Kolea (Cah-lay-a) Hitz was born Friday, August 29th at 5:09 am. She was 7 lbs. 7 oz. and 19 inches long. She has light brown hair and blue eyes. Hunter and Gabriella are very proud of their new sister. She is an absolute gem!
Labor was very short (thankfully) but incredibly intense. And funny enough, I delivered on my hands and knees. I didn't plan it that way- it just sort of happened. However, since I did it all without any pain medication it was totally the way to deliver. I was able to be in total control when it came time to push. Is this all a bit TMI?
Well, my mom was my doula and she was absolutely fantastic! I couldn't have done it without her. Ryan's mom was also in the delivery room as my personal masseuse and Camille (my sis) was our photographer-- although I'm still waiting for those pictures. =)
Kolea has consistently been sleeping 5 to 7 hours a night since we brought her home- don't hate me! I totally consider myself lucky and I am enjoying it. It's nice to wake up each morning without a sleep hangoever and be able to enjoy my baby right away. But what are the chances it will last? Who knows, but we aren't complaining. She is an angel baby and we truly feel blessed that she is now a part of our eternal family.
