Leila Lanae was born January 29, 2009 at 3:50 PM, 7lbs 13oz and 21 1/4 inches long! After a failed induction on January 21, labor was long and difficult. Jessica is recovering slowly thanks to the help of family and friends. And, most importantly, Leila is doing great!
Wow! Becoming parents has been the most awesome gift Javin and I have ever received! All the aches and pains of pregnancy and labor have long been forgotten...we are in such awe of what God has created! We knew we would love her, but could never have imagined a love this strong and deep. We have been truly blessed and I cannot tell you how many times a day we thank God for this little miracle! It's been almost as amazing watching my husband become a father! He is so incredibly kind and gentle with her and she absolutely adores him already. I am a very lucky woman to have such a devoted husband!
Leila has been a great baby thus far. She nurses well and then sleeps 4-5 hour stretches at night! We are being spoiled and I hope it continues this way! She loves to coo and talk and we think she might end up being left handed. That left hand is always moving and grabbing! Her skin is darkening and she looks beautifully tan already. We're hoping she won't loose all her dark hair, but it looks like it's starting to thin. We just can't get enough of her!
