It's my birthday!

This is a great day. Kristie and I headed into the hospital at 5:15am this morning. Around 7:15 we headed into the O.R. for Kristie’s 4th C-section. It went really well and at 7:34am Briar Brooks King was born.

She weighed in at 7 lbs 10 oz and measured 19 in long. She’s a cute little thing. We’re not sure who she looks like yet, although first thoughts are more on my side of the looks with blond hair. Mom and Baby are doing fine and we’re set to go home on Saturday. We hope to see some of you soon.

We just had a really good ultrasound this week and the kids got to see the baby moving around. They were pretty excited. Being a new Daddy again is pretty cool.

caleb LOVES to do count downs to our big family events.  thanks to him we have been counting down “new baby’s” arrival for a few weeks now.  each morning the number on our kitchen black board changes and becomes 1 day closer to meeting our new bundle of joy.  today’s count down is at 4 days away, which really means in a matter of hours it will be 3 days away.  i can’t believe it is so close.   

i am elated with meeting this little person that God has so carefully knitted together in my womb.  i LOVE that God knows this little girl/boy so intimately and that HE has thought about every last detail of this special creation.  come friday morning the surprise will be revealed and a name will be given… it is all too exciting.  i think every pregnancy amazes me more than the last because the entire process of having a baby is an absolute miracle.  it is an indescribable joy that takes place when the baby that you have felt kicking, squirming, hiccuping, and growing in your womb is all of the sudden in your arms.  the love you feel is already unconditional and then you look at your sweet baby’s face and you fall deeper in love.  

i have been a busy bee waiting for this baby to arrive.  being a “type A”, list maker type of person – i feel pretty happy about my accomplishments thus far.   there are other things that i would really like to do but i am afraid i will have to let go of them.   my body is physically unable to do what i want it to do.  the baby has dropped into my pelvis, which makes standing and walking uncomfortable most of the time and i have frequent contractions, especially when doing a lot of physical things, and i know i am at least a 2+ dilated.  being pregnant is something i truly love being until this point sets into gear.  i am physically ready to be all done being pregnant.  however, the planning, “type A” person inside of me does not want to let go of my plan; the plan of baby being born on friday and all of the arrangements that are surrounding that particular day.  of course you don’t have to tell me that God is in control and my plan is exactly that, “my plan.”  God will arrange when HE wants this baby to arrive and we will work everything according to Him.  but if i had my way… friday is the day.  just pray for my patience as i start getting cranky the more miserable my body becomes.  pray too that i will be able to rest, i desperately need it.  andy will be sharing the news and putting up pictures of our 3rd little blessing so stop by and take a look.

preggy momma (for a little longer…)

So here’s what I want to know… What do you think it is, boy or girl? Let me hear some predictions.

Caleb loves talking to the ‘new baby’ as we’ve been calling this one. I’m not sure what Emmry is going to do yet. She’s been sick lately and really cranky. We’ll see.
Anyway, that’s the quick version of what’s going on with is lately. There will be pictures up here when the new baby arrives, so check back around February 1st!

Kristie and I will probably go on a lunch date afterwards. I’m looking forward to knowing. There’s been some anxiety about going to 3 I think. It will be good to know what we are going to be facing.

anyway, we’ll have to wait a couple weeks to try again.  the sonographer could not get a clear picture of the face either because the baby had it’s hand up in the way.   we’ll get rescanned next time we’re in.

so, no news for now.  we’ll keep you up to date.
