Best Christmas Present Ever!

Kaylin Noelle Kocherhans was born December 24th 7:02am weighing 7 lbs 3 oz. 19 inches long.





This little lady decided to give her mommy a nice Christmas present by arriving right on time. After my appointment on Tuesday I thought for sure I would be waiting until the 30th when I was scheduled to be induced since I hadn't made any progress for two weeks. The next morning I woke up with contractions at 7am and I had contractions all day long until 11:30 pm when we decided they were finally bad enough that we should go to the hospital. I think when we walked in and I was so calm and laid back that the nurses thought they were just going to check me and send me home. I was dilated to a 4 so I was staying and I got my epidural right away (Heaven!!) At about 3am my water broke and by 4 I was fully dilated but they wanted her to drop a little more so we waited another hour til 5 when I started pushing. She would have been her earlier but we had to wait about half an hour for the doctor to arrive. After the doctor got there she was born within about 15 minutes. She is such a sweet baby with so much hair and if we can get her to figure out her nights and days we will be smooth sailing.

Thanks for bringing her to see us. What a lovely visit. We think she is adorable and can hardly for her to grow up just a little so we can get to know her.
