So as most of you know, we had our beautiful litle girl Brightyn on 08/17 @ 9:25 in the morning. It all started the night before when I decided I was DONE being pregnant. I took 4 tsp. of castor oil (which has been known to put you into labor/ I also did this with Kinlee and it does work!) I took this at 8:30 Sunday night and by 2:15 Monday morning we were in the hospital with contractions at 3 minutes apart. Brightyn was born 12 days early at 7 pounds 6 oz. and 19 inches long. My doctor was out of town :( so her partner Dr. Kenneth Larson delivered the baby. He was great. After I had the baby, all I could think about was Kinlee and how excited I was to see her, and for her to see her sister for the first time. It honestly was one of the happiest moments of my entire life. I am getting teary eyed just thinking about it. When Kinlee got there, she immediately wanted to see her sister and give her loves. She absolutely adores her. Derk stayed both nights I was in the hospital with Kinlee at our house, and each night Kinlee cried because she wanted to bring her baby home. Derk said the first thing she wanted to do each morning was to go see her baby. It has been amazing so far. I think once I get into a routine, and figure out how to manage 2 girls instead of just one, things will be so much fun. I can harldy wait to see what the future holds. Here are a few pics (there are to many to post all of them)
Sink Bath!
