Kayleigh is here!!

Our precious baby has finally arrived! I decided to be induced, after the doctors gave me the option, in case she was big. If I had continued to wait for her to come when she got ready, she may have been almost 9 lbs, which the dr said I would not have been able to have without c-section.

Kayleigh Jo West was born Wednesday, January 28th, at 2:54 pm. She weighed 8 lbs 4oz and was 21.25 inches long. She has dark hair, but is missing some at the front of her head:) She is a wonderful baby and seems to be pretty happy. She only cries when she is hungry or when you are changing her diaper. I love to watch her sleep after eating-she smiles and laughs alot. Its SOOOO cute!! Ansley is a good big sister. She loves to help and loves to rub her head and give her kisses. It has been a big adjustment (which we expected) for all of us. But each day seems to get a little easier! Gary has been wonderful-taking care of me, Ansley, and Kayleigh, and all the stuff around the house that has to be done.

We are so grateful to have 2 precious, healthy little girls. Our family is complete. We are just going to enjoy every moment while we can because it is going so fast. We have also been blessed with wonderful family and friends that have been so good to us. Thank you to my awesome friends in my Moms Group that have been bringing us dinner every night (which they are doing for 2 weeks!!!)-what a relief to not have to worry about whats for dinner-my least favorite decision of the day!!!! Thank you to Rebecca for keeping Ansley so we could go to the hospital to have Kayleigh-I know Ansley had a great time and I was happy knowing she was in good hands! Thank you Anna for bringing Ansley to us at the hospital so she could meet her little sister and for bringing dinner and cookies (YUM) the night we got home from the hospital.!! Thank you to Mom and Dad for taking care of Ansley and always being there for us-Gary and I don't know what we would do without you!And thank you to all those that have kept us in your thoughts and prayers, came to see us, called to check on us, and everything in between. I'm sure I am forgetting someone or something, so hopefully you will see it on my next update.
