First morning at home
Welcome to our family Kayl Hawkins Oglesby. Born Aug. 13th 2009 7:52am at Good Samaritan Hospital. Weight 7lbs 5oz and 19 3/4" long. What a difference in experiences from one birth to the next. Let me just say from my 2 experiences the only thing you can plan or predict about your delivery is that there will be a baby at the end. We went to the hospital wednesday night about 9pm. I was 2-3cm when we checked in and having pretty strong contractions every 3 minutes. The hospital could not get in touch with the Dr. on call (my Dr. was on vacation of course) so they could not admit me until they got a response. 2 hours later I am 7-8cm and I am begging for my epidural (which I had intended to get the minute I stepped off the elevator) she could not get a response from any of the Drs. in the practice so I officially was not admitted into the hospital. The nurse trying to help me was freaking out tripping over her own feet literally and apologizing that she couldn't do a thing for me and I am trying to grasp the fact that I just may have this baby in a glorified waiting room with no Dr. and worst of all no epidural. Finally, I get admitted and they give me the epidural hoping to slow down my delivery so they have time to get my meds administered before the baby appears. The Dr. on call shows up he isn't even scrubbed in and I push for 3 minutes and welcome Kayl. I don't know who the women was that delivered my baby but she was the only one scrubbed in. So far Kayl is one of the easiest babies alive! I don't know how we got so lucky (knock on wood) both boys were such easy babies! Keegan loves Kayl and puts his hand on the top of his head all the time as if he is blessing him. Enjoy the pictures and videos of Kayl's first week at home with the family!

A letter from Mommy
Dear Kayl,
Welcome to existence! I now know what love is. You are a blessing to me and I hope I can live up to the love I feel for you. I hope I can teach you to make the most of your time during your life. I dare you to move…. I dare you to move in “your” direction all through life. I dare you to live it to the fullest. I dare you to try your best at everything you do. I dare you to fail and learn from it. I dare you to be brave. I dare you to be confident. I dare you to be positive even when things don’t seem like they will ever be better. I dare you to cry when you are sad, laugh when you are happy, scream when you are mad, and tell the world when you are proud. I dare you to be intimate with others. I dare you to really learn to listen to others and have compassion for them. I dare you to have faith and believe in something bigger than yourself. I dare you to take responsibility for your life, your actions, and your happiness. I dare you to be selfless without sacrificing yourself. I dare you to really find your “self” and to trust yourself and believe in yourself. I dare you to laugh every day and find humor in life. I dare you to move. I dare you to be brave and move through life with grace and faith. You are not alone. You will never be alone. When you fall I will be there believing that you can get up. When you fail I will be there believing that you will learn, and laugh from it. When you succeed I will be there celebrating your success. When you love I will be at peace watching you enjoy it. When you express yourself I will be there listening unconditionally. You are awesome; don’t deny the world of your best. You are special to me, I made you from scratch! Now go out into the world and show others why you are so special. You are not alone, be brave! I dare you!
Love Mommy!
