Melissa and Tucker are so very proud to introduce Kayla Jo Dowd to the world!!! Kayla was born one week over her due date on 11/25/2010.... Thanksgiving morning. She was born at 2:26 a.m. weighing 9.12 lbs and measuring 20.5 inches. We are thankful to say that she was born perfectly healthy.... besides a slight resemblance of her father(paternity test still pending).
She was delivered at Mercy Hospital in Sacramento, CA... The delivery was a breeze for Tucker, as he didn't feel a thing. Melissa was admitted to the hospital to be induced at 5:00 pm on 11/24/2010. Her initial measurement was 1 centimeter( For all you without kids and all the men reading this, it takes 10 centimeters to extract the kid from the mother) . Melissa's water was broken by her doctor at 7:30 pm and a hour later was administered Pitocin and a Epidural at 11:30 pm. The pushing started 2:15 am and Kayla was here just a few minutes later. Melissa did so well with the delivery(she took the pain like a CHAMP and didn't make a peep) that the nurses and doctors were astonished with her performance. They basically wanted a autograph.
So far Kayla enjoys sleeping, eating from mom's ANNOYINGLY large utters, and being kissed by her sister.
