Krystin Brooke

K, so this will mostly be pictures. And there are a lot... Krystin Brooke was born April 2 at 11:04 pm. 6 lbs. 12 oz. 19 inches.(our biggest baby!) Went into the hospital 2 days prior with contractions that had been going on for 6 hours and ended up at 2 1/2 minutes apart. I wasn't dilating much (because she was breech!) so they gave me a shot to slow the contractions and sent me home. So right after Priesthood Session of Conference, they started up again at 2 and a half minutes. Stronger. I waited cause I didn't want them sending me home again, and I was visiting my mom. I had to have a neighbor go get Ryan because his phone was on silent, so by the time we got to the hospital they were 1 and a half minutes apart. So they immediately started preping me for the c-section. Within an hour she was born! I got to watch in a mirror as they pulled her out. At the time I was worried about her because they still had a hard time getting her out. But we are very very glad she is here and healthy!

Birthday and Conference

We celebrated Erica's 3rd Birthday a few weeks ago. She was VERY excited about it. And finally started using the "big" potty (instead of the training one) that very day! She wanted a castle cake, so that's what I made. Yes, it's tilting, but she was still thrilled. She had a lot of fun and is our little princess! Here she is dressed in her Rapunzel dress with her Rapunzel doll. She kept asking me to do her hair like Rapunzel, "So...make it long, ok?"
We watched Conference together this morning and I was so surprised when Katie remembered Elder Eyrings talk and decided to follow his advice. Watch the movie to hear her experience: (For those who got this on email, the web address is britt-keilfamily.blogspot.com)
