Kenna Mae Karlinsey

Well, she's finally here! Yesterday at 10:35 Tiffany delivered a healthy baby girl. 8 Lbs, 4 oz., 20 inches long. We have named her Kenna Mae Karlinsey, not Kerlindsey :)

Tiffany did well with the surgery, but had some issues with the spinal before. The anesthesiologist couldn't get the needle to get in the spine just right (no fault of his own, just a very strange occurrence). Before they were done, another anesthesiologist had come in and it took him a few times to get it right. More than 10 pokes and 50 minutes later she was completely numb. A little while later we got to see Kenna. She is so cute. Below are some pictures we got of her yesterday.


This was just moments after they brought her out to us, after Tiffany had been sewn up and moved into our room. She was only alert for a few minutes, but we are very glad we got this one. They put the bow in her hair, so cute.
She has some chunky cheeks. The dr. assisting with surgery said "shes chunky everywhere." We agree.
Tiffany holding her on her lap. She is so tiny! Gavin was a little bigger (8 lbs 9 oz.) but she seems so much smaller. Also, she looks a lot like Gavin when he was born. How Kenna and Gavin can look more alike than Tyson and Owen is a little strange to me.
Its a girl. We've never had that sign for any of our kids, its different.
We are so happy that she is here, and she has been very good. She has hardly cried and seems very content most of the time. The only downside to that is she is not interested in breastfeeding. We thought maybe if we waited a long time, she would get hungry and try a little harder. Turns out she was just happy to be held and fell asleep again. We aren't going to complain though! Thanks for all the prayers offered on our behalf, and thanks for all the support. We have been very blessed, and we are so very happy she is finally here.
