Home at Last!

It has been a couple of days since my last post. We finally made it home late Saturday night. It was a long day but Kaylie traveled extremely well. She was a little grumpy on Saturday night and a little on Sunday, but that is understandable given such a long travel day. Especially so, since this was only her third trip beyond the confines of the hospital or hotel!

We just came from her 2 week pediatrician visit and she weighed in at 7 pounds 1 oz which is well over her birth weight of 6 pounds 12 ounces! The Dr said she looked great and all is well. She even grew a little as she is now over 19 inches long. We couldn't be happier.

I also wanted to mention how extremely thankful Jana and I are to have been chosen by Kaylie's birth mom Sena. We are so fortunate to have such a caring birth mom. Not to mention, we had the pleasure of spending a little time with Sena, her parents and daughter and they made us feel right at home. We became proponents of open adoption very early but this experience thus far has done nothing but make that stronger. We look forward to sharing more with Sena and her family as Kaylie grows. You can never have too many people who really love you and in that regard, Kaylie, and we in turn, are blessed!
