Meet Mia

On Sept 4, Kayla became a big sister to little Mia who wailed her way into the world a little past noon. She looks a whole lot like Kayla and is a total dream baby. She sleeps well, eats well and has such a sweet little soul. In short, she's one of those babies that are really easy to love.

It's been a really hectic week since we returned from the hospital. Mia, like Kayla, also has jaundice (due to blood group incompatibility) and had to be re-admitted on September 10 for a full-day tanning session. Fortunately, the levels dipped and she could come home today (September 11), but we still have to keep a close eye on her and return a week later for another check-up. Do pray that she'll be well.

Kayla's adjusting well to having a little sister. In fact, she's been showing a lot of love to the little one. I know she can't wait to play with her. I'm still a little dazed from my pain meds and all that crazy running around so I'll keep this short and sweet. Here are some shots of little Mia Kay-Ann.

I'm also working on setting up a blog for both of them. Stay tuned. :)

She looks a lot like Kayla when she was a newborn, except Mia has a full head of jet-black hair with the cutest little curls at the ends.


Like Kayla, she spent a lot of time in the tanning booth.

Chilling out in Daddy's arms.
I'm a Girl: Mia arrived weighing 6lbs 13 oz, measuring 19 inches long with a 33-cm head circumference.

Thrilled with becoming a big sister: I think this picture perfectly captures her amazement and awe!

Showing more love to her baby sisi.
Even more love.

Chilling at home.
The obligatory feet shot.
