Chris and I had been working two very difficult jobs, in horrible conditions for a company that ran us into the ground. Life was great. We had a beautiful apartment, a new baby puppy, we went to the zoo, to Disneyland, we could go anywhere and do anything we wanted. And now we had a little addition on it's way to join us foe our journey. We were so excited, nervous, and had NO idea what to expect.
Hearing her first heart beat at 10 weeks was wonderful. We then waited 5 more weeks and got a 4D ultra sound with my Dad and Chris. It was a girl. :) She blew bubbles, had hic-ups(which she still has all the time) and was moving around like a Mexican jumping bean. We had chosen the name Kaydence, which means rhythm. It ended up being a perfect name for the little one, because as my pregnancy progressed, She moved every day at 2-3 in the afternoon, and kept me up all night dancing her little dances as I tried to sleep. :)
Kaydence May was born on September 3rd, 2010. She was delivered by c-section because of pregnancy complications, and I would not dilate more than 4 cm in i don't know HOW many hours. She was a beautiful 7 pounds, 6 ounces and was greeted by her Dad, her Mom, and her Papa. Chris held her for the very first time, and he was so adorably nervous.
I was still recovering from the epidural and surgery, and was not able to feel my arms, and could not hold Kaydee until about 2-3 hours after her birth. Until them, she stayed with Chris and Papa.
When I was finally able to hold my daughter, it was the most wonderful and amazing experience I have ever encountered. I wanted to share it with the world, and was so grateful to have Chris and my Dad there with me. When I held that little girl, nothing was coming between her, Chris, and I. That was it. There she was. Beautiful.
Since then, Kaydee has grown so fast. As a Mother, many of you know how hard and wonderful that is to watch all at the same time.
And BAM. In that many photos she is one week short of 5 months old. Smart, adorable, funny, and magical little Kaydence. If we could give her everything in the world, we would. If we could give her the sun, we would. If we could hand her the moon to play with and a shooting star to ride on, we would. But above all else, what we can and will give her is all the love in this world, no matter what. We will protect her from all that we can, and share with her all that she wishes.
There is no question, the last 5 months has been the best of our life as a couple, and as a family. We wouldn't trade it for the world. <3
We are truly blessed to have the people we do that love and support our daughter as much as we do. I feel sad for those who have chosen not to share her with us, but life is as life is.
Chris and I have fallen in love all over again. With each other, and with this wonderful little girl.
Until next time,
Chris, Chels, and Kaydence
