Brikelle Jade Pettit was born on September 15, 2008 at 1:26 pm. She weighed in at 7 lbs 4 ozs and she was 19'6" long. We arrived at the hospital at 8:00 for our scheduled induction. Therefore, Shantel was only in labor for 5 1/2 hours. The doctor said that she would have gone on her own the same day anyway.
Brikelle is healthy and she is already eating well. Shantel and I know what we are doing now and we are not stressing out about all of the small stuff. We have had plenty of visitors and we are thankful for all of the support that we have received. Grandma Sharae and Grandpa Dave have done a great job watching Kohen. I don't think that Kohen will even want to come home.
Kohen has received Brikelle fairly well so far, but we don't think that he fully knows what is going on yet. He has basically ignored her except for a few kisses here and there. The real test will come when we go home to the real world.
