My Little Baby Kai



He's here! After being induced last Friday, Kai was born Saturday afternoon. I ended up having a C-section, which I wasn't thrilled about, but I'm just glad he's here now! I actually feel great and Kai is doing well, too!



He's such a sweet baby! A good eater, pretty good sleeper, hardly ever cries! Check out his 'tube socks'.



His little hat from the hospital didn't really fit, so this was the best my mom could find. Sheesh. Making a dork out of the kid already.



Love those little feet!



Ah, this sweet boy.



He loves his hair being washed!

Wow! That is one handsome newborn you have. Just beautiful! Congratulations. And you sure have a good attitude about having a C-section. I would've been thrown in the depths of depression over it. You are a stronger woman than I. ;)

And I'm sorry you had to get a c-section. I would've been bummed too, but there's only certain things you have control over. glad you're feeling well!

Ben and Dena said...

Kelly Congrats! He is SOOOO cute! Love him! I hope you guys are having fun! Miss ya!

Katrina said...

Hopefully it wasn't too bad! C-section is no fun, emergency c-section even less so, but look at what a bonus you get in the end! I hope they didn't kill you making you walk around afterwards. You look great (from the angles) and I can tell that he is just the apple of your eye - dorky hat and all. Enjoy enjoy!

Savannah Williamson Photography said...

Wow, congratulations. I bet you are loving being a mom, its pretty great. I can't believe how much hair he has, he is so cute. What a sweet little boy.

Kisha Atkin said...

What a sweetheart!!! hope you are adjusting well to the new mom schedule and that you recovered quickly from the good ol' c-section. Whew. I went there and it wasn't that awesome - but having the baby is totally worth it and more! We are making our blog private but if you get some time send me a quick email and I'll send you an invite so we can keep in touch! kisha.atkin@hotmail.com
