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
