My Daughter Heidi just had a baby boy on March 4th, here is her experience!

My little Kendal

He's finally here! What a relief! Here's the (brief) story of how Kendal came into this world. Kendal was due on his Great Grandma Bentleys Birthday March 3rd, but of course like both my other two boys, they don't come when they are supposed to. Although, all day long on March 3rd I was having lots of labor pains and of course they came and went before the end of the day. I was even able to get an interview with the bishop for my Temple recommend, and after that I went to Heathers for a few hours for one of our Girls Nights.

When I got home I had more labor pains so I called my midwife. She told me to take a hot bath and see if they kept coming. They actually went almost completely away when I took a bath. So I decided to try to rest and get some sleep while I could. After only a hour or so after I decided to sleep I awoke with unbearable labor pains. I wasn't sure if I should call my midwife yet, so I kept laboring at home. I kept trying to wake Brian to see what I should do. So from like 4 or 4:30 a.m. until around 7ish when I called my midwife I WAS having true labor contractions. The plan was to meet at Bela at 8:30 a.m., after I had gathered what I needed and got the boys ready and out the door. (As you might be able to see in some of the pics we didn't have much time to even get the two older boys ready).
Well, I was having extreme contractions while on the way and wasn't sure if we'd make it on time, there was plenty of traffic. But sure enough we actually made it there,
(thanks to my great nagging skills). My midwife arrived a few moments after we did and let us in. I went into our room and noticed that we got there around 8:18ish.
My midwife started filling up the tub. I had two contractions while I was in our room and then I went into the tub. And to make a longer story shorter, Kendal was born only 20 minutes later after we had arrived at 8:38a.m. Hurray! We are so glad you are here sweet Kendal Paul!
Here are some pics of him the day he was born and some of his first visitors.
