Kade's first 2 weeks!

Grandpa Dan and Grandma Jeanne visit Denver

Grandpa Dan and Grandma Jeanne came to Denver to meet Baby Kade and they were a great help! Grandpa was on "Connor duty" and kept him busy by taking him to the park every day and Grandma took care of meals and many chores. They were a great help and we had so much fun showing them around the Denver area. It's just too bad that the blizzard blew through the night they were supposed to fly out, so they had to stay an extra day until they could catch a flight home. Thanks for coming!!

Grammy comes to town!

Grammy came to visit the week that Kade was born. She was such a huge help. She watched Connor while we were in the hospital and I know that wasn't easy, considering he was REALLY sick. She was great. She did all the chores that I couldn't and didn't want to do, and spoiled us by taking us out. We had a blast going to the Children's Museum, the Outlets, Park Meadows, getting her hair done, and the 16th Street Mall. THANKS Grammy!

Kade Thomas Kelly is here!

Kade was born at 3:55pm on Sat, the 7th...6lbs 8oz! This birth was WAY easier than with Connor! I went in at 5:30 am for the antibiotics and they broke my water at around 10 am. I walked the halls for a few hours to get my contractions to start, but they just weren't taking off! So, at around noon, I told Sean that I was super hungry and wanted to eat dinner that night....so that meant that we needed to get the show on the road! I knew that if we waited to let the contractions start naturally, that I may not eat until tomorrow. So, I told the nurse to start the pitocin and get the epidural going ASAP. I was really craving a burger. So, they began the epidural and pitocin around noon and just a few hours later I was dilated to 10cm! It went really fast! The only glitch was that they had to put a tube up into the uterus to add fluid because the cord was wrapped around his neck. So...the nurse had me push twice and we saw that the head was right there. We called for the doc to come in and and we got everything ready...including Sean. My doc actually let Sean deliver him!!!!! Sean got to do EVERYTHING! I pushed two more times and he literally slid right out! Unfortunately they made me wait another hour to eat, but hey...I still got to eat by dinner time! He looks just like Connor did, but smaller and with hair. Take a look at the pictures below and you'll see Sean delivering him!

Basketball

Well, Connor's last day of basketball ended with an awards ceremony and a pizza party with basketball shaped cupcakes! After Connor had eaten his pizza, he went up to the coaches wife and asked for a cupcake. She handed it to him and with a smile, told him not to be too messy. He then said..."no, this isn't for me, this is for my momma. She needs it more." He had fun this year, except it was a team of 4-6 year olds and he JUST turned 4! So, needless to say, he had NO clue what he was doing!It was pretty funny, but the coach was patient with him!!
