She has arrived!!!

Our little Kloee finally made it. It has been an experience that I think is best described as sacred. So many emotions for both Tessa and I which I think took us by surprise. Sorry for the short post which lacks the information that everyone has been waiting to hear but I haven't slept in the last 24 hours. Tomorrow I will talk more of our journey and more about Kloee along with some pictures. Her and Tessa are healthy and well. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers.

Off to the hospital we go!!!

Well, the time has finally arrived and right in the middle of the night. Tessa wakes me up at about 2:00 this morning asking for a towel. Half daised, I robotically got up, grabbed a towel, and by the time I handed it to her, my mind started functioning and I realized what was going on. She said it wasn't to bad and to go back to sleep and when she knew for sure that her water had broken, then we would pack up the car and head out. I think it was around 3:30 that we called the hospital and told them we were on our way. Tessa's water had definitely broke and now we wait.

Here is Tessa waiting for her IV. Doesn't she look so happy?

Here is my bed. Very firm indeed. It extends on the sides so I should have no problem fitting.

This will be our entertainment for our stay; cable and a dvd player with surround sound. Sure wish we could take it home with us.

Just a quick update!

Well, Monday we had another appointment and everything is on schedule still with the baby. She was going to strip my membranes in hopes to make sure this baby would come out on time but my cervix is too far back she couldn't. I was a little disappointed  but I know she will come when she is ready. She also gave us a little bit of a scare Monday because her heart rate was really high. Dr Elsbury sent us over to the hospital for the rest of the afternoon to have her monitored for a while. Eventually after drinking a lot of water we got her to settle down and we came home. I have been have lots of contractions just not any that are strong enough to really do much, so Darren and I decided we are going for some long walks this week to see if we can help out a little. This was really the only home remedy we found sounded safe...there are some crazy people with some crazy ideas out there. We are down to 8 days but Im to the point I just want to get it over with....this waddling has got to stop!

My First overnight vistors!

(Zakry after enjoying his sucker and was sooo excited it had turned his tongue blue)

Well my sister and her family (Rob and the three boys) came to visit for a couple of days last week and sad to say this is the only picture I got of the whole thing.  It was a lot of to have them here even though the boys ended up getting the stomach flu while they were here. We watched some movies, got caught up on dancing with the stars, took a quick trip to Lewiston, looked at and antique mall and ate some yummy food and Zany's grill. We can wait for their next visit!

Im getting HUGE!

Here's the tummy at about 37 weeks...she better come soon I am seriously running out of clothes that are bigger enough.
