03/04/2007 Kaya now weighs 9 pounds! Her new website will be launching soon. 02/22/2007 Kaya is 3 months old, weighs 8 1/2 pounds and is a good eater. She is very happy, smiles all the time and is very aware. She loves to read books with her mommy and takes lots of naps. 02/04/2007 It’s Kaya! Our strong willed Kaya was born with a hole in her heart and had it repaired at four months old. These are some of her photos pre-surgery. The surgery at Boston Children’s Hospital made a huge difference in her appearance, as her body was not able to process the nutrients as her breathing was so rapid. 12/25/2006 Baby’s 1st Christmas. 12/02/2006 We have continued to enjoy our Thanksgiving angel. The house is quiet now and we have had a chance to lay around and get to know her personality. Like most newborns, her needs are around the clock; nursing, pooping & peeing and sleeping. She had a rough start at home due to a high bilirubin count aka jaundice. We rented a portable biliblanket which lowerd her count after 3 days. We celebrated her first real poop last night which helps to pass the bilirubin. Her color and mood improved after this. More images below: 11/22/2006 Kaya was born at 4:56pm, or at 1656 military time which happens to be the last 4 digits of our phone number (cool!). She is a very healthy baby weighing just under 6lbs. Kim’s water broke at 1:15am. By 2am we were at the hospital. They induced her at 5:30am and little Kaya joined the world almost 12 hours later. We were able to leave the hospital 24hrs later and are now home. Kim & Kaya are doing great. What a thanksgiving with our own lil’ pumpkin! I will post more images and video as they come in. |
