Tah Dah!!!!!!

I entered the world at 1:32 pm on November 2nd. I weigh 7 pounds and 14 ounces and are 20 1/2 inches long. I can't wait to meet my Mommy and Daddy.

I see the light!!!!!!!!!

Well I am almost here! There is
alot of commotion out there.
Is that for me???? I can here Mommy and Daddy talking to each other. It is time for me to have a birthday party.

Steven Speilberg Presents!!

Daddy might have missed his calling!

My Name

I heard mommy spelling my name to some lady in the hospital. I kicked her a couple of times and I think she got the point. Mommy and Daddy change the spelling to Keira so people won't miss pronounce my name.

My Birthday!!!

I think I am finally ready to come out and see the world. I was kicking early this moring and something happened. All this yucky fluid I have been living in for 9 months started to leave. I heard Daddy jump out of bed and scurry around the house. He must be really excited to see me.

They drove me down to Rochester and I am in the hospital waiting for my big entrance.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Thank you everyone for comments on blog, phone calls, and emails with words of encouragement! We are doing great!
We are quickly learning to accept there must be a reason for the wait.....and it's teaching us PATIENCE! I'm sure we will need this over the next 18 years...and then some! :-)
While hanging out at home, waiting for our little miracle to arrive, (for the first time EVER,) I actually heard Mike say last night that he is BORED. So funny, because we usually cherish our time to just watch TV and enjoy relaxing.....now we are just so excited to meet Kiera that the quietness and calmness is driving us crazy.
Honestly, the waiting has been really good as hard as it has been! We've had a lot of time this week to just spend quietly together...talking, looking at my belly move, reflecting on our marriage, on the miracle growing inside of me, and how we vow to be the best parents we can to our baby girl.
God definitely has planned this out right as hard as it is to wait!
We promise to share pictures and stories as soon as she arrives!

40 weeks...3 days...WHAT??? I thought they said it was only "9 months"

Well, it's Kerri here...finally gave Kiera the boot because she's apparently pretty happy where she's at and thought I should put my 2 cents in. :)

Had to do a little shopping and go out to lunch yesterday after hearing the news that after 4 days of contractions/cramps/back pain/and headaches....I am dilated to 0....that's right........ZERO!!!! I was under the impression she stripped my membranes last week....but she did not. She said she just "stretched things" a bit. No stripping of membranes today either because my labor has not started at all and it "wouldn't do anything." Apparently you have to be a little dilated atleast a little in order to strip them.....and I'm tight as a drum. Mike is getting frustrated too now...(not because I'm uncomfortable, agitated, anxious, annoying and completely swollen....but because he is "running out of pink" to wear everyday! HAHAHA... I'm serious...he actually said that....but seriously, he is mostly frustrated because he just wants to meet and hold his baby girl....and says we've waited long enough!!!! I bet he's also tired of waking every time I flop over in bed, hearing me snore, and rubbing my feet-trying to trigger the so called "pressure points" that I now believe are a complete crock.
So, I will be admitted Sunday night for a cervical "ripening" potion and balloon catheter in my cervix, then have an intoxicating inducing dose of pitocin infused into my veins Monday morning if nothing happens sooner. Hopefully it does, and I will definitely keep you posted! I finally gave up working....I've had cramps keeeping me up the last 2 nights and I am hitting a wall.

Hope to send out good news sooner, otherwise on Nov 3rd, I plan to lose a few pounds, be feeling like a million bucks....swaddling a little TINY(yeah, right) baby girl :-)

Please pray for Kiera to make a smooth entrance into this crazy world!
