I am an aunt again on 3/5/2009!!! This makes 6 nieces and nephews on both sides! Baby Isaac was born yesterday to my brother Jason and his wife Crystal, Ava's parents. He was 8lbs 12oz! May be the biggest baby by far in our family yet. Everyone else was in the lower 7's or even 6+. She had a good delivery, and everything went really quick. Baby and Mom seemed to be doing fine.
I ask that please say some prayers for them now, because late yesterday he was put in NICU to monitor his difficulty breathing and high respirations. A chest x-ray this morning found amniotic fluid in his lungs. It seems he is having some of the same difficulties that Ava had when she was born. We know he will get through this and be fine, but they all definately need our prayers and support. I don't even want to imagine. Bless Jason and Crystal in this difficult time!

WE ARE HAVING A .................
SWEET HEALTHY BABY GIRL!!! She weighs 11ounces and couldn't look more perfect. She was so active, and her little arms kept waving around. I think she was trying to say, "HI MOM, HI DAD! Can't wait to meet you!" The ultrasonagrapher, just kept using the word "beautiful" talking about her heart, and organs! Measurements looked good.
Mom gained 4lbs, I actually weigh one lb less than what I weighed with Ben at this point in pregnancy. I am halfway there. Little over 19 weeks, measuring 20!! We couldnt' be more excited!
More to come later!

Dear Baby Holee
Dear my dear sweet Baby,
So, today is the big day, Jake and I have been awaiting since seriously the first day we knew we were pregnant with you. To say I am excited is quite the understatement. After 11:30 today the planning will begin. We will get the babyroom ready and more!
I will be honest to say, I am a little more excited finding out today than the day we found out with your older brother. Not that either of you is more special than the other, but I can say that the reason for me being SO excited this time is because of your older brother. Ben has taught Jake and I how wonderful a child is. Granted he is a boy, and you may be a girl, but either way we have another baby coming that we get to share a life with and parent and love for. Children are true miracles and I can say that from experience now.
If you are boy, then bring it on! Ben will have a brother to play and cause trouble with. We already have a ton of boy clothes, and blue, blue blue accessories and toys. So that is no problem. Plus I kind of know a little of what to expect.
If you are a girl, well then there is excitement of the unknown. I have so many nieces and I can't get enough of them, so to have a daughter would be most grand also. Having lots of nieces will hopefully benefit us in the clothes and accessories part for a girl too, so I don't worry much there either.
When we painted the baby room, we made sure it was uni-sex before we even found out we were pregnant the first time, so we wouldn't have to re-do it ever!! Your Mother doesn't like to paint.
The number one thing I am so excited to see today is your little tiny body growing and developing. I hope and pray you are just as healthy as can be. You move around and kick all the time, and I get to feel you which makes it more real. Your Dad got to feel you kick for the first time just last week. To see you will be that much more wonderful and real. I thought I was carrying you high, but as I have gotten bigger, I notice you are actually quite low already making Mom go to the bathroom 25 times a day! You are very strong, and some of your kicks almost surprise me. It's your little way of saying Hi to me!!
Can't wait to see and meet you!!
LOVE,
MOM

Rollar Skating MANIA!
I think one thing I love about having children is you are always going to have "firsts" and sometimes they are literally the most exciting, fun times of having a child.
This past weekend we headed to KC to go to a rollar skating birthday party for Elle, Ben's cousin. As we were carpooling our way up with Grandma and Papa K, I was questioning how well Ben would actually do with this whole rollarskating thing, and well the fact that I am almost five months pregnant helping him "try" to rollar skate maybe difficult. Needless to say it was an absolute blast. I still have great balance on the skates, thanks to the old grade school days, when rollar skating was the cool thing to do, and Ben took to it like a champ!! I couldn't get his skates on quick enough. Off we went to the rink! His foot was to small for the boot skates, but the strap on skates to his boots worked great! The first few times around the rink, he held my hand and just grinned from ear to ear watching all the other children and adults pass him by. He would get real excited and let go of my hand (which worried me at first, but I let him go) and he would just go off. I could tell when he would try so hard to pick up his speed, and then he would end up on his booty, By the end of the session he was mastering catching himself when he knew he was losing balance. It was pretty impressive.
They played great music while we went round and round and Ben would throw in a few dance moves here and there. He thought he was sooooo big!
My favorite part had to be the playing limbo. Ben and I did AWESOME. We would go right up to the limbo bar together. Mama would squat, and Ben caught on quickly as he squatted beside me. The first time, I don't realy think he needed to lower himself at all, but he did anyways. So, after making it through three rounds of limbo, we came up to the stick, and I noticed, Hmmmmmmm, Mama isn't going to pull this one off, but I knew Ben would. So, I went up with him and let him go. I tried to walk around only to turn and see Ben try to grab the limbo bar and move it out of his way to go through. It was hilarious!
We had such a good time! Papa was already talking about taking him Ice skating next week. Hmmmm, not so sure about that one.
And I have to put a video on here, it was hard to take, because as you can see, I had to keep moving while filming also! And if he did fall, I tried to be quick to help him up, because the last thing I wanted was someone running him over! Notice the hand shaking with the beat towards the end.
Keeps on going!
