Getting ready for bed

Trent and his girls. If you know Kinnedi, She loves to hold your hand, And of course she has to hold her baby sisters hand. She always wants to. "I hold baby Addi's hand?," Please" And she can't hold your hand unless her fingers are interlocked with yours. Its a little hard to do that with little baby fingers, but she tries.
Holding hands again.
Kinnedi is giving the camera a High-five.
Cheese!
My girls ready for bed.

It's a girl!!!

Normally I leave the blogging up to my adorable wife, however, she is currently otherwise occupied and not able to make an update.

Thursday morning (4/15/10) at 4:50AM, I woke up suddenly to a sharp pain in my arm. I soon realized that I was experience contractions for the second time in my life. Lucky for me, the only pain I felt from the contractions was coming from Candice's stronger than usual grip that seized upon me every ten minutes. We figured we had plenty of time, so we both took showers, though apparently mine was too long since she started having contractions every 3 minutes.

We quickly finished getting ready and sped off. We dropped Kinnedi off at her Grandma Jensen's and we went to the hospital.

When we got there, Candice was Dialated to a 6 (I think), was 100% effaced, and was about ready to go.

She slowly progressed from a 6 to a 7, to an 8, to an 81/2, to a 9, to a 93/4, and finally to a 10. Yay!

At this point, I figured it would be smooth sailing, especially since Candice had her epideral and could hardly feel a thing. Once again, our daughters proved their stubbornness as Candice pushed for over 2 hours trying to get the baby through her small pelvis.

Finally, the doctor arrived and was able to get her out using forcepts. Addison (Add-A-Son) Mae Carter was finally born at 3:54PM. She weighed a whopping 8 pounds 4 ounces and was 20.5 inches long.

We all thought that she would have weighed less, even the doctor thought she would come in under 8 pounds, though I guess that extra week in the uterus let her grow a bit more. Candice was just glad she came out under 10 pounds since I told her that if she weighed over ten, we would have to name her Olga.

Anyway, Candice and the baby are both doing great, though Candice is understandable exausted.

I am just so grateful for my wonderful wife Candice and our two adorable little girls.



I know you probably just skimmed this to see how much she weighed etc and are probably wondering where the pictures are. It is very late and I need some sleep, and the camera is at the hospital, so I will upload some pics soon. Until then, you will just have to take my word that she is one cute little girly.

The Aquarium

Yesterday, Kinnedi and I went to the Aquarium with My Mom, Emma and Aunt Tammy and her kids. It was a lot of fun, but it was also really crazy, lots of kids because of Spring Break.
Emma and Kinnedi looking at some fish.
They were so excited to touch the sting ray. I think they liked the water more.
Cheese!
Riding in the Canoe.
We wanted to kids to pose, and Collin said this is how you pose.
Emma and Kinnedi were so excited to see the Penguins.
The Penguins were a lot of fun. They were so active, kept jumping in the water and showing off.

Kinnedi wouldn't cooperate, she wanted to stand in front of the Penguin.

Had to get a picture on this Giant Frog.
