SATURDAY NIGHT, SUNDAY, MONDAY

AFTER BLAIRE WAS BORN

WE HEADED UP TO OUR HOSPITAL ROOM!

WE WERE A NEW KIND OF TIRED!

WE HAD BEEN AWAKE SINCE FRIDAY

MORNING!

BUT WE HAD VISITORS COME AND SEE

OUR SWEET NEW BABY AND BLAIRE

HAD HER FIRST BATH!

AND SHE GOT HER FIRST BOW!

 

 

THAT NIGHT WE DIDN'T SLEEP MUCH...

KYLE WAS ON THE HORRIBLE "BED" THAT IS REALLY

A CHAIR...

AND WE COULDN'T REALLY GET BLAIRE

TO NURSE!

IT WAS A ROUGH NIGHT!

BUT IT DIDN'T EVEN MATTER!

OUR SWEET BABY WAS FINALLY HERE AND IN OUR ARMS!

 

THE NEXT DAY WAS FILLED WITH

LOTS OF VISITORS

AND DOCTORS CHECKING TO MAKE

SURE BLAIRE BABY WAS DOING WELL!

SHE WAS PERFECT EXCEPT SHE HAD A HEART MURMER...

THAT MADE ME NERVOUS BUT

I WAS ASSURED THAT IT WAS VERY COMMON

AND THEY ARE USUALLY GONE BY THE FIRST WEEK!

SO I FELT BETTER!

OH AND KYLE LEARNED HOW TO CHANGE A DIAPER :]

WOOOOO!!!!

 

 

THAT NIGHT WAS ROUGH AGAIN

BUT WE STILL DIDN'T MIND AND THE

NIGHT NURSE WE HAD WAS SO PATIENT!

LOVED HER!

 

MONDAY MORNING I WAS RELEASED TO GO HOME

ANY TIME THAT DAY... BUT BLAIRE WASN'T!

I WAS HEART BROKEN!

ALL HELL WAS GUNNA BREAK LOOSE IF I HAD

TO LEAVE MY BABY AT THE HOSPITAL

AND GO HOME!

THAT IS NOT OKAY!

NO ONE WANTS TO DO THAT!!!

BLAIRE HAD LOST TOO MUCH WEIGHT SO

WE HAD ABOUT 12 HOURS TO TRY TO GET HER BACK

UP TO 6 LBS IN ORDER FOR HER TO BE RELEASED

WITH ME!

GAME ON!

 

FIVE O'CLOCK ROLLED AROUND

AND SHE STILL WASN'T QUITE THERE...

I CRIED!

I COULDN'T EVEN HELP IT!

I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE HER!

SO THEY FELT BAD FOR ME AND GAVE ME A LIL

MORE TIME!

SHE FINALLY WEIGHED 6 LBS :]

RIGHT AFTER SHE ATE AND WITH A FULL DIAPER...

BUT HEY SHE GOT RELEASED!

YES!!!!

 

 

ABOUT 9:00 MONDAY NIGHT WE GOT

TO HEAD HOME!

IT WAS FREEZING!

AND I HAVE NEVER SEEN KYLE DRIVE SO CAREFULLY!

 

WE STOPPED AT DEL TACO ON THE WAY HOME...

WE FIGURED IT WAS FITTING SINCE ON OUR

WEDDING DAY WE WENT TO TACO BELL...

YES, YES WE ARE SUPER CLASSY!

 

MY FAMILY MET US AT HOME

WITH BLAIRE'S FIRST FHE :]

MY MOM GOT HER AN ELF ON THE SHELF!

I LOVE IT!

IM SO EXCITED FOR FUTURE CHRISTMASES!

THEN THEY SNUGGLED BLAIRE

AND KYLE HELPED ME SHOWER!

I NEVER REALIZED HOW THANKFUL I AM FOR BEING

ABLE TO SHOWER ON MY OWN!

I KNOW NOW!

:]

AFTER WE WERE A LITTLE SETTLED IN
OUR FRIEND DILLON
CAME OVER!
HE COULDN'T WAIT TO MEET THE NUGGET!

 

AND THAT WAS THE START

TO OUR NEW LIFE WITH OUR

NEW BABY GIRL

AT HOME!!!

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



 

 

DECEMBER 15, 2012

BEST DAY EVER!

SO IT WAS FRIDAY THE 14TH OF DECEMBER...
MY DAD HAD PUT TOGETHER A LIL COMPETITION TO
SEE WHO COULD GUESS THE DAY OUR LIL GIRL WOULD BE
BORN AND HER WEIGHT!
YOU HAD TO PUT IN YOUR GUESSES AND $2.00 FOR
EACH GUESS!
THEN WHOEVER WON, GOTTHE POT!
SO KYLE PICKED THE 14TH JUST BECAUSE
HE HAS THE WEEKENDS OFF SO HE FIGURED THAT WOULD
BE A GOOD DAY!
SO THAT MORNING WE WOKE UP AND
I WAS HAVING LOTS OF CONTRACTIONS THAT HURT...
BUT THEY WEREN'T STEADY!
WE WENT TO TARGET TO GET THE LAST FEW THINGS
WE NEEDED FOR OUR GIRL AND THEN
WE WENT TO TACO BELL FOR LUNCH!
KYLE BROUGHT ME HOME AND WE PUT UP OUR TREE
AND THE HE HAD TO GO TO WORK!
HE WAS CONVINCED THAT TODAY WAS THE DAY...
SO HE DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO PACK DINNER
FOR WORK!
HAHA I LOVE HIM!
HE WENT TO WORK AND I KEPT GETTING TEXTS ASKING
IF IT WAS TIME YET!
IT WASN'T...
BUT EVERYONE WAS WORRIED THAT I WAS HOME ALONE,
SO I WENT TO MY PARENTS HOUSE!
MY MOM WAS DECORATING HER TREE AND WE DECIDED
WE BOTH NEEDED MORE STUFF SO WE WENT TO HOBBY LOBBY!
AFTER WALKING AROUND THERE FOR 2 HOURS, I HAD HAD ENOUGH!
I WAS SO READY FOR BED!
I WENT HOME AND PUT THE LIGHTS ON OUR TREE AND
WAITED FOR KYLE TO COME HOME!
HE GOT HOME AND I TOLD HIM IT WAS HAPPENING...
BUT REALLY I WASN'T TOO SURE!
WE SHOWERED AND STARTED WATCHING
THE SANTA CLAUSE 2 WITH TIM ALLEN!
I COULDN'T CONCENTRATE THOUGH BECAUSE I WAS SURE THIS
WAS IT!
IT WAS BABY TIME!
KYLE GOT OUT HIS PHONE AND FOR ABOUT A HALF HOUR WE TIMED
MY CONTRACTIONS!
THEY WERE ALL 4 TO 5 MINUTES APART AND AT LEAST 30 SECONDS LONG!
SO I GOT UP AND GOT READY TO GO
AND FINISHED PACKING ALL WE NEEDED FOR
THE HOSPITAL!
KYLE PACKED THE CAR AND WE BOTH GOT DRESSED
AND HEADED OUT!
I KEPT TELLING HIM I WAS SORRY IF THEY SENT US
HOME SINCE I DIDN'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT
AND MY WATER HADN'T BROKEN!
THE FIRST SONG PLAYING IN THE CAR ON THE WAY TO THE
HOSPITAL WAS KENNY CHESNEY "THERE GOES MY LIFE"...
YEP THAT WAS FITTING!!!!
IT STARTS OUT  "ALL HE COULD THINK ABOUT WAS I'M
TOO YOUNG FOR THIS..." AND GOES ON FROM THERE!
SERIOUSLY FITTING!
SO WE GET TO THE HOSPITAL AND I GET CHECKED.
I WAS AT A 3 AND 90% THINNED OUT...
SO I HAD TO WALK AROUND FOR AN HOUR!
SHOOT ME!
IT WAS 1:30 IN THE MORNING!
I WAS TIRED AND MY CONTRACTIONS HURT!
BUT KYLE AND I WALKED AROUND!
AT 2:30 I GOT CHECKED AGAIN...
I WASN'T TO A 4 YET...
SO I HAD TO WALK AROUND FOR ANOTHER HOUR!
WERE THEY KIDDING?
NO THEY WERE NOT!
SO AGAIN, KYLE HELD MY HAND AND I WALKED
AROUND FOR ANOTHER HOUR!
WE WENT BACK AND GOT CHECKED AGAIN AND I
STILL HADN'T PROGRESSED MUCH BUT THE NURSE COULD
TELL HOW CLOSE MY CONTRACTIONS WERE AND THEY WERE A LITTLE WORRIED
ABOUT OUR BABY GIRLS HEART RATE SO WE WERE
FINALLY ADMITTED!
WOOOO!
KYLE WALKED ME TO OUR DELIVERY ROOM
AND I GOT THE CUTE LIL BACKLESS DRESS ON AND
THEN WE WAITED!
I GOT AN IV - THE NURSE STUCK ME 5 DIFFERENT TIMES
AND HAD TO TRY ON BOTH ARMS JUST TO GET THE NEEDLE
IN! KYLE ALMOST PASSED OUT!
I WAS WORRIED ABOUT HIM!!!
FINALLY I GOT SOME FLUIDS PUMPIN THROUGH ME...
AND MY CONTRACTIONS WERE A NEW
KIND OF HURT!
I WAS NOT PREPARED FOR HOW BAD THEY HURT!
OUR DOCTOR CAME AND BROKE MY WATER...
THEN MY CONTRACTIONS HURT WORSE!
KYLE WAS SO GOOD TO ME!
HE WAS BY MY SIDE THE WHOLE TIME!
HE KEPT TELLIN ME TO GRAB HIS HANDS BUT
I COULDN'T!
I HURT SO BAD THAT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
TO DO WITH THE REST OF MY BODY!
BUT I DID NOT CRY
OR BARF!!!
I WAS PROUD OF MYSELF FOR THAT!!!
FINALLY AROUND 7 A.M. I GOT AN EPIDURAL!
IT WAS AMAZING!
MY LEGS FELT LIKE THEY WERE ASLEEP FOR HOURS
BUT I WAS NO LONGER IN PAIN SO
IT WAS FINE!
THEN AROUND 10:00 IT WAS FINALLY TIME TO PUSH!
AND ON THE TV CAME THE SONG "DON'T WORRY
ABOUT A THING" - SO THAT IS HER THEME SONG!
ANYWAYS...
KYLE HELD MY RIGHT LEG AND MY NURSE
HELD MY LEFT WHILE
KYLE COUNTED TO 10 THREE DIFFERENT TIMES
FOR EACH CONTRACTION!
THIS DIDN'T HURT BUT IT SERIOUSLY WEARS YOU OUT!!!
I PUSHED FOR THREE HOURS!
AND POOR KYLE CHEERED ME ON AND COUNTED TO 10
AND STOOD NEXT TO ME AND FED ME ICE CHIPS FOR
THREE WHOLE HOURS!!
I FELL IN LOVE WITH HIM ALL OVER AGAIN!
HE WAS SERIOUSLY AMAZING!!!!
HE IS THE BEST HUSBAND ANYONE COULD ASK FOR
AND I'M SO GLAD HE WAS THE ONE BY MY SIDE
FOR THE WHOLE DELIVERY!
I'M A LUCKY GIRL!
FINALLY AFTER THREE HOURS,
OUR SWEET BABY GIRL MADE HER APPEARANCE!
KYLE CUT HER CHORD BUT IT HAPPENED SO FAST
WE DIDN'T GET A PICTURE!
THEN I DIDN'T GET TO HOLD HER RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE
SHE WAS MACONIUM...
THIS MEANS THE NICU HAD TO BE PRESENT AS
SOON AS SHE WAS BORN AND THEY HAD TO SUCK ALL
THE MACONIUM OUT OF HER AND MAKE SURE
SHE WAS OKAY!
LUCKILY SHE WAS AND THEN I GOT TO HOLD HER!
THE BEST FEELING IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!
IT IS SERIOUSLY INDESCRIBABLE!!!!
KYLE AND I LOOKED AT EACHOTHER AND SAID "BLAIRE" AT
THE SAME TIME... IT JUST FIT!
MY EYES FILLED WITH TEARS AS I LOOKED AT
THIS SWEET LITTLE BABY!
I COULDN'T BELIEVE SHE WAS HERE
AND THAT SHE WAS OURS!
KYLE AND I ARE WERE SO BLESSED!
SHE IS PERFECT AND SHE GOT HERE SAFELY!
KYLE WAS INSTANTLY IN LOVE!
I COULDN'T WAIT FOR HIM TO HOLD HER!
AND I LOVE THAT HIS EYES FILLED WITH TEARS AS HE
SNUGGLED HER CLOSE!
THERE IS JUST SOMETHING SPECIAL ABOUT A BRAND
NEW BABY!
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT IS YOURS!!!

BLAIRE K. BUNDY

SHE IS PERFECT!
WE LOVE HER!

SHE HAD A WHOLE WAITING ROOM FILLED
WITH PEOPLE WHO COULDN'T WAIT TO MEET HER!
SHE IS A LUCKY GIRL!
I LOVE MY FAMILY AND HOW SUPPORTIVE THEY ARE!
MY DAD CAME HOME FROM HUNTING TO SIT AND
WAIT AT THE HOSPITAL FOR HOURS AND MY MOM
WAS THE FIRST ONE THERE!!!
AND LYNDS OF COURSE CAME BEARING GIFTS
AND DIET COKE!!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE THEM!
AND KYLE'S FAMILY WAS THERE TOO!
KEV WASN'T VERY PATIENT!
BUT HE MADE IT!
AND THEY ALL CAME TO THE DELIVERY ROOM
TO MEET HER FOR THE FIRST TIME!


LABOR WAS ONE OF THE HARDEST
AND COOLEST THINGS I'VE EVER DONE!!!!!
I LOVED IT!
I WOULD SO DO IT AGAIN!
TOMORROW!
SERIOUSLY THOUGH!

14 HOURS OF LABOR
IS MORE THAN WORTH THE OUT COME!
NOT TO MENTION HOW MUCH
MORE IT MADE ME LOVE KYLE!
 

 

 

 



IT IS BABY TIME!!!

 

 

I LOVE HIM SO MUCH!

AND I'M SO LUCKY HE LOVES ME!

 

 

MOMMY CAME :]

 

 

POOR MACONIUM BABE!

I JUST WANTED TO HOLD HER!!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

BEST MOMMY MOMENT EVER!

SO SPECIAL!

 

 

KYLE AND I MADE THAT!

WHOEVER CLAIMS THEIR ISN'T A GOD...

HAS NEVER BEEN IN THIS POSITION I SWEAR!

 

 

DR. CHRISTENSEN!

HE DID AWESOME AND GOT OUR BABY HERE SAFE

AND SOUND!

 

 

 

OUR NURSE!

SHE WAS SO PATIENT AND NICE!

 

 

FOOTPRINTS :]

 

 

INSTANTLY IN LOVE!

PROUD DADDY!!!

 

 

SOMETHIN' SPECIAL ABOUT A DADDY

AND HIS NEW BABY GIRL!

 

FIRST FAMILY PICTURE!

THESE TWO ARE MY WORLD!

 

THIS LIL GIRL REALLY IS A MIRACLE...

LOOK AT GRANDPA'S SMILE!!!

 

 

FIRST KISSES FROM GRAM!

 

 

AUNT LOU IS IN LOVE!

 

PAPA BUNDY AND GRANDMA BUNDY!

 

SUCH A SUPPORTIVE FAMILY!

LOVE THEM!

 

 

AND THEN THERE WERE THREE :]

 

 

HER NAME WAS JUST AN IDEA OF MINE

AND HER DADDY FINALLY APPROVED AND HE LET

ME SPELL IT HOW I WANTED!

WE COULDN'T AGREE ON A NAME FOR FOREVER

AND WE DIDN'T HAVE ANYTHING SET IN STONE

UNTIL WE SAW HER!

IT WORKED OUT PERFECT!

THE GIRLS IN MY FAMILY ALL HAVE WEIRD SPELLINGS

AND WE ALL LOVE IT THAT WAY!

SO WE HAD TO ADD A LITTLE SOMETHING TO IT!

HOPEFULLY SHE WONT BE MAD WHEN SHE CAN'T HAVE A KEY

CHAIN SINCE SHE HAS A NOT SO NORMAL NAME WITH

A LITTLE DIFFERENT SPELLING!

AND HER MIDDLE NAME... IS JUST A "K"

THIS WAS ALSO A LITTLE SOMETHING DIFFERENT!

EVERYONE GOES BY JUST THEIR MIDDLE INITIAL...

SO WHY NOT JUST HAVE AN INITIAL?!

THE K IS FOR HER DADDY! KYLE!

& WHAT LIL GIRL DOESN'T WANT TO BE NAMED

AFTER THEIR DADDY :]
