Born on her Uncle Rue's Birthday!!!!!

Okay folks so here's the story. I had an appt the morning of the 29th to have Kennedy Jo turned. When I went in they started me on monitors and Kennedy was kicking away. She did not want them on her! It was silly. Then the dr came in and I was having some contractions but I couldn't feel them. Then he did an ultra sound and was thinking of how she could be turned then he checked the amniotic fluid and I had less then half the amount I should have. So they did they test to see if I was leaking and it came back negative. So then (I know this is a LONG story but I can't miss the details.) He went to fill inside me and couldn't find the membranes so he said we are taking this baby csection today. So Ben got his work called and told them I was going in for an emergency Csection. Anyway they took me back and tired to give me the spinal anistetic but my left side jerked when they were giving it to me and they couldn't take chances or time so they made Ben step out of the room and put me completely under. They got her out and when they did I didn't have a drop of Amniotic Fluid left. So she's our miracle baby. Cause if I wouldn't have had an appt that morning I would have never known anything was wrong since she was still active. She's in the NICU unit out here an will be until I"m 37 weeks which is Jan 18th! (My Birthday convienent right?) We will be going back and forth to the hospital everyday to visit with her, hold her, feed her, etc. Poor Aidan is DYING to meet his little sister but we keep him occupied with Special Babysitters and Pictures of his little Kennedy! I want to thank everyone for the prayers, visits, gifts, and thoughts! We really loved seeing everyone that stopped by. Glad to have miss Kennedy in our family and she's such a sweet spirit. It'll be awhile before visitors will be allowed. We were told she could come home at 37 weeks but she will not be able to be visited until her full term after Feb 8. The dr's have strict orders and we will follow them to keep her as healthy as possible!!!!! Thank you again everyone! I'll attach some photos!!!!!!
