Introducing....

Kalli Faith Huffman. She finally arrived on April 22, 2010. She is our little Earth baby =). So I hit my due date and was starting to get impatient. I had a question about something for my doctor and he told me to come in and see him the next day (now 3 days late). He said it was nothing to worry about and sent me back home... I was sooo bummed! I took the kids bowling and ran some errands, but started to feel contractions every 20 minutes. I continued to have contractions every 20 minutes from 2pm to 5am- yeah, really fun! I basically didn't get any sleep- around 5am they started coming 10 minutes apart- my doctor said to come in when they were 5 mins apart. So I got up to shower and all of a sudden they started coming every 2-3 mins- I turned off the shower and told Matt we had to go now!! It was raining and I felt myself wanting to push in the car! I started to worry about two things: I wouldn't make it to the hospital and if I did, it would be too late for the epidural. When I got to my room, the nurse checked me and said I was at a 9... I asked if I could please have the epidural. I could tell she thought I was a wuss, but I really wanted the pain to stop!!! I got my epidural, then just sat back and relaxed talking story with my doctor. She came after 4 pushes. I think we got to the hospital at 6:15 and she came at 8:15am. She looked just like Keia. She weighed 7lbs exactly. The whole hospital experience was awesome- I didn't want to put her down. Matt and I feel so blessed once again to have a beautiful, healthy baby.

Anywho- the name. So for months we were going to name her Maisy, but then one day a few weeks before she was due- Matt said I will use any name except Maisy. At this point the kids were calling her baby Maisy and I was starting to tell people that was the name. I always liked the name Kalli- but he was never that stoked on it- but he brought the name up again. This time when he told people the name- he liked their reaction! I liked Kalli because we feel so happy to be back in California and know this is our home now. Also- we kept the girls to all be K's- cheesy I know! For the middle name- we didn't want to choose a family name because this is most likely our last child and Keia has my side and Mattix has his side- so I have always loved the name Faith. It seemed appropriate for Kalli since I had over 50 doctor appointments between the Swine Flu, getting the parvovirus, and the Thryroid specialist. It took a lot of faith and prayers hoping she would make it to us safely. Also- our move to California was a huge leap of faith for us- so the name stuck. Hopefully some cuter pictures will be on their way- our kids are always weird looking in the hospital =)
