"Baby Chase Day!"

Tuesday, November 6, 2012

According to Kaylin Beth Wiehe:  "Baby Chase Day!"

 

Our friend Jessica was induced early on Tuesday.  I decided to drive to KC late Monday evening so I could be there whenever I received "the call" that I could go to the hospital.  I realized if I waited to drive Tuesday morning I would probably not use my best judgement for how fast I should drive and whatnot so my better judgement just told me to go on Monday.  Deal. 

 

I shopped Monday morning a couple blocks from St. Luke's South in Overland Park and marked several Christmas gifts off my list.  I'm not sure how many laps I made around Kohls just WAITING to be contacted!  Finally, 11:00am I could go to the hospital.  Jessica and Cale were settled and just waiting for more progress.  I arrived around 11:30am.  It didn't take long to make progress!

 

I don't think I was in the room much more than an hour when the nurse said it was time for some pushing.  Lana and I headed for the waiting room and more visitors arrived as we waited, the first of which was BIG SISTER KAYLIN!  It's always so good to get a hug from that little girl.
