13 January 09 - Keely Jayde



Our little piece of heaven has arrived. Her name's Keely Jayde. Nikki called me on the 7th and told me that she was in the hospital. She was having strong enough contractions that the doctor thought she'd go into labor any minute.



Two days later, on the 9th, Nikki started labor, and on the 10th, after over 20 hours of labor, she had a c-section. Keely was in the wrong position for birthing and try as he might, the doctor couldn't get her to turn the right way.

Both Nikki and Keely are doing great. Keely has jaundice, so she's under a lamp getting some sun right now. The doctor thinks that she'll get better within a day or two.



Also, I got to come home for a couple of days to be with my girls. I'll have to go back to fort Lewis for another three weeks or so, then I'll be home for good.

Sorry that this posting is coming so late, but we've been pretty busy for the past few days, as you might imagine.
