Kaya's First Week (including her birth)

Some photos are not in chronological order...it has been a time-warp of a week!

Glad to be home. 

Tis the season for poppies...

First day home!

I like my name.  So does my great-Grammy Evelyn.

Mommy & I worked hard and were tired.

Mommy fed me before she ate her "Congratulations" dinner.

One day old. 

First family shot! (Does't Daddy look happy?) 

Super doula (and super friend) Auntie Ariel.  She helped Mommy and Daddy lots. Plus, she thinks I am cute! 

I have long fingers.

My first few minutes checking out this world.

I am happy to look at my Mommy! 

First nap with Daddy!

He is cozy.

Mommy & Daddy think I have beautiful feet.

Look at my long hair!

Mommy & I hanging out after eating

I like to sleep- like my Mommy & Daddy.

Pre-Game (it was a long one!)

Giant sandwich.  Even more giant belly!

A little out of balance, but the hiking stick helped in the mud!

Super hiker! Let's get this party started...

As part of the lead-up to the 71 hours of labor, Lech and I went on several vigorous hikes in hopes of getting the show rolling.  Here are a few photos of one hike and the after-hike meal (check the 39+ week belly!).  The show started at its own pace, but I have very fond memories of this time together with my phenomenal husband.
