Harper is here!!! Happy Mothers day!

Harper Makenna King was born very quickly on saturday (may 7th). 6lbs 12oz, 18 1/2 inches long at 8:45 pm. So it was a regular day for us. I was having some pains, but brushed them off thinking it was false labor, because the pain wasnt getting stronger and they werent coming at regular times. We decided to just have a lazy day that day and not go to idaho falls like we were thinking earlier that day. So about 4, 4:30 spencer went to the driving range with my brother and thats when it all came WAY fast. the "pains" started coming way fast and very strong and painful. adyson had no idea what was going on, but oh i did! i started to bleed too so that was a huge sign for me that it was NOT false anymore! so i tried to call spencer, but there wasnt that great of cell phone reception out at the golf course, so i had to just keep calling until i reached him....and crazily started cleaning the house! i know! i was totally going crazy! lol. so after about a half hour or so i finally got a hold of spencer and said "I NEED TO GO TO THE HOSPITAL! GET HOME NOW!" So after that our good friend kailani came and got adyson and spencer got home and in about 2 seconds we were out the door to the hospital (LUCKILY i had packed my hospital bag the night before!!!). the drive was one of the scariest/funniest rides ever. so spencer will NOT speed for anything... he obeys the speed at ALL times (and i kinda dont, lol) well spencer went about 20 over and passed cars just to get to the hospital (and by this time i was having hard core pains!) Well anyway we made it to the hospital and turned out i was dialated to a 4. so i was admitted about 5ish and about 3ish hours later, and about 2 minutes of pushing, Harper was born at 8:45 pm.WAY easier birthing experience then last time!!! I got to hold her for about a minute and spencer took her down to the NICU. When she was coming out, she got some of the fluid in her lungs. She was grunting and having a hard time breathing, so they took her to get it all fixed. That night adyson got to meet her little sister but hasnt been aloud to see her since. Harper has been in the NICU with a SIPAP on. (see pictures.) We havent been able to hold her until today for a couple of minutes and they said tomorrow she will be able to get off the machine to try breathing on her own. Its been hard not to be able to hold her and only be able to pretty much watch her lying there with that crazy head gear on. We really dont know what she looks like. I mean we saw her when she came out, but a baby always looks different after they are out a little bit. Its hard to see the other moms here with their babies and to hear them every once in a while. I wish i could just have her with me! We wish we could hold her and see her but as long as shes getting better, it'll be ok. We still dont know when she will be coming home but i will be out tomorrow night. Sorry about the lack of pictures. We really didnt get any time to take any. She came so fast and was ready to come out to see us! She was due the 18th, but she is considered full term. Hopefully soon we can get pictures of the whole family and pics with mommy and daddy! Anyway shes doing great so far and has been getting better! hopefully we get to take her home soon!

PS HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! I am so greatful for this day! I happened to get my mothers day gifts early. I got a new camera about a week ago (just in time) and a pretty necklace, flowers and best of all Harper! I love my girls and i am so thankful to be their mom! Thank you spencer for all the gifts but best of all thank you for our beautiful girls!

It can be hard at times to be a mother, but i would not change a thing! I am so greatful for my mom too! I know what you went through with me! SORRY! lol Thanks for everything mom!

Happy mothers day to all the women out there. Every woman, no matter if they have children or not, are mothers!
