Ryan has been outnumbered!!

I would like to introduce Kaia (Ky-a) Kimber Garrett, the newest member of our family! She was born today, Sept. 17th, at 12:15am. She weighs 7 lbs. 7b oz. and measures 19 1/2 inches long. This labor and birth was just as intense as Zoe's but far shorter so it makes for a very happy mommy! Zoe is excited to have another "doll" to play with and Ryan is probably feeling a little overwhelmed (just wait until they are teenagers!) Here are some pictures from my labor...I tried to make sure they were all G-rated! We are all so excited to have another girl!

Walking around outside trying to get baby moved into position

Laboring is painful!

This was right after Ryan woke up from an hour and a half nap! And he thinks he's exhausted!

Dear Ryan & Jessica - You two sure have a knack for having beautiful babies! Al and I are so happy for you and will be anxious to see Kaia in person. The only thing that surprised us is that she didn't get a middle name like "Colt" or "Smith & Wesson" or Derringer!! :<) Love you guys!

Nettie said...

I am so happy for you both! Of course I am always partial to my friends babies, but she is a beaut! Beautiful mama too! Aunt Annie and Nettie will be visiting soon:)
