1 week old

Well Kaiya turned a week old yesterday, seems hard to believe she has been with us for a week already!! Man time flies. Things are going good, she wakes up two times at night and usually goes right back to bed, so I can get some sleep. Josh is a big help, he is getting good at changing diapers!! She is a pretty happy baby, she usually eats, sleeps and sometimes is awake to hang out with us.

Yesterday we went to a baptism class together and she did really well, we caught it in between feedings but she was up for the majority if the class and did great!

Here are some new pics of her.

Updates

Well, here we are - Tuesday, August 5th - almost 4 days after Baby Kraner's due date and still no baby...

My grandma had her surgery last friday and things couldn't have gone better. She came out of it with very little pain - she had robotic surgery with two small holes in her abdomen vs. being cut open - which I guess eliminated a lot of the pain. She is doing great - they think they got it all and she shouldn't need chemo or anything. She is to find out the results today but so far, the prognosis is great!! I couldn't be happier!!!

No, no baby...

So here we are, almost 2 days past the due date and still no baby. :( She is starting to really hurt me under my ribs now and sleeping, well last night I did very little from back pain to rib pain. So I hope she comes soon - I guess I should watch what I wish for, I said earlier in the pregnancy it would be cool if she were born on 8-8-08 (which would be the day I get induced if she isn't here by then) but now...anytime will work little girl!!

Status Quo

Went to the doctor today - still no change. However, she will be here by next weekend at the latest!! We setup a date next Friday to be induced if she isn't here yet - by then she would be a week late and if we went any longer without her here then I would have to go for a stress test two times a week til she gets here...so the doctor said instead of that weighing both risks and pros to inducing, she recommended we induce. SO - Baby Kraner, come before next friday!!

Introducting The Kraner Family Blog

My brother gave me this great idea, why not start a blog to post notes, info, pictures, etc on "Baby Kraner"! What an excellent idea I thought, so I took him up on it and here we have The Kraner Family blog!! (now I just have to remember to actually post stuff here).

"Baby Kraner" (as she is affectionately known as right now) is due in less than 3 weeks (August 1) and Josh and I couldn't be more excited to greet her! She does need to wait a little longer though as the house is still in a bit of a disarray. Her room has been painted thanks to her daddy but her mommy is still working on her curtains and we still need some finishing touches for her room, but we are waiting on good ole Babies 'R Us to send us our 'complete your registry' coupon to help save us some money. So she can wait just a little longer to join the world. Our kitchen is a bit destroyed right now too - again, daddy is busy trying to get it done this week (we have a bet, he thinks he will finish this week, I think not!). Josh has repainted all the cabinets and trim so far, next we (or I really should say JOSH) are doing the walls and putting down new floors. Once these projects are done, then she can come!! (Did you hear that "Baby Kraner"?)

So, I hope that you will enjoy this blog about our family and specifically "Baby Kraner", as I said before, I will do my best to try to keep it updated!!

Here are some pictures of her room - not done yet but getting there...
