She wrote in the lengthy caption: '🌸Welcome to the world - Arna Leia Pearce 💛 I just stared into Tobis eyes the whole time during delivery, nervously whispering “please let her be healthy, please be okay, please be okay” and Tobi kept repeating “I love you so much - she’s going to be healthy it’s okay just breathe it’s okay”. We both were crying. ’
Her post continued: ‘I feel so BLESSED right now. I AM blessed to have Tobi and my family be there every day. I am so thankful to have the most amazing doctor and midwives ever to help me. This experience has been amazing for me and I am proud to say that💛🌸. .’
Kayla gave birth to Arna a few days ago, and the doctor suggested she give birth via a c-section.
She continued her post describing the birth.
‘As for me, I ended up having a cesarean, as recommended by the doctor. I was a little bit sore, but after a couple of days I was generally fine, just no lifting other than Arna. Now, I just need to rest, eat good food, drink lots of water and I’ll be okay! ’
