KHLOE ROSE KEMBLE

She's here and we could not be more thrilled! She was born at 37 weeks 4 days.
Weight: 5 lbs 13 oz
Length: 18.5 inches


I had been on bed rest for 1 week and I went in for my second stress test. There were two concerning drops in the baby's heartbeat so they decided to induce me. I was at the hospital by myself. Jason was at work in Salt Lake and he had left his cell phone home (he never is without his cell phone, go figure!) I called up to his work and they found him in the new hire training that he was attending. They interrupted the training and announced that I was being induced. He hurried down to Provo. It was such a relief for me when he arrived. My parents had already come to the hospital to sit with me. They had just barely got the IV in (after 12 attempts) when he got there.

They started me on the petosin. It took from 7 pm until 5 am for me to fully dialate. When the doctor arrived, I started pushing. I pushed for about 20 minutes on 10 contractions and she was out! It was much easier than I had ever imagined. It had been so worried about the labor and delivery.
She was crying so loud. I loved the sound of it.

This picture was literally 2 minutes after she came out. I was so overwhelmed with joy and and still in shock from labor.

What a proud papa!

Look at all that hair!
1 day old
