Well, the day has finally come and we were so blessed to welcome a fourth girl to our crew. At about 11:00pm on Thursday May 12th after giving up all hope that I was going to possibly give birth on my birthday I felt my first contraction. After about 15 minutes and a trip to the washroom I started thinking that perhaps we should head to the hospital. I found Anthony still working in the office and almost laughed when he jumped and partially panicked at the sight of me coming in the door. We phoned my mom who arrived at 11:50 and then proceeded to the hospital. We arrived at the hospital at 12:00 to a little bit of a gong show in the ER but that is a separate story. We made our way upstairs and found ourselves in a nice little room where despite contractions about 3 minutes apart the lovely nurse had to ask me like a billion questions. We were whisked into a delivery suite and despite my request for an epidural and the nurses poking me three times I once again delivered too fast to get the good pain drugs. Jordynn Piper Kish was born at 1:09am on our now shared birth date of May 13th. It was a Friday and my 30th birthday so I cannot tell you how amazingly blessed I felt to share that day with this beautiful gift.
Jordynn is so beautiful. I know I am biased because I am their mother but Anthony and I do make absolutely gorgeous babies. She is a little more fussy then the previous littles but I am sure that is because she wants to make sure that she is not forgotten in this chaos. It is remarkable to see the other girls interact with their new baby sister. All day I field a ton of requests for hold time and I spend the majority of my time as a mother of four making sure that no one is kissing, touching, holding Jordynn without an adult.
I know that I have said this before but I am one AMAZINGLY blessed woman. Thank-you God for all the things you have given to me :)
