Our Little Chipmunk is Here!

Brianna Faith Kidd was born on Thursday, November 8th at 2:24pm!

She weighed 8 lbs. 14 oz! She's 20 inches long!

She's just wonderful! We are so blessed!

Here is our labor and delivery story:

Wed. 11/7, 3:45am - woke up for scheduled induction

5:00am - arrived at the hospital, 4 sticks and 3 nurses later started IV

6:30am - started pitocin, no painful contractions, no progress (stayed at 1cm), dr tried to break water twice (aaa!)

4:00pm - dr stopped pitocin and let me eat (chick-fil-a never tasted so good!), dr started me on sideatec (sp?)

8:00pm - dilated to 2cm, kept getting medicine through the night, had to sleep in uncomfortable labor/delivery bed

Thurs. 11/8, 5:00am - dr broke water (aaa!), started on pitocin again, started feeling painful contractions (aaa!), dilated to 3cm

8:00am - epidural (yeah!)

9:30am - still at 4cm

11:15am - dilated to 9cm, talking about getting ready to push, nurses started monitoring baby's heartrate closer, put me on oxygen

1:54pm - dr told us we had to do a c-section because the baby's heartrate was dropping during contractions and not coming up fast enough, she thinks the umbilical cord is wrapped and the baby won't do good during pushing, so we were rushed to the OR

2:24pm - baby Brianna is born! The cord was wrapped around her body, she was facing the wrong way, and she was too big (8lbs 14oz!) so even if we had tried pushing she would have to come out c-section

Sun. 11/11, 4:30pm - we finally got home from the hospital! And we are all doing well!

So that's our story! We are just so happy she is here and healthy and happy! Thanks for your prayers.

40 Weeks!

Yes, we are at 40 weeks! Still feeling pretty good! Doesn't look like she wants to come out so we are scheduled to be induced on Wednesday the 7th! We are very excited to meet Brianna! Keep us in your prayers! We'll post pictures here when we get home from the hospital!

37 Weeks!

Only 3 weeks to go! We can't believe it's almost here! The doctor said everything looks good and she doesn't think the baby will come early. We'll keep you posted! :)

36 Week Ultrasound!

We just had our 36 week ultrasound on Monday and everything is looking good! We got to check out the heart, the kidneys, the bones... and we even saw her mouth open and close! They checked that it is a girl! :) And that her head is down!
These are the neat 3D pictures they gave us! You can see the baby looking at you and her arm and hands are covering part of her face.
So it won't be long now! Keep us in your prayers!

My Work Baby Shower!

Thanks to Jennifer and Lanette for throwing me a baby shower at work! It was really nice! I really appreciated the Babies R Us gift card that several people contributed towards!

Here's the cute cake they had made with ballet shoes on top!
Here's everyone working on the baby word scramble game!

The baby's name is...

Brianna Faith Kidd!

We were trying to come up with a way to incorporate Ann into the baby's name because Ann is a family name. It's my middle name, my mom's middle name, and Jeremy's mom's middle name. And my grandma's name is Anna and Jeremy's grandma's name is Annabel. So one night the name Brianna just came to me and I told Jeremy and we both loved it! Then we were trying to come up with a middle name and Jeremy thought of Faith because our faith is so important to us and I really liked that so that's how we got the middle name!
