Beyani's finally home

We finally got to bring Beyani home from the Natal Intensive Care Unit Tuesday night. She's still on oxygen but she seems to be doing fine and she's happy and alert. We're really glad to finally all be at home - James and I slept at the hospital until she was released. Sarah headed home Tuesday but my parents are here helping out and my sister Kim comes out on Friday. We really appreciate their support; it's been a pretty stressful week. Thanks to everyone for all the nice emails! - Krista

It's a Girl!

Beyani River Coquia was born at 10:34 pm on January 1. She weighed 6 lbs 9 oz and measured 17 1/2 inches at birth. She's very cute! It was a long, hard labor and Beyani had some trouble breathing on her own, so they took her to the special care nursery. They released me this evening (Jan 3), but will keep her another day or two to monitor her first feedings and make sure she's ok. We hope to have her home sometime this weekend, and will keep everyone updated, but she seems really strong and healthy. Sarah (her auntie and godmother) was there for the birth and took lots of pictures for us!



love, Krista & James
