Here are some baby pictures for everybody. But first, some details about the labour; Mel was due to be induced (we got worried that she wouldn't go into labour before I left). We actually didn't want to be induced so we prayed about it before we left and we figured we'd see what happened. We got there at 8 am and waited for about an hour before they got to us (it was a busy night with 2 other baby's being born that night). The doctor checked Mel and she was 3 cm's dilated and her cervix was 75% thinned, which was progressed from the day before. After the doctor checked her she started getting some really good contractions and so they just decided to let us see what happened. So we walked for a couple of hours. At about 11 or 12 the doctor came back and said that she was 4 cm dilated and almost fulled thinned. Which was great news. We decided to speed things along with the waters being broken which happened at about 12:30. After that the contractions really picked up and active labour really begun. Kaitlyn Nancy Isabel Kramp was born at 4:10 pm with only 20 mins of pushing. The labour was great and Mel did it without any drugs (good job Mel). She weighed 6lbs 12 1/2 oz. She was 20" long and had a head full of hair. Kaitlyn was very alert that first 12 hours or so and ever since then she's been quite the sleeper.
Everything is going well, she's eating well and sleeping well. She's pooping and peeing and life seems to be a dream for her (literally).
Anyways, here are some pics for you to enjoy.

Oh!!! She's beautiful!! Thanks so much for sharing pictures with all of us! We are so thankful she is here, safe and sound. We look forward to getting a chance to hold that precious little baby girl when we see you.
As we mentioned before, we will be in the neighborhood (North Dakota) and would love to see you the weekend of October 22. I'm pretty sure that the birthday party for Grandma Barb will be on Saturday the 21st, so let us know if either Friday or Sunday will work for you. After all, what's 2 more hours between friends!!
We love and miss you all very much!
The Kelly's
