Introducing GREY ELLIS DAWN KALIN

February 15, 2011 will forever be marked in history as the day that our amazing little lady came into our world.
Grey arrived at 12:01pm weighing 6 pounds 7 ounces measuring 19 inches long after approximately 12 hours of back labour... with an epidural.

Daddy cut the cord and changed her first diaper... he is already the best father in the history of time and continues to be a compassionate and dedicated hands-on daddy.
I honestly could not have done this without "my rock'...

We are already mesmerized by Grey's beauty and impressive facial expressions. We've lost plenty of hours just starring at her sweet face.

The first week had proven to be exciting, challenging and full of serious bonding while Mommy & Daddy took 2 hour shifts throughout the night holding Grey so she would sleep... (Ella periodically joined the shifts but mainly to ensure that her baby was well taken care of and then promptly returned to bed)

This past week has shown loads of improvement and adjustments. "Baby K" (Grey) is sleeping well in her bassinet for various durations of time (usually about 4 hours) and feeding has gone from a source of anxiety for Mom to a major delight for us both.

We are so madly in love with this little person and are in awe of the bliss we feel. God truly knows what He's doing...

Well done!
