The joy in our home!

Tyler was always willing to hold Kysa, He just couldn't seem to get enough of her. He is just so good with kids. I had to make sure I got pictures of him and Thomas holding her so I could show Kysa when she is a little older so she will know them when they get home from their missions. And also for proof that they were there for her birth!
My mom and brothers just visiting with Jaden's sisters family from Logan. 
Megan was the first to hold her and she was pretty excited about it. 
Out of everyone, Lexi, was the most excited to see and hold Kysa. She couldn't wait to see her new girl cousin!
Emilee holding her!
Keisha, Megan and Karleah. Keisha came to visit at the hospital a lot to see her new little neice.
Zac!
Kami, Jaden's sister feeding Kysa.
Rick putting her back to sleep after she ate.
Right after we got home from the hospital. Just sitting for some mother daughter time.

Jaden and I sleeping while she sleeps, lol!
She looks so sweet when she is asleep. 

Me and my little Kysa Lyn!

She is such a joy to have home with us! Jaden is convinced that she is growing so much. I have to keep telling him she is only a week and 3 days old, she hasn't grown that much. We are so greatful that God has entrusted this little spirit to us. She is such a joy in our lives.

She's finally here!

Filling out paper work and preparing to go have Kysa.
Kysa's first picture that she's clean in.
First Time holding my little girl. I was crying a bit.
Our first family picture!
The proud daddy feeding his little girl!
A few hours old.

As you can tell by the last post that Jaden did Kysa is finally here. She was born on Thursday, March 12th at 1:49 pm. She wasn't nearly as large as they has said she would be, thank goodness. She ended up being only 7lbs 8ozs, she is now 7lbs 3ozs. She is 21 inches long. She is tall and skinny like her mom and dad. 
She is the best baby, she hardly ever cries and she smiles a lot. It kind of makes me sad because she has already changed so much in 4 days. She looks mostly like Jaden. The only feature she really got from me was her cute nose. Other than that she is all her dad. She is so lucky that she looks like him!
I am recovering slowly. I am really sore! Pain pills work ok, but I am not really a big fan of taking narcodics. I had to stay an extra day in the hospital because the pain pills totally messed me up. I was so dizzy and light headed I thought I was going to fall over. It really scared me because I didn't know if it was seizure related. It scared me. 
I am happy to report that Jaden is doing great! He is the best dad ever. He has changed almost every diaper and always wants to feed her and burp her and anything else. She already has him wrapped around her finger. He will do anything for her. It is the cutest thing in the whole world. 
Tonight will be the first night that we keep her all night without sending her to the nursery. She is hard to sleep with because she squeaks and makes all kinds of noises all night. I am a little worried how we will do. I am sure we will be fine. Patients is all I need.
