Sneak Peek

The crowds have been clamoring for pictures, and while we can get online at the hospital, we can't open Facebook for some reason. So here's a quick sneak peek of our newest addition. Makenna Grace was born Wednesday, September 23, 2009 at 7:32 am via scheduled c-section.

(This post is in the wrong order because I (Matt) am doing it because we couldn't get the camera to upload the pictures on our laptop so I had to come to Dave and Julie's to do it. If you start at the bottom of this post and go up that is the way it should be :))

So far Mattaya is a big fan of "Kenna". :) She is thrilled to hold her and has been so gentle. Mattaya keeps chuckling and saying: teewwwt (cute), baby, kize (cries), waa waa waa, shhhhh. She loves to give her sister kisses on the keek (cheek) and name her various body parts: hair, eyes, nose, mouth, keek, etc.

Many of you have asked how Karisa is doing, and now we can finally say, "Really well!" Things were a bit rough at first, but we may have had some crazy expectations. Once they figured out the right pain pill combo and schedule, she was able to start getting up more regularly, and she's shown a lot of progress since then. Our hospital experience has actually been quite lovely as we have so many friends on staff taking care of both Karisa and Makenna. God has blessed us in sooooo many ways, and we praise Him for His amazing grace!

She looks almost exactly like Mattaya's newborn pictures, except that her face is a little wider and she's got even MORE hair than Mattaya did (minus the rat tail, and darker and curlier!). She's been sucking down bottles and belching like a champ. She's very content and sleeps well.

Hope you all enjoyed the sneak peek. When we get home and settled we will do an actual blog update so you can see everything.
