Kale Timothy Nicoll---2/7/12

He's here! Kale Timothy was born on Tuesday February 7th at 10:53 AM. He weighed in at a petite 9 lbs 6 oz! I knew he was gonna be a big baby, but I didn't think he would be that big! He was 20 inches long. The doctor induced me a week early and I was so grateful he did. He said that if we hadn't induced, he would have easily been a 10 pound baby! We went in to be induced at 1:30 Tuesday morning. Yeah, it's a horrible time. I didn't sleep at all before going in because I was starting to freak out, so I was already tired going to the hospital. I won't give you all the birth details (Although I know some of my friends want to know the whole story! If you do, let me know!) but everything went pretty well. The doc said afterwards that he probably should have done a C-Section, but all in all, everything went well. It was a bit easier than with Mylin, being that I only had to push for like 15 minutes instead of hours!



Mylin was excited to see the baby, but as soon as she saw me hold him, her little lip stuck out and she started bawling. Bad. It broke my heart! Then she same and sat by me on the bed and was like hysterically crying. I finally got her calmed down and then Kale started crying. Then I got him calmed and Mylin started crying again and then I realized I was already overwhelmed with two kids! But after a while, Mylin really started to love Kale. She didn't want anyone else (like my mom or the nurses) to hold Kale.



First bath.

Thankfully my momma was here to help us. She came a few days before I had Kale and stayed a week. We seriously could not have made it through that week without her! It was such a blessing to know Mylin was in good hands while we were at the hospital. (It was the first time I had ever left Mylin over night.) So thank you mom for all the help!! Tim's mom is here this week and has also been a huge help. YAY for grandmas! You both are awesome!

He looks just like Mylin when he cries!

On the ride home from the hospital.



Kale had some presents for Mylin for when we got home from the hospital. (The first few days being home were so hard. Mylin was having a reallllly hard time adjusting and that meant a ton of tantrums and crying and screaming...but we are doing better everyday!)
She was so excited for her Tangled presents! A Rapunzel doll and dress.


Well....I have a lot more pictures to post and hopefully I will get those up soon--but you never know. This two kids thing is kinda hard! But it is so great at the same time. We love our new little man.

  3. 9 lbs! Healthy boy! Congrats! He is super cute! Any particular reason for the name Kale? Very cute name. Glad all went well and that Mylin is adjusting, I'm sure that is a big transition into 2 kids! You look great! Can't wait to see more pics!

  4. Congratulations Tori!! He is such a handsome "little" guy!! Hopefully the transition will get better and better with time, but it definitely is tough trying to balance two kids and both of their needs! You will do great!!

  6. So precious! Congratulations you guys! Don't worry with Mylin...Lexi acted the exact same way when Caden was born! I think it's normal. She quickly adjusted though! Good luck with 2!

  7. He's so chunky! I love it! Once you feel more yourself, two kids will be a breeze. Right now it may seem hard because you are still healing on top of being a mommy of two but don't worry it gets easier. Especially as the kids get older and can play together, you'll love it!
