Naming Day! and more photos

Today is the day we name Kaia. And here are some more photos of Kaia's first few days.

Me and my girls! (Transitions with a new baby are hard! The expression on Akilah's face pretty much sums up their first few days together.)

Nana to the rescue! Here they are needle felting a mermaid.

Holy massive amounts of sweetness!

Akilah holding Kaia for the first time.

Akilah is now in love with her baby sister.

These are the photos Tony and I took after we named her Kaia June today! Well worth the wait. I am not a fan of naming someone before I meet them. Names are a big deal and we were not in any hurry. (Although it was definitely a process that was NOT helped by unsupportive friends and family. For future reference nagging about a name is annoying, stressful, and not helpful. At. All. Basically what I am saying is just shut the hell up and we will tell you when we are ready.)

A supportive friend sent me this:

What's in a name? that which we call a rose
by any other name would smell as sweet;
and such sweetness you bathe in!
Happy Birthday Mama!

I just love her!

Yum!!! (Akilah and Julie brought me the daffodils. So lovely!)
