Cade giving baby her last kiss and hug inside Mommy

What an entirely different birth than Cade's. Kendyll made it to her planned c-section date. It was very strange and weird to know the last day I would be pregnant with her and it not be a surprise!
The surgery and recovery went very smoothly with no complications! Yah! We were shocked at how much she looked like Cade at birth, but now she's developing her own look.
Cade meeting Kendyll for the first time- had to bribe him with some french fries first. He wasn't too thrilled, but warmed up to the new baby- I think since she didn't come home with him for the first couple nights.

There's a cool story behind Kendyll's pregnancy and birth. One of my very good friends, Daeni, and I called each other back in September to share some good news- we were both pregnant and expecting babies in early May. As both our pregnancies progressed, another good friend, April, asked if she would be able to come home to meet both babies at the same time. That's when we figured we would try to room together in the hospital! We both delivered via c-section by the same Dr. on Monday- about 2 hours apart. Kendyll made her first friend, Kenna, immediately! 
Kendyll (left) and Kenna (right). Kenna is much more petite than Kendyll: 6lbs 6 oz and 19 inches. Kenna is also a lot more shy and quiet! She barely cried at all! Poor Kenna had to listen to Kendyll fuss a bit! 
Getting ready to leave the hospital
Look at this rascal face! Cade has been a little jealous, but is getting better at adjusting to the new baby. He isn't too happy about not being able to get too close to Mommy, but is getting plenty of love and attention from Daddy, Gammy and Aunty J. 
Kissing Kendyll- she doesn't look too thrilled!
