Leah's first day out of the house


Wow what a long pregnancy...I am glad that it is over and ready to get back to "normal". I am so happy with the end result of my pregnancy of course. I love being a mom and can't believe how much all the woe's of being pregnant don't even matter now. On June 13th I finally went into real labor when my water broke. I had a few false alarms prior to that. I ended up having to have a c-section and had some complications with the delivery but all is well now. In the end Leah was born weighing 8 lbs 3 oz and was 20 inches long. She is gorgeous and I can't believe she is finally here! She is so sweet and loves to sleep for now. Kevin did such a great job jumping into his "dad" role. I couldn't ask for better while we were in the hospital. Kevin not only took care of me but he also had to do everything for Leah as well. I have to say seeing your husband being a dad makes you love him even more.
As for me I am still recovering from the c-section and can't get around the best. I am taking maternity leave from work and I have to say staying at home is new experience. Of course taking care of Leah keeps me busy but it is an adjustment being at home all day. I do love being at home with her but I was surprised at how I miss going into work and associating with othr adults..I know weird.
