Heart Kya at home update...

HI EVERYONE! Kya is napping so I just wanted to let you know that she is doing great! This is our 5th day at home, but it's my first day home alone with her. I was worried that when all the excitement died down, she would be less thrilled to be here but she seems fine.

A couple nights ago, Kya wouldn't fall asleep. She would crack up laughing then give me and my husband kisses and throw herself on the pillows laughing. This went on for over 30 minutes! It felt like she was expressing how happy she was. So we just let her go until she was wore out. We were laughing with her.

I am such a proud mommy and I pray Kya's transition continues to go smoothly.

Here are some pictues. One with her Aunt Gina. One of Kya in her closet. And two pictures with mommy.

First of all, she is BEAUTIFUL!!! And she does look so happy. An old southern expression..."don't borrow trouble!" She probably is happy. Don't waste time thinking she really isn't/will figure out where she is/etc. She is with her mommy and her daddy! I am convinced that somehow these babies now how we were fighting for them...at least that is how I feel about our little guy. Like he knew from day one that we were ok and he was supposed to be with us.
Enjoy!!!! So glad you are home after all you have been through.
