Welcome Kailee Grace

Wow, I guess I should really update this.

Let's see - Matt went to tech school in Missouri at Fort Leonard Wood.  He was gone from June - October. 

He came home on October 8th at 5pm.  At 9:00pm, my water broke.  I was 36 weeks and 2 days pregnant.  I had an ultrasound on Tuesday that confirmed baby was growing wonderfully and was approximately 5lb 10oz.  We went to the hospital and waited to see if contractions would start regularly on their own (they didn't!).  At 7:00am on Saturday, October 9th, pitocin was started.  5 hours later it was time to push.

Kailee Grace was born at 11:16am.  She weighed 4lb 13oz and was 19" long.  We spent the last 24 days in the NICU but are getting released tomorrow.  She now weighs in at a whopping 5lb 9.8oz.  She was growth restricted (IUGR, same as Madi) and technically is "negative" 3 weeks old!

Matt, Madi, Kailee, Summer &  I are moving to Grand Forks, North Dakota for our first assignment.  Wish us luck!
