Kendra's At The Hospital

I can't believe I am finally getting back to Kendra and her birth.  The main delay was space to set up a hospital dio.  Iniatially, I was going to show her water breaking at home, and then show them arriving at the emergency room.  I cut all of that out in the interest of getting the story done.  Today, I decided to use the area where the Mane Event hair salon was located.  Don't worry.  Kara will get her salon back right after the birth.

I created Kendra a special birthing room. It isn't the typical birthing room, but I think she will be comfortable here.

 Nurse Sasha brings Kendra into the room.  Nathaniel is close behind, carrying Kendra's hospital bag.  The first part of the room has the hospital bed and a couch.  The second part of the room is where the birth will take place.

"So this is where you will give birth."  (Nurse Sasha)

 "Okay.  It's nice that I won't have to go far."  (Kendra) 
"Well let's get you to your room."  (Nurse Sasha)

"Okay Mrs. Burke, let's get you out of this chair."  (Nurse Sasha)

Nurse Sasha reaches down to put the brakes on the wheelchair.

"Honey, take my bag."  (Kendra)
Kendra is noticeably a little snippy.  I guess toting another human being around for nine months can make a person a little irritable.

Once the brake is secured, Nate attempts to help Kendra.
"Honey, you are pulling too fast."  (Kendra)
"I'm sorry."  (Nathaniel)

"How's that?  Are you okay?" (Nathaniel)
"I wouldn't exactly say that I was okay.  But there's not much you can do to help with that."  (Kendra) 

"Well Mrs. Burke, I'm going to leave you to get dressed.  Then I'm going to come take your vitals.  Can I bring you something to drink?" (Nurse Sasha)  
"Do you have anything to eat?  I'm starving."  (Kendra)

  2. Oh, Kendra. At least it's almost over, and they'll get to see the baby they wanted for so long. The room she's staying in looks very comfortable. Great Dio.

    1. Verona - You say it's almost over. She feels like it's just beginning. She's hoping she doesn't have one of those marathon labors.

  5. Oh, fiddle dee dee, fiddle dee dee! We about to birth a baby! I'm so excited and I don't even like babies, lol. Nathaniel better batten down the hatches because I think a lot of angst is about to be directed his way.

    1. Muff - Kendra said, "What's this 'we' stuff? I'm the only one in pain over here." Boy, she's getting snippier by the minute. I don't think Nathaniel has a clue about what he's in for.

  7. Hope it's a quick and easy labor for her (well, as quick and easy as it can get anyway). It'll definitely be worth it in the end though. :)

    1. Georgia Girl - You and everyone else was wondering if it would ever happen. This story almost didn't happen. I couldn't find the happy couple here in my studio. I was like, how did I lose a pregnant woman? Took me several hours to find them. lol.

  11. Hello from Spain: you create this room very pregnant. I see you have very real details. I see that you have a wheelchair. I like the bedspread. I'm looking forward to have her baby Kendra. Luck and best wishes! Keep in touch

    1. Marta - I just deboxed that wheelchair. It's been sitting on my shelf for many, many years. The Becky doll that came with it is quite unique and has wonderful articulation. The bed and the bedspread have been changed. I'll explain why in the next post.

    2. Well, we do need the occasional male, you know. I'm sure Kendra will be glad when it's all over and I hope this stage doesn't last too long.

  19. I am behind in reading Kendra's story.

    Love the birthing room set up.

    Empathy for Kendra and Nate, who I hope doesn't receive choice words from Kendra during the little one's delivery.

    1. DBG - As you can see, she still hasn't given birth. lol. You are behind in reading, and I'm behind in telling it. I really wanted her to have a handsculpted baby, but between making pianos and baby cribs to sell, I just don't have time to make it happen. She will more than likely be birthing a Mattel baby.
