while Josh waited for his mom to get there to pick up Aaron, they checked me out and told me i was a 5. They took me back to the labor room, and within 15 minutes I was a 9 and my doctor wasn't there yet. The nurse told me I would have to try not to push so my doctor would get there. It was hard, but luckily 5 minutes later he showed up and I was ready and about 10 minutes later, she was born at 3:12 a.m. Needless to say, since everything was so fast, I wasn't able to get an epidural, which now i'm glad I didn't anyway. So from the time we actually got to the hospital till when she born, was less than an hour. Kylee Christine was 7lbs. 8 oz, 20 1/2 inches long and in perfect health. She was so cute and when I first saw her I thought she looked so much like Aaron did when he was a baby. Aaron unfortunately wasn't able to come to the hospital to meet Kylee, because they had it restricted to no one under the age of 12 was allowed, due to flu season. But the next day after we were discharged, we went and picked Aaron up from Josh's parents house. He was so excited to see her. He commented several times saying how beautiful she is.




4 weeks later she has already grown so much and is doing great. For the 1st week though she had pink eye, which I don't even now how she could of possibly caught that. And then Aaron got a bad cough, so we confined him to his room and he wasn't able to go near her for about a week. Lucky for us, he did pretty good, though we had to put a tv in his room so he could watch some movies. I felt so bad for him. I was so worried though that Kylee would get sick. But we are all happy and healthy now. I feel so blessed to have our little family.
