Baby Jenna May!

We were blessed to have our sweet baby Jenna enter our lives 2 1/2 weeks early! She was born August 2, 2010, was 8 lbs 9 oz and 20 1/2 inches long. I was down in Salt Lake City for my weekly appointment and decided to stay the weekend at my parents. Brad came down on Sunday to bring us all back home. But around 4:00 on Sunday I went into Labor. We timed the contractions for awhile because I had already been to labor and delivery 2 weeks earlier in labor they calmed them down to be about an hour away and were hoping I could make it to my scheduled c-section date of the 11th. Around 11:30 pm on Sunday night we decided that they weren't calming down in fact they were getting stronger and closer. It is not safe for me to labor because of my three previous c-sections. They monitored me in the labor and delivery room all night and at 5:00 am Dr. Sharp decided that they weren't going to calm down and that we would need to do my c-section early they started the surgery prep. She was born that morning at 7:09 am and couldn't have been healthier. I was so thrilled to finally have this sweet baby girl here. It sure was a hard rode to get her here.

I know not the greatest picture, but who looks good when they haven't slept at all the night before and then have major surgery in the early morning.



The kids were so excited to come up and meet their new baby sister. I don't think any of them stopped smiling the whole time they were there.

All ready to go home!




Brad and I drove home with Jenna and then Grandma Blake brought the rest of the kids a couple of hours after us! She stayed to help us out and we can't thank her enough for all of her help!

Melanie is a little bit too confidant in her mommy skills, we have to watch her very carefully!


Jenna and Kaitlyn
She is such great help and couldn't love her baby sister more!
We all are just in love with our sweet baby Jenna! I have a ton of helpers! We are trying to enjoy every moment with this sweet angel sent from heaven!
