Welcome Baby Kaian. Prounounced "ky-en"
Kaian Naleieha Loebl, born 10:58am Sunday August 9,2009. Weighed 7lbs 11oz and 20 1/2 inches long. Mom is currently recovering in post pardum and Kaian will shortly be joining. My hat is offically off to any mother. Melissa had a very long and painful labor as she was dialated all the way to the 8-9cm mark to only have to resort to a cesarian. Melissa's goal during this pregnancy was to work as hard as possible no matter how long, to have a vaginal birth. However, due to slight complications it ended after almost 40 hours as doctors favored for the cesarian. Being next to Melissa's side during the C-section was a hardest thing I've ever had to do, seeing her going through so much pain. Melissa was a trooper and her reward for all the hard work over the last two days is a beautiful newborn boy. Melissa's recovery will follow this post. Thank you to all friends and family for all the support over the last 9 months!!!!!

ReplyDeleteHurray - Tim and I were a little worried when the last blog at 8:45am yesterday wasn't updated after 40 plus hours of labor. That was one long LABOR PAIN even for us!! We checked the blog frequently, but saw no updates until later in the evening. Hey, who says motherhood is easy. Love to all, Karen & Tim
