On Monday, May 9th at 6:36 am Chris and I welcomed our daughter, Kensington Marie, into the world. She was a very good girl and came the morning after Mother's Day. (I really wanted to make it to my favorite restaurant for lunch that afternoon!)
Labor was quick, just under 4 hours, with no drugs! My doctor almost didn't make it to the hospital! Kesnington is much smaller than we thought! Chris and I were both 22 inches and I was 9lbs, so we just assumed she'd be bigger! But, she weighed in at 7lbs 9oz and 19 inches long. She has a full head of hair! So glad that I bought all those hair bows!
We spent one night in the hospital, and came home on Tuesday. I was very ready to get home! Of course the coming home dress I bought for her was huge!! But the bow fit!!
Yesterday we spent the day at home enjoying our new daughter. Chris has been able to work from home so he can spend the day with us! My parents are in town and they are LOVING being grandparents! Having them here has been so helpful. The house is clean and the meals are cooked, I just get to enjoy being a mom!
I think one of the best things about being a mom to a daughter is dressing her! We've had many outfit changes in the first two days, mainly because I love dressing her up! Of course some of the outfits are too big, I see it as an excuse to go out and buy more clothes! Everyone keeps telling me that in two weeks she'll fit into everything...but who wants to wait a few weeks! I think we'll stick to what we have though, considering her closet is overflowing! Grandpa is going to install a second rack in her closet today!
Here is what she has worn so far!
Second outfit for the day! She had to match her bed!
Then we had some good old naked time! It was hot in the house...and there is nothing cuter than a naked baby!
And her final outfit for the day! Company was coming...so we had to get dressed up!
I can't believe that this little bundle of joy is for us to keep! For the first day or so Chris and I both felt that we were babysitting or something and someone was going to come and take her back. I don't think it really hit us until we brought her home. We have loved every second of being parents, even the diaper changes! Which Chris has gotten very good at! She is a great sleeper and has only been getting up to feed at night every 4 hours, which her mother greatly appreciates! I can't wait to see her grow, but I also want to keep her this little forever!
