We are a family of 3!!!

I know .... I know. Why haven't I posted anything? Well when you have a newborn and she wants to eat every 2 hours; it makes things a bit difficult :) But we are loving every minute of it, even the tough moments.

After the doctor broke my water at 8am, we were expecting her to join us sometime that evening. She decided to join us at 3:34pm instead. We couldn't be more thrilled with how the entire process went.

We named her Reesa Rene Kelley. Reesa comes from the Spanish word Sonrisa. We wanted to have a Hispanic first name. Matching it up with a last name like Kelley was not easy. Thanks to my Uncle Steve who brought an extremely long list to dinner one night, gave us Reesa. We also wanted to have something from my side of the family. Rene is my Father's first name, I wanted her to have a strong middle name. Kelley is our last name; figure we should keep that.

More to come in time. For now, a few photos of baby Reesa over that last few days.

Family photo time at the hospital!!

Mommy drinking her Starbucks right before going to our check-out class that mentions not to drink hot beverages while breastfeeding. Oops. My coffee is about luke warm by the time I get to it anyways!!

Taking her home on Sunday.

And now a few of our favorite faces....

Thank you for all the encouraging words and prayer during our pregnancy, delivery, and our first week as parents.
