Kayla May Bayazitoglu

She's finally here!!! Well, she's actually been here for just over 4 weeks but I'm just now getting around to updating our new blog! Life with a newborn makes it hard to find any 'free' time, but we wouldn't have it any other way!

For those who don't know, our baby girl, Kayla May Bayazitoglu, made her grand entrance on September 3rd at 3:04 pm, weighing 6 pounds 9 ounces and measuring 19.5 inches long. It is impossible to put into words how we felt in those first few moments that we first layed our eyes on her and heard her cry - it was truly an amazing experience! We are so fortunate and grateful for her safe arrival and the start of our new family!

Just as we expected, life over the past few weeks has been very busy with feedings, diaper changes and sleepless nights; however, it's been such a joy to hold her, play with her, and watch her grow. Speaking of growing, at her 2 week appointment Kayla weighed in at 7 pounds 2 ounces (25th percentile) which was such a relief since she was down to 6 pounds the day we left the hospital. She was also up to 21 inches long (75th percentile).

We are so thankful for all of the visits and well wishes from all of our family, friends and neighbors. I'm a little behind on thank you notes but promise they are on the way :)

Here are some pictures from her first few weeks. Hope you enjoy!!!
