Say hello to baby Kai :)

Postby Rosie B » Sun Oct 16, 2016 9:57 pm

Hi guys,

As some of you know, I was due with Baby B no. 2 on October 7th. Baby Kai arrived at 1:52 on October 6th, after 18 hours of labour, weighing in at 6 lb 13 oz. I managed to avoid a c-section this time around, for which I am profoundly grateful. :)

He's now 10 days old and is doing wonderfully, and big brother Max is being everything a big brother should be.

And, I know this is worthless without pics, so here you go. :) The one of hubby and Kai and I is from 20 minutes after he was born.

What a beautiful baby! Congratulations to mom, dad, and big brother

Congratulations! He is adorable. And I have to say what a funny coincidence: he was born on my youngest daughter's birthday (she is freshly turned 19) and he weighed exactly what she weighed at birth!

Dear God, you look absolutely radiant, and you'd just given birth?!

Wishing little Kai and a long, fulfilling life.

What a darling baby! I want to give him a good old snuggle.
You're ambitious to be back in the saddle, but it looks like you only took a week off.

Gorgeous family! I can't believe you are back in the saddle so quickly. I guess having a horse like Bliss is good motivation!

Thank-you all very much for your well wishes!! Kai is growing like a weed. Just found out today he's put on 13oz in the past 7 days!!

I am not particularly strong or tough... I was blessed both times with very healthy pregnancies and this time got to have a natural birth and was lucky enough to have very minimal damage so I felt more than ready to ride. :) I am not hard at it yet though... I think I will take at least a few months (and possibly all winter) to focus on my family and only ride once a week or so while Bliss is in training. :)

Speaking of Bliss, he was so wonderful for my ride. It was windy and cold and there were lots of distractions but he didn't put a foot wrong and looked right after me, bless him!!

And Rhiannon, I have to laugh. That glow is the result of having spent the previous hour and a half doing a rather intense workout... pushing!!!

Thank-you all again very much. :)
