Sleep? Who needs sleep?!

 

Kayla has a wakeful time for about 2 hours just when we normally go to sleep.

 

It's getting shorter, so we are hoping that she'll align her day to ours. She's staying awake more in the day, and we're hoping that this will help.

 

So far so good....

Sweet Dreams

 

I suppose that it's quite normal. Maybe only parents 'get it'. I just love watching her sleep...

More pix of the baby

 

Here is Kayla and her mommy just before her first time out of the house. We went for a walk around Hill Park, our neighbourhood. It was a lovely day.

 

Here's a shot of her little hand.

 

Here is her hair, which was a big surprise after Connor. He had no hair for a good while after he was born.

 

And this is my little sweetheart saying, "Enough is enough!"

It's a girl!!!

Well, I suppose that you all know that by now... And that is why everyone is bugging me to get a blog post up! So here it is with all the particulars. Kayla came into the world at 0123 Sunday the 28th of January, at 7lbs 11oz, 52 cm. All parts accounted for. She is already sleeping 2-3hrs at a time in her crib, and doesn't cry out loud enough to wake Connor when she does. She's a wonderful little baby, and we are thinking that she may fall under the Angel Baby classification from the Baby Whisperer book. She is amazing in every way.



Kristi should be given a medal or something. She was feeling 'pushy' on the way to the hospital, but when her water broke as we walked through the door, we knew something was definitely up! They signed us in and started walking us to the elevator to the delivery ward (normally they examine moms on the ground floor to see if they are ready to go to delivery). About half way down the hall, the nurse decided to run back and get a wheel chair, then zoomed us down to the elevator and then up the elevator and whisked us to the room. They got Kristi on to the bed, got her clothes off, and told her it was OK to push a bit. They went to examine her, and what do you know, the head was half way out! 8 minutes after Kristi got in the bed Kayla was born (11 minutes after we signed in at the door). Wow, what a blur.



Connor is very excited to have a little sister and is busy planning all the things he is going to teach her. He was very excited to be sharing his room with the new baby (I hope he stays excited until we move to larger accomodations ;-).
