21. How did you pick the name? Caelyn was from the baby book. We had made lists upon lists of names, girls and boys, and we had a name picked out for a girl and a boy, and then two weeks before she came, we changed our minds, and decided that the name we had picked out for a girl just wasn't it. So, we went back to the books/list, and decided on Caelyn. Alexa is after our good friend who had cancer and died when I was pregnant with Caelyn
22. How did you know when it was time to go to hospital? The dr had sent me to have a NST and a scan to check my fluid levels. My fluid levels were low, so he sent me to be admitted for induction. Good thing I had said to Kel before we left the house, we should take the bags, just in case! :)
23. What was your pain management? Breathing, breathing, breathing. Rocking back and forth. Closing my eyes, and focused on my breathing and rocking - didn't think I was going to make it natural, those pitocin contractions are no joke, but I made it!

25. Anyone spend the night with you first night home? Just us and our 4 beautiful kids!

Just think....if you had another one, (s)he'd fall out :)
Fun to remember ! To think...you were done after your first :)
That was awesome to read! Don't you love how people say this kid or that kid looks like so and so and there is no blood between the two! I have a friend that I swear she looks just like her dad and I know it is her step dad and isn't possible!!! All four of your kids are beautiful, handsome and adorable.
I love the combo of hers, hers and ours you guys have! Your kids are beautiful, as is your family!
