Welcome, Peanut!
Posted by Jules | Filed under That's Life
Alexia Jade (aka Peanut) was born on January 22nd, at 8:29 AM. She weighed in at 6 pounds, 11 ounches and 19 inches long. 10 fingers, 10 toes, and a good set of lungs. Looks like she may have inherited Mommy’s temper, oh boy.
I was in labor for roughly 9 hours, which was loads better than the 21 it took Kailyn to come out and face the world. I’m recovering fabulously, with the exception of being exhausted because baby hasn’t slept well. Also, she really likes the boob and always wants to eat. But, I think I’ve got swaddling down, and she’s sound asleep right now, looking mightly peaceful. I considered a nap, but I know the second I lay down, she’ll wake up.
Kailyn is adjusting well, so far. She’s only been woken up by a crying baby once so far, so she’s not tired and cranky, which I was worried about. She hasn’t asked if we can return the baby like she did about the dog when we first got him, so I think it’s going to be alright!
Scott is doing remarkable with the baby, and is very good about doing his fair share of taking care of her, hurray!
It’s a happy family, here.
And, for those that like to know why people pick their baby names.. Scott’s best friend Adam is Peanut’s godfather. His middle name is Alexandar (I know, poor guy, right? Adam Alexandar, sigh), so we took that and adapted it. Jade doesn’t have a significant meaning behind it, we just liked it. Kailyn’s middle name is Samantha, directly after her godmother, who is my best friend ever.
That’s all for now. I might be sparse for a little bit. I think it’s understandable.
