Baby Kai is here!


Kai Landin Selly was born at 10:48 pm on Tuesday, October 14th, 2008 weighing in at 5 lbs and 14 ounces We didn't think he was going to be born yesterday. Things started off slow, but as we went into the night things ended up going really fast! So fast that I was unable to get the epidural...so it was painful! At least it went really fast and he was out in 3 pushes. He wasn't breathing right at first, but was able to start breathing on his own. I got to see and hold him for a few minutes and then he was taken to Children's Hospital. He is doing good over there. They are doing a bunch of test to determine what is wrong with him. It may take a few days before we actually know things. He has a lot of loose skin from the swelling, so he looks like a wrinkly baby. Parts of him look purple from the swelling as well. He has some joint issues as well. At this point we don't know when he will be able to come home. Hopefully we will know a little more later today.
