Has is really been three and a half months?! I will be doing my very best to get all caught up over the next week, so for now we'll start where we left off, birth day.
Everything went well with the birth and Kaiya Jane Reynolds made her grand debut on Thursday July 5 at 9:23 am. She was 6 pounds 12 ounces and 19 inches long. She had 14 people waiting in the waiting room to meet her when she graced us with her presence, spoiled with love from day one! We were in the hospital for two days and had a steady flow of visitors the whole time. Doug took three weeks off from work, so it was a pretty easy transition once we got home. I was slow moving at first, but my recovery was quick and having Doug home definitely helped with that. He is an amazing husband and father and I wouldn't want to be on this journey with anyone else.
Kaiya has been a pretty good sleeper from the start, which of course, made our lives all the better. We actually had to wake her up for feedings. We still have our sleepless nights every now and then, but every night can't be perfect right?! Breastfeeding has had its ups and downs, but we've settled into a routine and we are both doing well with it now.
I must say that the last three and half months have been pretty amazing!!
