Baby Kaia

Kaia Danielle was born on October 16th at 5:57 am weighing 7 lbs 2 oz and 20 inches long.
The night before her arrival, Nate and I dropped Rusty off at my parents and then headed up to the hospital to be induced since I was at a 4 and the baby was just not coming. Everything was going pretty smoothly until I got my epidural...which did not work. Nor did the second dose or the adjustment or the third dose. But everything was worth it to have such a sweet, healthy little baby.
*This picture makes me laugh, but it is good to know she has such healthy lungs!
Everyone is adjusting better than expected. Rusty just loves his little sister and the only time he's been upset with her is when he was trying to read her a book and she wouldn't stop crying. He finally got fed up and walked off saying, "I'm going to my room where it's nice and quiet!".
Nate has also been a huge help and loves his little girl.

Luckily Kaia is a super pooper, helping bring her billirubin levels down, so as of yesterday she no longer has to go in for daily checks. I love my little family!!!
