For those of you who know Corie or follow her blog . . .

Here's the latest!

Just to let everyone know, They gave Corie an Epidural about an hour ago. about five minutes later her water broke so we are moving along. She is dialating a little over 5cm so she is progressing along. She is doing really well and feeling much more relaxed, so hopefully we will be pushing in no time. We will let everyone know when baby B comes to join us.

talk to everyone soon...

Keith and Corie

UPDATE!

This is Keith, We just wanted to give everyone that we hadnt gotten a chance to tell that the baby is officially here. Corie ended up having to have a C-section. She did so great, but she is very sore and tired of course. Baby came out to say hello at 8:49 last night. She was 8lbs 4oz. and 21 inches long. I think she got her height from Corie... She is sooo beautiful and even has a little bit of hair. She has been a real good sleeper so far. We have had success so far with breastfeeding and I just got done swaddling her so she is nice and cozy hanging out with us sleeping away. I will make sure and send pictures today along with her name if some of you dont already know it.

Love Keith and Corie

Yay!! Baby ____ B is here! I still don't know her name and am DYING to know if it's what I think it is! :c) Congrats, Cor and Keith! I'm so happy for you. Well healings to you with the c-section. I know the feelings (emotionally and mentally and physically) so well. xoxo

Update yet again!

Baby B has a name and it's a beautiful name but I don't want to be the one to share this fun news, so I will leave that one to Corie. I heard from Beth that she is doing well and that's all that matters. I so can't wait to see a picture of the baby girl who I know is a beauty!

Corie is having a baby!

I got this email from my good friend, Corie, just seconds ago! A baby is coming, and on Sami's birthday! Yesterday the post on her blog was "still pregnant"!

We are at the hospital. We were admitted around 7:15am. I was up all night with contractions, starting consistantly around 5 am. Needless to say, I'm already tired.

They just started pitocin, to get my contractions to 2 min. apart.
At 7:30 I was 4cm and 80% effaced.
My water still hasn't broken, so they may have to do that for me...

I just wanted to let you know that we are here and it looks like Baby will be joining us today! :) Yay! That makes me very excited, but I am also very scared.

We really appreciate your prayers. Now that I know what I actually have to do today, I'm really, really nervous.

Keith'll keep you posted. This will probably be the last time I am online today.

Love,
Corie

2 days past her due date. She is VERY ready. Thinking of you, Cor! I hope I get a phone call today! xoxoxoxoxoxo

Baby Adi is Here!

I really hope Brad and Chel don't mind my posting their exciting information, but I feel I kinda got permission when I know Chel's momma is reading my blog in excitement and anticipation. :c) So, here is the big news (which Missy posted in the comments, too)!

Just minutes after I posted the first time, Baby Adi made her appearance quite quickly at 4:08 p.m. weighing just 7 lbs (exactly like her big sis Ella!) and 19 inches long. She unbelievably has a head full of BROWN hair! She is soooo gorgeous!!

While there we did not get to see the new baby girl but through the window. But we got to see her get her first bath and that was pretty neat. Ella and Maia loved watching. Ella kept wanting to go see mommy so Maia and I would stay. She was quite taken by it all. Maia told me "mommy, that my baby" and I said "okay, . . . yeah . . ." and then she said "mommy, I hold baby?" and I said "maybe you can hold baby" and she replied, "she's little?" almost as though she was asking my permission to hold her because she's just her size to hold. It was too cute.

Chel is doing very well. She looks amazing. I wish I had looked that great after my two birth experiences. Hopefully tonight Chel will get a good nights sleep. She was so very exhausted. At least they don't have to worry about Ella because Aunt Val is taking good care of her tonight. And what fun it is taking care of her. It's so great having the two girls together. They're a blast.

So here are some pictures which I'm sure the majority of you will just skip right to and dismiss all my yammering. :c) That's okay, I don't blame ya! This baby girl is perfection. I cannot wait to hold her tomorrow and take some pictures of this great new family of 4.

Congrats to my dear bro and sis. You did a wonderful job :c)

Here ya go Momma Buhr! (These were all were all taken from the other side of the glass, so they aren't the greatest pictures -- sorry!)

Meet Miss Adi!

(Nana, O'ma, Grandma, everyone (!) make sure you click on the pictures because they'll enlarge so you can see the details. I wonder if she has the cowlick and the dimpled chin?)

Hi from Oklahoma with news!

This will be short but sweet. We made it to OK with no troubles, just one melt-down (Maia) 10 minutes before we landed. I kept praying that we would be on the ground soon so we could get off and RUN. I was so embarrassed. Ah well. Such is toddler-hood; such is my precious daughter.

The news is that we're at Brad and Michelle's house but Brad and Michelle are not here. They are at the hospital! There will be a baby today!! Her water has been broken and as soon as Ella gets up for her nap, we're heading to the hospital to see her mommy, daddy and sister!!!!

I'll be back later . . .

p.s. It's 75 degrees here today, but don't quite be jealous yet. It's suppose to be in the 40's tomorrow. But I'm soaking it up today while I can to last me till spring in good ol' Illinois :c)

Big Sister, E

We just got word from our bro and sis that Ella is going to be a big sister . . .

to a baby SISTER!!!!! I'm going to have another niece! (This will be my 4th niece!)

What's funny about this is that Chel and I both only have brothers, so we don't even know what it's like to have a real sister. Although i know good and well it doesn't take blood to be sisters or brothers or anything of the like! But it still will be different for me as an auntie and Chel as a mommy to TWO GIRLS! Wow, this is going to take some getting use to!! But what fun it will be. (I'm absolutely giddy about it!)

So question now is, will baby girl #2 become the first female football player in OSU history? Will she wear frilly dresses and bows in her hair, or will she wear sports attire and help her daddy out on and off the field? Only time will tell! Whatever they become, I'm so excited to be a part of it. And Daddy Brad and Mommy Chel will have the best time teaching them the Sooners songs and how to yell "We're #1"!

Congrats, guys! Now there's lots of decisions to be made! (and I can't wait till we can go shopping together, Chel!!)

P.S. and for those of you who may not know, I'm not losing my marbles. The dress Ella has on above is a Chicago Bears dress, however, Brad no longer works for the Bears, but the Oklahoma Sooners, so this next baby girl at 6 months won't be wearing a Bears dress but a Sooners one! (Sooner Boomer! -- did I do it, right, chel?! lmbo!)
