She's HERE!
Kalyani Marie Alletto
(Kalyani means "blessed/fortunate.")
7:55 am

6 lbs. 6 oz. 19 1/2 in.
Kali made a surprise appearance 2 1/2 weeks early early Saturday morning.
I woke up around 5 for what I thought was going to be a routine middle-of-the-night bathroom break when my water broke.
This came as a complete surprise since Asha took her sweet little time deciding to make her first appearance and even then she had been encouraged a little.
So I expected Kali would do the same.
At my 37 week appointment on Wednesday I was only at a 4
but I had been feeling that she would come a little early.
I just never expected so early and so fast.
Saturday was the day we planned to get the car seat ready and pack the bags, etc, etc.
Contractions started at 6:30 at about 10 min apart.
We quickly found back-up babysitters for Asha after 3 of our planned families were out of town.
Dropped her off by 7.
Contractions were about 5 min apart at this point.
At the hospital by 7:05.
Skipped check-in and went straight to labor and delivery.
At this point I was still hoping to have an epidural.
But...
Dilated to 9cm at about 7:20ish.
Too late for an epidural and they barely got the IV started before I was beginning to push.
In fact, the doctor barely got there.
By 7:55 our sweet little girl was in my arms.
It was a pretty amazing and wonderful experience.
Still in shock and often have to remind myself that she is already here.
We are in love.
Leaving for the hospital.
Proud Daddy.
He was so calm and encouraging the entire time.
Love love love him.
And Love him even more for not complaining once when I dug my fingernails into his hand.
BIG SISTER!
When Swami woke her up that day, he told her that sister was going to come and that we needed to get dressed. She was so excited. She said, "Oh no sister comin. Let's go!"
Sister's 1st bath.
Asha is such a good big sister.
Swami calls her the baby hog.
I think he got to hold Kali maybe 2 times in the hospital.
Nana.
Going Home.
She is 100% ours.
They are 100% ours.
We couldn't be more in love.
