A child is born

After eating Mac & Cheese with Hot Dogs everyday, I am ready to be home and get things ready for this weekend. I need to workout for like 100 days to work off all the crap that we ingested this weekend! Things when well in Ohio. It was so waaaaaarm. Like 80 everyday which was really nice! My new little niece is really cute and looks alot like Chloe did when she was a baby. But with darker hair. But it's lightening up quite a bit. Kari is feeling good and it getting around. She still can't drive for 2 more weeks which stinks. But little Courtney is healthy and sleeps about 99% of the time! But we got some pictures when she decided to open her eyes. Chloe likes playing with her and enjoys giving her kisses and whatnot. But otherwise she just wanted to "play with Aunt Kenzi" which was fun. I think I have rug burn on my knees from all the playing we did. Good times. Don't get any ideas about that prego shot. I was just playing the old balloon-under-the-shirt trick for Chloe. She thought it was a hoot and that's all that matters. Click here to see her pictures.

She's heeeeeeeeere!

Grandma Karen just called and the baby is healthy and doing well! Mommy Kari is still in recovery and hasn't actually seen little Miss Courtney Elizabeth Kern. Chloe called me and said "Hey Kenzi, Courtney came out". How cute!


Here are the details from my mom...
Dark hair that's about 1/2 inch long
She's a "full" baby
pink in color
no bloody stuff, just the white gunky stuff
she's wiggling around in the nursery
Kari had her around 8:10am
She's 7lbs. 6oz. (which is bigger baby Kenzi, Chloe or Kari)
Jarrod couldn't be in delivery room for some reason (details are still sketchy)
Kari's spinal tap didn't work so they had to sedate her which is kind of a bummer. But she will be awake and happy every soon!

Mat and I leave tomorrow to meet her in person!

It's been a long time!

I haven't posted in FOREVER and I plan on posting more often. Things are going well in my life which is a good thing. We are settling into our place and I am enjoying fixing up the house, having company over to visit, planting flowers, washing windows, etc. I love coming home to our house every night. I think it screams love from Mat and I. Next up is the birth of a new niece Courtney Elizabeth Kern. I can't wait to see her and meet her. It's been a long pregnancy and we are hoping for the best. I can't wait to be an Aunt again. If being an aunt is anything like being a mother, I can't wait.
