KEELAN KAZUHIRO LEONARD

05/14/2012

6lbs. 9.2oz.

18.5 inches

born at 35 weeks + 2 days

Kaiya is in love with her little brother.  She is always asking to hold him, kiss him, hug him, where he is.  She is a great helper!

 

Keelan had a hard day the day he was born.  He spent his first two days in the nursery being watched 24/7 by a nurse.  The nurses and staff at KVMH are AMAZING.  They all took such good care of Keelan we are forever grateful.  Dr. Carolan also confirmed that they all did an amazing job.  He did not have to spend any additional days in the hospital, which is great news for a preemie.  He's a little guy...compared to his sister.  But compared to other preemies his age, he's actually kind of big.  I can't imagine him being any smaller!

He is one week old today. He spends most of the day sleeping.  He doesn't cry much (knock on wood!), and when he does cry it's such a cute scratchy little cry.  He has lots of hair as you can see, and he turns really red when he cries.  He looks just like Kaiya did when she was born...just not as chubby.  :)  I'll try to update as often as I can...being that I will be home for the next 2-3 months.
