What waiting game?


Katy typed the previous post on Friday. Little did she know that the waiting game should of actually been titled end game! We were checked into the hospital late Saturday night and at 4:38 Sunday morning, Norah Grace was born. She weighed 6.5 pounds and measured 18 7/8 inches long. She is the most beautiful baby I've ever seen and I'm not being too biased, I promise. Here is picture for you to be the judge. ;) Both Katy and Norah are in good health and we hope to be out of the hospital late Monday.

The Waiting Game


It's truly amazing that we've been anticipating our new arrival for 9 months and yet her birthday seems to have snuck up on us! We are both buzzing with excitment as we count down the days to due date and simply cannot wait to have this precious baby in our arms. Health-wise everything is on track. Two weeks ago we went through a procedure called an 'external cephalic version' to move her from a breech to head-down position. It was a success - she turned so quickly the doctor commented that it was one of the easiest versions she had done in 15 years of practice. Now we are all set for a natural start to the labor process - whenever she chooses to make her grand enterance of course!

But perhaps the most exciting news is that we've chosen a name for our sweet baby girl! We think it is beautiful and classic and can't wait to formally introduce her to all of her friends and family on her birthday. Everything is ready (her mom and dad are are ready as they'll ever be I guess!) and we're looking forward to those first signs. 8 days to go before due date and counting every moment! -KK

34 days to go....

November is here. I've been anticipating this winter with an enthusiasm I have never quite had before. Our little girl comes in a little over one month! We put the finishing touches on our nursery today and are nearly ready for the Chicago baby shower next weekend. Marylin will be visiting from Nashville and we are looking forward to having her visit. Everything is great health wise - aside from getting tired a little easier and (..I admit it) some mood swings - I am feeling good. Next doc appointment is Tuesday and then I'll go in every week until the due date. I'm sure the month will go by quickly with getting everything ready to hand over at work and then Thanksgiving. 34 days to go and ready to meet our baby girl! -KK
