Baby Kennidi!!!

Wow, it has been over a year since my last blog so its about time! So much has happened in the past year and Kennidi is the BIGGEST, yet smallest (because she is a tiny one) change! Kennidi Sophia Jensen was born on November 29, 2010 at 8:02 a.m. she weighed 7 pounds 1 ounce and was 19.25 inches long. You can definitely tell she is our baby since she looks like her daddy with my eyes :)

Kennidi was 9 days late so I had to be induced. I arrived at the University of Utah Hospital Sunday the 28th around 9:30 p.m. (I was supposed to be there at 9 but there was a HUGE snow storm that day...damn Utah!) Upon arrival I immediately changed and got hooked up to all sorts of beeping computers and monitors. The doctor on call came in and walked me through everything that was going to happen and told me that since it was my first baby I would most likely be delivering the next night...uh excuse me?!?!? I don't think so! Four hours after being "started" I had the option of an epidural...I graciously accepted! The epidural was a bit scary, and not because I'm just scared of needles. The doctor made me sit up to get the epidural. I immediately got sick and Kennidi's heart rate dropped from 140 bpm to 80 bpm!! All of the sudden about 20 doctors and 15 nurses rushed into the room and were turning me all different directions in order to get her heart rate back up. After about 5 minutes she was back around 140 but I had to lay down in order to get the epidural. At this point I didn't care if they needed me to stand on my head...I wanted that epidural!!

Hours past and my doctor arrived, probably around 7:30 a.m. and I was so ready to meet my princess! She told me that it could take a couple hours to get her out but I didn't want to wait that long! It took 15 minutes!! YAY ME!! I was really happy that it went so fast because my doctor had a scheduled C-Section around 9 a.m. and she wouldn't have been there to deliver Kennidi if it took much longer. Kennidi was absolutely perfect....except her umbilical cord was in a "true knot" which is less than a 1% change of having...but what is even weirder is that when I was born mine was the exact same way. The delivery could've ended in tragedy but she is here with us and is the most happy and healthy baby EVER!

We are loving having Kennidi in our lives and couldn't imaging life without her! She is so much fun and I love seeing her discover new things everyday!

Here are a few pictures of Kennidi from the last few months. Now that I don't work and I stay home with Kennidi I will be able to blog more often :)
