Our newest princess...

She is finally here! And I have to say, I am just getting used to the fact that she is a SHE! She was 6 lbs. 7 oz. and 18 1/2 inches long.
We didn't find out the gender of our baby until the day she was born. For some reason I thought we were going to have a boy....I guess mother's intuition is not as reliable as I would have guessed! When they told me it was a girl, I was so shocked. It took me 2 days to name her because I had not REALLY thought of girl names, because I thought I was having a boy!

We finally came up with a name by the 3rd day, but we didn't put it on the birth certificate until the day we left....just in case! I am so excited that she is a girl because it gave me the opportunity to name her after my best friend, someone I look up to, someone who is beautiful in every aspect of her life, someone who makes me want to be a better person myself. We named her Kaiya Braumlee Saunders, after her Aunt Braumlee, my younger sister. In the picture above, Braumlee is holding her namesake. I know that Kaiya will be proud to be named after such an amazing person.


We are loving every second of this beautiful little girl. She already has found a special place in all of our hearts. Now, if she could just figure out that we sleep at night and play during the day!
