She is FINALLY HERE!!:)

Well Kennedy Reese Harvey is a week and one day old today!!  This past week has been the best week of our lives!!  We love her more than we could have ever imagined we would!!  She is a wonderful baby!  She has been waking us up about twice a night, which we think is awesome!  Lastnight was a little rough, she was really fussy from 10-12, but then slept til 430, feed her and changed her and she slept til 830!  If that is as bad as it gets we will be fine!lol  We will hopefully go to court late next week.  That will make everything legal.  The birth mom's parental rights were up yesterday, but to make it official we have to go to court.  Pray that all goes well and we get in pretty quick.  Today is peyton's first day back to work:(  He has been such a great help, we didnt want him to go back and he definately didnt want to go back!  I am sure every customer has had to look at his brag book this morning!lol He is a very proud daddy!  We couldnt be happier!!  We are getting some pictures made Thursday!  So ready to see how they turn out!  The funny thing is people keep saying Kennedy looks like Peyton!  It is so funny how God works!  He is an awesome God and we are so blessed!!  Here are some pics of her birth and first week.  We have taken about 300 pics!lol  Thank you everyone for all the prayers!!  We serve an awesome God!!

due date has come and gone

Well it is two days past the due date, and no baby yet!  We went to the dr yesterday, she was dilated 1 and effaced alot.  The doctor stripped away the membrane to get things started.  If she doesnt have her by monday, he will induce at 7am.  We are praying she comes today or tomorrow.  We are so ready!!  She also signed the relinquishment, waving her last 5 days, so she will have 5 business days after the birth to change her mind.  We just have to keep praying and trusting God that everything will work out!  Thanks for all the prayers!  I will try to update this when we go to the hospital, but i cant make any promises.  I will update my facebook status, so check there!

Baby Update

Well we went to the doctor yesterday, 39 1/2 weeks, and not dilated ANY!!  We are so ready for Kennedy to be born and bring her home!!  The birthmom is also ready to have her, with 100+ degree weather and swelling feet and hands.  Also she asked to be induced because she needs to have time to recover so she can start school.  But the doctor doesnt want to induce unless he has to, we go back tuesday(40 weeks) and if no baby by Sunday the 15th, then he will induce that night at 9pm.  So we just sit and wait for either a call saying she is in labor, or the 15th.lol  We are praying she comes this weekend, her due date is Monday and she will have 5 business days to change her mind, so if we start on a monday, she will be ours on friday!:)  Anyway, she will make her appearence when she gets ready, we will just be waiting for her until that day!  I will try to post more often!  I have been keeping busy, but im ready!!!!!!

the latest

Ok so today was my last day at St Vincent!!  I am sad because I will miss everyone and I will miss my job, but hopefully I will be home with a sweet baby girl in 3 weeks!!  It is almost time!!  We are ready and waiting for the call.  The birthmom is leaving for Florida tomorrow morning, and will be 37weeks monday!  We are scared to death she will have the baby while there or on the way there.  But there is nothing we can do, we just have to pray she doesnt have her until she gets back next weekend.  We appreciate all the prayers and just ask that everyone continue to pray! 

baby 4D ultrasound

She loves her hands!  We had to work very hard to get pics of her face bc her hands were in the way!  She has super chubby cheeks!!  She weighs almost 6lbs and is very long!  We had a great time and can't wait to see her in a month!!  Still praying all goes well!!

Latest news

So last week I went shopping with Haley, the birthmom.  We had a good time, we bought some cute clothes for the baby!:)  She is very sweet!  The baby was kicking and she told me to feel, she pushed at her belly and said "kick for your momma!"  Thought that was sweet, she always refers to us as the babies parents.  Then the next day I went to the doctor with her.  Got to meet the Doctor and hear the babies heartbeat!  Tomorrow Peyton and I are going with her for a 4D ultrasound!  I will post the ultrasound pictures soon.  She is due in 4 1/2 weeks!!  Crazy soon!lol  We are super excited and cant wait to be parents!  Some people kill me with their facebooks or blogs or text, complaining about no sleep, their kids driving them crazy, etc!  I will be happy to get up in the middle of the night and feed and change that sweet baby girl, as many times as she needs me to!  Some people don't realize how blessed they are to have a child in the first place!  Anyway, I will try to keep everyone updated on here.  Also i have created a blog for me and haley, so we can talk without using facebook, she wrote how honored she was to give us her baby and she knows we will raise her right.  We just hope she feels that way after the baby is born, and doesn't change her mind!  Just have to trust God!!  They are coming next week to do our homestudy and friday the 16th is my last day at St Vincent!!  I am so ready to be a stay at home mom!!  Thanks everyone for the prayers!  Please continue to pray for us, haley, the agency, and of course the baby girl!!! 

God Is Great!!!

So this afternoon we got a call from the adoption agency and they said we have been matched!!  We are super excited, but scared to death at the same time!  The girl is due August 9th and it's a girl!  We just have to trust God to make things happen.  The girl will have five days to change her mind once the baby is born, so we have to pray God gives her a peace the minute she hands the baby over to us, and she knows she is doing the right thing!  Please continue to pray for us and the girl Haley and the baby! We will keep everyone update as we find out more.  Check here because we probably won't put anything on facebook!
