It's a BOY!!!

Well Konner is here! I was expecting him to be here so soon....but it is a good thing. I went in for a normal checkup on Tuesday afternoon and didn't go home until yesterday!! Needless to say, I went to my Dr appointment and my blood pressure was too high and they wouldn't let me go. That being on top of the fact that Konner was measuring large....led them to admit me into the hospital. Soo.....after some rushing around, packing etc.....Keith finally got Kenna dropped off and joined me at the hospital. After 9 hours of labor and 3 weeks EARLY, Konner was born at 5:13am on Jan 17th. He weighed in at 11lbs 8.9 ozs and 22 & 1/2 inches long!! Big boy!! My Doctor said that was the biggest baby he had ever delivered naturally and not by c-section in his 28 years of practice. Nice!! Just the record I was looking to break!! He is healthy besides losing a little too much weight in the first two days (I think due to his circumcision....who would want to eat after that!) and then he is slightly jaundice so they have him on the light blanket (the Wallaby3). So....we have to go back again on Monday and have his billyrueben levels checked. (sp?) Otherwise we are all doing good. Kenna is fascinated with him and wants to touch him a lot. Well...I need to go but wanted to update ya'll!

Well today I had another Dr appointment and all went well. I did test positive for Group B Strep...which is no big deal. They will just have to give me antibiotics in an IV when I go into labor. The strep occurs in 20-30% of pregnant women....so it is pretty common.

Kenna went to our friend Tanya's house while I went to the Dr. She watched Kenna and she played with her son Andrew. He is 4 months older than Kenna....but they played well together! They had fun from what I saw.....even when he got a kick out of pushing her down for a reaction!! Luckily Kenna just looked at him like "what was that for?" But it went really well....thank goodness!!

I turn 37 weeks pregnant this weekend....so I am sure the Dr will want to come up with a plan on Tuesday. We'll see!!

Just thought I would show a picture of Kenna enjoying her Christmas present from mommy and daddy. She likes it...and so do I until she tried to stand on it and rock (on a hard wood floor). I am afraid she is going to put me into labor....I can't count the number of times she has almost bit the dust big time just this week!! The picture of her and Kassie has a rug burn on it.....as she was in a Little Tykes police car and proceeded to get out the wrong side, which flipped the whole thing over and sent her skidding on the carpet. Tonight she rolled around and ripped the scab off, made it 2x worse and now looks like we has been in a boxing championship!!! Let's hope our son will be the subdued one!!!!

we are home!!!!

Well....we got home safe and sound...and I wasn't kidding when I said it would be a mircacle to get all of our stuff home! We almost were charged an extra $50 for over weight bags....but after a little switching around...we got all the bags to 50lbs. UGH!! This morning Kenna got her cast off....which was pretty quick and painless....although she didn't initially think so. The technician said she did a really good job...and she did. She is already walking on it.....but still walks like she has a cast on for now. Poor thing. She got her first real bath in 4 weeks tonight and that was nice.

After her Dr appointment today, I had my ultrasound. It went well...Konnor looked good....but he is looking big. The Dr said his body is measuring 39 weeks right now, and his head is 41 weeks! UGH!! Sooo....he looked really nervous when we was going over the numbers. He said alot of Drs would go ahead and do a C-section in two weeks.....because they don't want the baby to get stuck....but her wasn't there yet since I had given birth to a 10 & 1/2 lb baby on the first try with relatively no trouble. So.....I now have to see him twice a week until the big day, get stress tests every week....and try to keep him in 2 more weeks. At that time they said they would do an amnio (which if that is what I think it is...it doesn't sound fun) to determine if his lungs are mature enough. If they are....then it look like he will be coming out sooner rather than later. So much for that 4 Feb due date!! Looks like we are gonna have a January baby. He said if we went 5 weeks until his due date....he would be bigger than Kenna! Imagine that!

Well that is the latest on our end. No pic today....I have barely had time to write this!! I will check in later!!
