  • Jayden Night One  05.jpg 


     


    UPDATE:  Hey everyone, this is Mark. I had to run back home to meet with a client. No babee yet. Kelly is still progressing but slowly. So Jayden will definitely show up today, but when is the big answer. I’m headed back ow to the hospital. Film at 11!!


    Sorry, Dawn. Jayden didnt want to come out this morning. He must not be a morning person.






    We came home last night around 2:00 to catch some sleep – they told us Kelly wouldn’t be delivering until at least 7 this morning. So after a few hours sleep we are headed back out the door again.


    This time is it!!     



    Okay, Kelly is on her way again… the pain was getting worse so they just called to tell us they are leaving for the hospital. We are leaving now! (as soon as I make sure I have a card in our cameras, etc.)


    Pray that this is the time and that all goes well!


    Hopefully the next post will have some pictures of our new family member!

     IMG_0252


    We’ll be back!!!


     

  • Dont know if this is it or not! But here we go….

     


    Kelly is heading into the hospital because she is in so much pain. She wants to be induced and is determined they will not send her home. I dont know if I will be back to update you on whether she is having Jayden or not, if not, I will be back to update if she is having him it could be hours before you hear anything.


    Please Pray : )


    Love Kerri


     


    Just keeping you updated:


    I spoke to Kelly tonight and nothing really happening except that she is having contractions but she has been having those for about a week now. Also Jayden has become really active today after a week or so of being pretty quiet. SO…..dont know what that means but she has to have him soon no matter what!
    Mickie…you are so funny Kelly isnt having twins…unless it was hiding really well…both times they did the ultrasound.


    You are all so sweet….I have the best friends in the world!


    Love Kerri

    Okay those are the guesses!


    You may guess again but you cannot guess another person’s guess and you have to stay at least an hour away from anyone’s guess who hasn’t guessed twice yet.


    Those are the rules so stay tuned and keep guessing if your time and date passes! 


     


    GOOD LUCK!!!

  • What should I bring to the hospital??


    UPDATE:

    Sitting here with 2 bags packed. One for what I need to have while I am there in case it could be an extended time. And of course! My camera bag!!! Jayden better wait till G’pa Mark gets back so he can get the video camera ready in case they forget theirs. Nothing new to report. She called this morning and sounds like any other day. I am hoping it will be Valentines Day since it is so close and gives Mark time to get home! HE IS GONNA WANNA BE THERE!  .

    Hey any of you have any ideas as to what I should bring and NOT forget?!! I am bringing chocolates for the nursing staff…my Bible, journal, snacks cell phone and phone numbers.

    If I am forgetting anything please tell me!!!

    Kerri

     

     Baby dropped about 3 inches today…I am sleeping with my clothes on tonight! Ohhh Mark is going to be leaving at 5:30 am to the Joe Buissink and Marcus Bell Workshop in the SF BayArea tomorrow. I do hope he doesnt come while Grandpa is gone!

    Well I better go pack a bag!

  • Tornado in Florida…be thankful every day for what you have…

    Some of you may know that my mother was out visiting here last week. She lives in Florida in a town called The Villages. You may also recognize that name from the news last week. It was one of the towns hit by the tornado.  My mother just got back home and sent me these photo’s today.


    We pray that those who lost homes and friends and family will be strengthened and comforted.


    God bless them!

    The Villages is a retirement community so all these homes belong to senior citizens. I understand one couple just moved into their new home the day before the tornado hit , their house is gone.
    How sad is that!


    Pray for them….God hears!
