The kids and I headed to IL on Thursday evening to welcome baby Kai into the world, but...he decided that he would not make his debut until 3:58a.m. on Friday morning. We figured since my niece, Megan, was induced on Thursday morning around 7:30a.m. that surely he would be there by that night : ) Meg was a trooper, she hung in there until around 8:30p.m. on Thursday and finally gave in a got that much needed epidural. YEA for drugs, HA!!!! After that, everything was pretty smooth sailin' until...her epidural line came out and she was dilated to 9, OUCH!!! It took them awhile to get it back into place, but after that all went well and her little man arrived, safe and sound : ) I couldn't wait to see him, I figured he'd have a ton of tiny, dark curls all over his little head, but he didn't. He does have a lot of dark hair, but it is pretty straight. I'm sure over time he will get some curl to it. He is so sweet, you just wanted to squeeze him tight! Keegan and Kallee were not too happy that they did not get to hold him, due to age restrictions, but they still had a good time with their cousins. On Friday my nephews, Tim & Chris came up with their families to welcome their nephew into this world, so my kids were happy that their cousins come to play. After everyone said their hellos to baby Kai, it was time to head to Steak-N-Shake for some food. Uncle Stan bought all the little kids (us big ones too), a shake, yummy! Once we were all stuffed to almost puking state (HA!), we headed back to our apartments for some much needed sleep. Since Meg & LaMorris have some friends that take care of the student housing, we were able to stay in a fully stocked, 2 bed room apartments for FREE! They were so nice, we all got our own apartments for our families, what a great deal that was! Thanks so much to Ashley for making sure our stay was so nice!!! After a good nights rest, we all headed to breakfast and then we headed home. The rest of the family stayed for the rest of the weekend, but since I had to teach Sunday School and I had a surprise b-day party to plan for, we headed home. It was so nice to meet you baby Kai, we love you and can't wait to hold you again! Congrats to Meg & LaMorris, you guys did great!!!
Papa Stan so proud of his 3rd grandson!
