Alright, so here's the news! Kaya was born May 25, 2012 at 1:12am. She surprised the heck out of us when she was born because we were both so sure she was going to be a boy! So much for gut feeling, eh? She was 8.5 pounds, 20 inches long. Eight weeks have already gone by, yet I feel like it's been so much longer.
It can be so emotional being a parent. I cry all the time just from knowing she's my kid. I can't believe she's my daughter! She's amazing and beautiful! I cry when she's hurting or when I feel I can't help her, or when I'm happy just to see her and study her. I cry when she calms in my arms, or when I'm overwhelmed by the loads of work to do around the house in addition to tending to her needs.
In all these moments, no matter how hard or easy, I have no regrets. Sometimes I wish I could go back to where it was just Matt and me, because I miss what it feels like to do whatever we want, whenever we want, but then I think about Kaya and how much she means to me and I don't really want to go back. I enjoy having her in our lives so much and I think, soon, Matt and I will be able to be just the two of us again, here and there. Date night! Yet, I also look forward to nights where the three of us go out together and play; kick the soccer ball around at a park, fly a kite, walk to the dog park, bike around to feel the delta breeze. It's all so exciting!!!
Anyway, I'm cutting this blog short. I am prepping to go to New York tomorrow with Matt and Kaya for Virginia and David's wedding! We will share the same anniversary date as them, which I think is awesome and unique. We will never forget to say happy anniversary to them, since it will be the same date as ours. ;) Ta for now, Followers!
PS - apologize for the sappiness. I have always felt free to express myself sappily since I don't mind the potential embarrassment...
