No Looking back!
I have decided that going back and trying to update every moment since Emory's arrival would be too time consuming! We are going to start from the present and move forward. No looking back! You will have to use your imagination to connect the dots from Sept 8 until now.
Emory is now 4.5 months old. We just had his 4 month doctor's visit on Monday. He is 25.75 inches long and weighs 12lbs, 3oz. He is a but on the small side but his doctor was not concerned. He is just SUPER LONG like Nick! We have gotten the go ahead to keep giving cereal and 1st stage foods. He loves eating from a spoon and I have no doubt that this will help him put on weight.
He is super active and loves playing. He keeps us entertained with all of his new developments. Overall, he is a happy baby and pretty easy going.
Here are some more recent pictures!
Two become Three!
Our son Emory Abram Kiernan was born on September 8, 2009 at 3:58 AM. He weighed 7lbs, 2 oz and was 20.5 inches long.
I went into to labor on Labor Day. We definitely had no idea he was coming! I had a busy weekend attending a wedding, helping with a baby shower, and generally wearing myself out. At 8 pm on Monday night, Nick and I finally sat down for dinner. My meal of choice was a chili cheese onion hot dog and orange soda ( I know). Nick was making nachos. Just as he had his chips perfectly toasted and everything in place...I looked at him and said as calm as could be "My water just broke." Needless to say he never ate those nachos. We took our time leaving the house. I felt fine and was not having any contractions. We arrived at Fair Oaks Hospital around 10:00 pm. After some concerns over the baby's hear rate, my doctor opted for a C-section. Nick accompanied me into the operating room and about 20 mins later Emory was born! The rest as the say is history!
Like most things that have happened with Nick and I, Emory's arrival took us by surprise. Of course we knew he was coming but not that early and not that night! Looking back it was the perfect experience for all of us...we just have to jump in and figure it out!
Been Way Too Long....
I have completely fallen off on this blog! I am going to make an attempt to quickly catch it up and keep it up to date from now on!
Here are some pics throughout the remainder of my pregnancy...

6 Months....ALREADY!
I am still amazed at how quickly time is passing by! I hit the 24 week mark this week. It was hard enough to believe when I approached the 20 week mark, heck now I am on the downward slop! I have been continuing to feel good, no major complaints up until this point. I did have some back pain last week but after taking it a little easier this weekend I am doing much better. This week is always a cool week for me. We start the summer with Memorial Day and celebrate NK's Birthday! This year will be a lot more low key than last year for his 3oth but I am sure we will still do something special. I will try to post more pictures of the house soon, we are making amazing progress.
BTW_ I am actually in the nursery! Freshly painted this weekend. The color is called "Green Tea", Nick is so great with color!

Finally Getting Settled
So enough going backward, I think everyone should be caught up at this point or at least enough to follow the story. We finally closed on our new house last week, April 29, 2009. That's right after almost 4 months we finally closed on the house. Last weekend was moving weekend. We had a few dedicated family members do a whole lot of work. Much thanks goes to my MIL Pat, Aunt Brenda, and my "little" John. They dilligently worked under the the iron fist of Nick to get most of our townhouse moved on Saturday. My MIL was a real trooper, she traveled from Florida to slave away working on our house. She scrubbed, cleaned, packed, unpacked, and painted. Did I mention she was only here for four days? So we are now in our new house on Conway and searching for a renter for the townhouse on Lestric. The dogs love the new place. Nick and I are tickled to be there as well. We keep looking at each other and saying..."is this for real?". We still have work to do but it is quickly becoming home for us.
