Eden Elise Kirschenmann was born on Friday May 6th at 6:40am. She was 7lbs 12oz and 23" long... yeah, 23 inches long! My water broke at 1:45am and then hard labor hit me like a freight train shortly after. It was only 5 hours long but... that was plenty. She's perfectly healthy and doing very well. We are very happy to have her out where we can kiss her and get to know her. I'm so sorry it has taken me so long to update the blog. Adjusting to life with 2 kids is a lot more hectic than it was with one. Plus, we've been having internet issues, sorry. So here's some of the first pictures of her life. I will keep putting new pictures up as she changes and grows.
Just an update, no baby yet. I will keep the blog updated when there is any news but nothing so far. We're only 9 days away from due date now though so it had better be soon! Haha! C'mon Eden, we're ready to meet you!
Just wanted to update you on the latest baby news. I've still been having fairly regular contractions but they are still not amounting to much. I had an appointment yesterday and the doc said I had her blessing to run a mile and try to get that baby out (not like I feel like running, any distance). She said I was 3 cms dilated and 60% effaced, so things are progressing. I'm still 18 days from my due date so it could still be a while, but if the baby really is as big as the ultrasound tech thought, then I'm a little nervous about letting her grow inside for another 18 days. Anyway, no big news yet. But we'll update again when things start happening.
This was last months belly picture, I'm fatter than this now (the new belly pic is below), but Jason thought I should put this one on the blog for laughs. Miriam wanted to participate in the belly pic thing. So as you can see, she's at 5 months!
