So, I've changed the location of our blog, AGAIN! I KNOW!! I'm sorry for any confusion! Laine wanted to try this website and I thought I'd do it with him. He did all the work, SO CUTE, huh?? This is a trial with weebly. I really like blogspot, so we'll see if I like this weebly. I'll let you guys know if I go back to blogspot. 

WELL... Keane is almost 3 weeks old!! He's doing great! Gaining weight like a champ! He eats more than he sleeps it feels like. He is adjusting to a night time schedule and nights seem so long! It's amazing how much energy I still have even after only a few hours of sleep in 2 hour increments. As long as I get a little nap in the day, I've been fine! Plus, we've had so much help from friends since my mom left. We've had a few dinners made for us and lots of visitors, each bringing gifts (or food). It's helped us out so much!!

Can't believe how fast he's growing already too! When we brought him home, he was too small for some Preemie clothing, now we can barely squeeze him some newborn sized clothing!! I'm so proud of our little man! God has truly blessed our family! Everyday I'm amazed at God's grace to bless us so much more than we deserve! 

Now we're all getting ready for Christmas! I can't wait! My family is coming to visit on Friday for the week! My brothers are so excited to see their nephew and my dad will be the best Opa! And I know my mom misses him like crazy too! 

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!! God Bless xox

Can't believe our sweet boy is here already!! It all happened so fast! I didn't even get to update the blog from all the other things that happened!
There was Thanksgiving... We did a short pregnancy photo shoot at Santa Monica. Here's a couple that Laine really liked. 

And after a nice walk and some pictures, we headed over to Pastor Soon's for a yummy dinner with great friends! It was a really nice Thanksgiving.
The next day, my parents visited for the weekend. We were on the go the whole time they were here! We did some mall shopping, did the L.A. Flower Market, Ikea (a first for my dad!), Santa Monica, and we even got our Christmas tree!! Yeah! All of that in 2 days! We're awesome!!

Our next appointment to see the Dr. was on Wednesday afternoon and that's when the craziness started! I started with a routine ultrasound since they have been monitoring the baby and his growth. After the ultrasound tech looked at me, she called in the Dr. and they discussed the decrease in Keane's growth. And while all this busy chatter was going on, the things that stood out to me was "We need to call her Dr." and "that baby needs to get delivered!" and I was scared! They sent me straight to my Dr.'s office. She was a lot more tactful in explaining to me what was going on. That since I was 38 weeks and full term, the baby could be delivered healthy. His growth had decreased in the last 4 weeks because the placenta wasn't giving him what was needed to grow. And they said his growing outside would be better at this point than staying in. She sent us right over to admit us into the hospital and start inducing! We were surprised, scared and totally unprepared, but totally excited! After being induced Wednesday night and Thursday, I finally went into active labor on Thursday evening when they broke my water and went from 6 cm to fully dilated in an hour!! That was a miracle! By 10:30, they had me in the delivery room and not even an hour later, Keane was delivered and healthy!! He was born 12-1-11 at 11:10, 5 lbs. 7 oz. and 17 in. long! Sweet and healthy, beautiful baby boy! We are so blessed! Please enjoy the following pics Laine captured!  

After 9 months of roller coaster riding with this pregnancy, when we delivered a perfectly healthy baby 3 weeks early, all I could say was how awesome God is! We truly are blessed to have such an awesome baby!  Thank you again for all your love and support!! Love, Laine, Jessica, and Keane xox
