Getting Ready For Kenna's First Christmas...

Well, as you can see, my mom and I had fun taking Kenna's first Christmas photos. She has grown so much lately. I see Cameron more and more in her! Cameron is still helping a lot. Its nice having each other to lean on when we need it. She still melts our hearts everyday!

Kenna Days

Well Kenna has been adjusting very well at home. As you can see, she sleeps a lot, and she loves her Dad's shoulder... She's been an absolute delight. Its amazing, just the other day she was in a lot of pain from gas, and I was feeling just a little frustrated because there was nothing I could do to make make her gas pain go away immediately (and that makes me want to cry for her), then as soon as she stopped crying and relaxed I wanted to cry just looking at her because of the love I felt for her. Its overwhelming at times, in a good way of course.

She is starting to smile now! Its the cutest thing! Cameron is really glad now that he took this time off work to have all these first moments with her. I'll post some more photos soon, with her eyes open!

Kenna's First bath

My cousin, Jocelyn, gave me the best advice for giving Kenna a bath, to heat up the bathroom first to make it comfortable and warm for her. As you can see, Kenna loved her first bath!

Video of Kenna

Here is a video clip for you. Now you can see how entertained we are by her! We just love her. I almost cried watching her breast feed yesterday! What an amazing feeling...

Kenna McLeod Riach

Our new addition arrived on Monday morning! Her name is Kenna McLeod Riach. She was delivered by C-Section, and the whole procedure couldn't have gone more smoothly! Everything moved really fast as soon as we arrived at the hospital. Alicia came to the hospital at 6:30 AM, and she was able to be with me and Cameron in the Pre-Op AND the O.R. for the birth! She knew the anesthesiologist from surgeries she's been in, and he allowed her to come in. We were so thrilled to have her a part of it with us. I was given a spinal (which didn't hurt at all!) and Kenna was born about 5 minutes after that! My doctor was sure this baby was going to be small because of how small I still looked, but she turned out to be 7 pounds 15 ounces! They said I really was "all baby". We stayed in the hospital until Friday morning. Our stay at the hospital was really nice. Cameron stayed every night with me, sleeping in a very uncomfortable hospital chair that folded out into a bed. Because I was unable to do pretty much anything, Cameron did it all! He was changing every diaper, getting up to tend to her every need, taking care of me... He was incredible. Now we are home, and he is still taking care of me and the baby. But I did make him pancakes this morning! I'm doing great, and the pain medication is really helping. I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Love, Cameron, Karen, and Kenna
