Announcing Kaydence Maree Maughan

Our precious baby girl, Kaydence Maree Maughan, was born January 26th and not a moment to soon :) She weighed 7 pounds and is 20 inches long! She is absolutely perfect and we cant get enough of her! She has the not so lovely jaundice so her schedule is 3 hours under the bililights and 1 hour with us to feed and cuddle which is not enough time at all :(We cherish every second we have together... I was dismissed today but they want to keep her another night so luckily we are able to stay in the hospital with her under "hotel care" whichs just means we don't have nurses taking care of us just Kaydence.

Britt is already an amazing dad and loves his daughter so much! I love to watch them together and see how much he loves her! He is going to be an awesome daddy :)

Im not sure the next time I will be on the internet cause its so crazy at my house so I will blog now.... I know you want pictures but I forgot my camera cord to upload pictures and the internet is currently not working at our apartment so I promise as soon as I can I will post pictures!

My labor and delivery went really well! I was so blessed :)

I was at school teaching my kindergarten class on Monday when my water started leaking, and contractions picked up a little so i text Britt and told him I thought my water broke so he called the doctor and the nurse told us to come in. Luckily an aid came and took my class and i met Britt at our apartment and went to the hospital. When we got there they checked me and said my water hadn't completely broke but i could have a small leak so they kept me for awhile then sent me home and told me to watch it. SO then of course I was disappointed but we went home and went to dinner, spent time together and relaxed. THe next morning, Tuesday, I had an appointment with my doctor and he was a little concerned about the leaking fluid so he suggested he brake my water and get things rolling. So we went downstairs to get admitted to the hospital and around noon he broke my water. Thats when the contractions picked up a ton and lasted as long as i could then got the coveted epidural and things got better :) I went from being dilated a 4 to a 10 in an hour and a half then pushed for about another half hour-hour and out she came! Like I said earlier, very blessed to have such a good delivery and had an amazing doctor!

Thank you everyone for your well wishes and thoughts! We love you all!

Britt, Amanda, and Baby Kaydence
