Kylee Elizabeth Engstrom

Kylee Elizabeth Engstrom was born on Friday, December 5th, at 1:41am. 1 hour and 41 minutes after the day daddy had been prediciting for months.

I started having consistent contractions Wednsday around 11pm, and I went in for an ultrasound on Thursday just to make sure she was okay, since I was a week overdue. The docs figured out pretty quickly that she was okay, but needed to come out right away since the amniotic fluids were low, so I was induced at around 4pm on Thursday, and less then 10 hours later, our baby girl was here. I just want to give special thanks to my husband for all of his love and support during the labor process. I'm thankful for my beautiful baby girl, but I'm also even more in love with my husband because he was so awesome during my labor.

This was taken right after she was cleaned. Our first family photo!


First time I ever held her...and fell in love instantly.
This was taken right after she was born but all wiped down.
Our little princess.
Josh holding Kylee for the first time. He hasnt stopped smiling since.

I did get to hold her right away, but the docs took her shortly afterwards to do her wellness exam. I couldnt hold her for almost an hour while they worked on her breathing. I thought she was okay but her breathing was a little muffled, and when they took her away to work on her, I think I experienced the fear only a mother can know. Terrifying but baby girl was fine!
This picture was taken right after Daddy finished giving her her first bath.
I feel like the happiest person alive, and I know Josh does too. Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes, Kylee was born healthy and we are all doing great now.

Beautiful little girl Kylee.

I just think it is unfair that your mommy looked so good after delivery (I know I didn't)

Many Blessings on you all.

Love Auntie Pam
