KELLY IS HERE!

Kelly Anne Grieme was born last night-Thursday, May 27, 2010 at 9:15pm. She was 21 inches long! She weighed 8 pounds & 2 ounces. She has a full head of dark, straight hair!

The time has come!

After long discussions with the doctor yesterday Doug and I (with her input) have decided to induce labor. We are going to the hospital tonight at 9:00 and will try and get some sleep before they start getting things rolling in the morning.
My doctor should get there at around 8:00 in the morning and we will play the waiting game some more! :) Doug and I are getting really good at waiting!! Regardless, Kelly Anne will arrive tomorrow! We are so excited and can't believe it! We are praying for a safe delivery and a healthy Kelly, please keep us in your prayers as well. Next time you hear from us Kelly should have made her appearance!
I am ready to pack up the car, wondering what we have forgotten to pack....Doug is playing golf by himself to calm his nerves and have some alone time before his life changes for good. I am finishing up report cards!

The waiting game....

So Doug and I are getting really good at playing the waiting game. I wake up each day wondering, "Is today the day?" Last Tuesday we went to the doctor. Baby Kelly had a strong heartbeat and is still making her way out SLOWLY! I am starting to get more and more uncomfortable and sleeping has become difficult, but I guess it will be good practice! I have not been at school, which is really helping with my feet and ankles.
Doug and I go back to the doctor in a few hours. Hope to have more information about her arrival!
Check back soon for updates! :)

It's getting closer!

I went back to the doctor on Tuesday. I am progressing very well. Looks like she will be here on or before Thursday, May 27th! So two more weeks!! Will post again after my appointment this coming Tuesday!
The nursery has already had a change! The furniture and all wall hangings were moved around last night in a different formation...still looks great, but seems bigger with the new arrangement.
Baby Kelly's bag is packed for the hospital. Doug's bag has been packed for weeks. I, on the other hand, have not even started! My doctor told me I needed to pack a bag when I left her office on Tuesday, but I still haven't! It's on my super long to-do list!
I have 2 more days of school, then I am taking off. Monday is my last day of teaching. I am going to miss my little kiddos. Apparently they are having me a baby shower/going away party tomorrow (it's a surprise, but 5 students have told me and told me that I am not allowed to tell). :)

We have a nursery!

After a busy few weeks of putting an offer on a house, counter-offering, etc. we have decided to stay in our townhouse. As soon as that decision was decided we purchased our furniture for the nursery! Also during that time we were blessed to have 4 baby showers thrown for Kelly Anne. She already has a full closet of clothes! Thanks to my Dad and brother for moving our old furniture out (and my parents for storing it) and Dad for painting the nursery! When the paint dried Doug and Dad brought in the dresser and recliner. This past Friday night Aunt Amy came to town to help Doug put together the crib (thanks sooo much Amy). On Saturday Anna Claire tried the crib out by bouncing and laying in it. Seems nice and sturdy! It is finished and looks great! The nursery is ready for Kelly Anne!!
We went to the doctor last Wednesday, our doctor was finally back from her maternity leave. The heartbeat was good, she's a little concerned about my swollen ankles and feet so told me to try and sit down during the day as much as possible (very hard to do). She also thinks I might be measuring a little early, so we will see!
We go back to see her on Tuesday morning for my 37 week appointment. Will keep you updated! Feel free to come see the nursery! :)
