Kajsa Joy Ruder made her appearance on her due date of July 20th.
She was born at 4:06pm
Weighing 7lbs. 6ozs.
Length 18 1/4 inches
As you will see, I am doing well and so is she.
We are both recovering nicely and having fun getting to know each other.
My parents arrived 4 hours after she was born and will be staying until next friday.
THANK YOU!!!!
Priscilla and Riccara - awesome coaches and friends/sisters helped me through the entire delivery. Dimo was her first visitor and then Mom, Dad, Craig, Jess Heller, and Allison (last 2 former roomates) came later on that night.
I was discharged from the hospital about 30 hrs after admitted and have been to the pediatrician twice to have her weighed. She has already gained back her birth weight and is perfect.
As you will see...
Yes she is perfect, we could not have asked for a better blessing. Keep the main thing the main thing. Love dad.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Melissa!! Both of you are looking great!
ReplyDeleteYou might not remember me, but I went to school with you at IWU. I found your blog through a mutual classmate and saw that you have a new baby. Congrats!
