Kendall Braelyn Godfrey is Born!

Friday, November 25, 2011 I woke up with extra energy and decided that I was tired of the leaves in the yard. Since Joe was at work, I decided to take it upon myself to rake/blow the leaves...keeping in mind that normally, I HATE doing leaves. Four hours later, I completed the front and back yard and proceeded to go inside and clean the entire house. At 8:15pm, I started to have moderate contractions and at 8:45pm the contractions began to get closer together and more painful so I called Joe at work to let him know "It's time". He was home in 10 minutes. ha ha. We checked into Matthew's Presbyterian at 10:35pm and almost 12 hours later at 8:41am, Joe and I became the very proud parents of Kendall Braelyn Godfrey. She weighed in at 7lbs, 11oz and she was 20 inches long. 

Our new Family.

After Kendall was cleaned up, checked over, and tested; Doctor's said she passed with flying colors and was very healthy.

Kendall in her car seat right before we left the hospital on Monday morning.

The first week home went by smoothly and so far, Kendall has been a great baby. Despite having to get up to feed her, I have still been able to get 5-7 hours of sleep a night...even since day one! 
Friday morning, Joe and I took Kendall to her first pediatric appointment to be weighed and checked out.    On Monday morning, She had dropped down to 7lb-3oz and by Friday weighed 7lb-15oz! So not only is she eating well, but sleeping well too! We are so blessed!

Here's a look at the past week and a half so far!

 Kendall in her bouncy seat. It looks so comfy, I wish they had it in my size! :)

 Our sleeping "monkey."

 Look at that cute face!!



Her first bath in her "whale-of-a-tub." She wasn't entirely excited about her first bath.

A Finished Nursery

We finally got our nursery completed and ready for Kendall so here it is!

 We love our new chair! It rocks and fully reclines!

 This shot looks a little cluttered, but the bouncy chair gets moved around as we need it.

 The afghan on the crib was made by my sister Kiersten, and its absolutely beautiful! It matched the nursery perfectly!

 The changing table/dresser. The gray elephants on the shelf were made by my Dad to match our elephant decor!
