Life at home

We are slowly adjusting to life at home. Today we made our first field trip out of the house, to where else.... Target. I was so worried Kevin would scream throughout the store, but he slept the entire time. Here are some photos from today:

This swadle-me blanket looks like a baby straight-jacket, but Kevin loves it!

Tomorrow is Kevin's first pediatrician's appointment.

Happy Easter

Happy Easter
Love, Kevin

Yesterday was a big day, we came home from the hospital! Thank you to everyone who came to visit! We are doing well as we all adjust to our new life together.

Ready to go home:

Kevin's first car ride:

Watching golf with Grandpop. Kevin was very excited that a kid from Iowa City won the Masters!

Kevin loves his Aunt Nicole & Uncle Joe. They spoil him already!

Happy Birthday Kevin!

It's a boy!!

Kevin Mitchell Stone was born April 4, 2007 at 9:44 am. He weighed in at a whopping 10 pounds 1 ounce and was 21 inches long! Mom and Baby are both doing great. Here are some pictures from his first couple days!

Sleeping in the recovery room...

Proud Gramndmom and Pop-pop

Kevin is sleepy after dinner!

Too cute to pass up!

Look at those cheeks!

What an adorable face!

Weekly Update

I hope this is the last weekly update that I post pre-Pebbles. Hopefully, by this time next week we will be able to introduce you all to Pebbles!

After another weekly appointment yesterday, the Doctor said I have made no real progress towards labor. But, he was quick to remind me that things can change quickly & occur at anytime. We go back to the doctor next week and I am going to have another ultrasound so the Doctor can take more measurements. It's still looks like Pebbles is going to be a BIG baby! (Isn't this ironic.... I was born so small)! We are not sure if I will be induced or maybe a c-section if I pass my due date. We will keep you posted....

p.s. - thanks to everyone who has been calling & emailing to check on me :)

2 weeks to go...

My due date is 2 weeks from today. I remember when I first learned I was pregnant, I never imagined the big day would be so close. We are ready! Today was my last day at work. The doctor thinks it would be a good idea for me to rest a bit - I can't argue with that! I am still feeling ok, but I move really slowwww.

Tomorrow is Nate's birthday & we are both looking forward to nice dinner at one of our favorite restaurants. It may be the last time we go there for quite a while.

The big event could happen any day now, we promise to post a note to everyone once their is some action!

Thank you!

Today in the mail we received this beautiful hand-made quilt! It matches the nursery perfectly. This gift was lovingly made by Great Grandma Stone & Great Aunt Lana.

I love that the diaper bag attaches directly to the stroller! Thanks again, girls.

The only thing missing is Pebbles!

Waiting on our world to change

36 weeks along.... I saw the doctor again today and I am happy to report that both of us are healthy. We are just waiting! (I think all this waiting is worse than any pregnancy symptom)! 2 weeks ago we took a tour of the hospital. Nate was happy to learn that incase of a true emergency... we can valet park! Last Saturday we took an infant CPR class. Definately good information to learn, but I hope we never use it.

The nursery is ready. Mom is ready, but Pebbles is not ready yet. (not sure if Dad is ready yet). Maybe next week...
