Keira Is Here!

I have another niece!

Keira Nichole was born to Jason & Julia on Tuesday, April 27 at 12:16pm. God blessed by giving her a wonderful gentle birth, and she was immediately held in the loving arms of her mama. She is so beautiful and healthy, and Jason & Julia said she spent the first moments of life looking around at them and her new surroundings. Keira weighed 8 lbs, 10 oz, and was 22 inches long! She's off to a good start with sleeping and nursing and periodic times of quiet alertness. Big brother Kaden is still getting used to the idea of "Deara" being a part of his life, but I am certain it is just a matter of time before he is her best friend and protector! ;)

I had to wait until Thursday morning to meet Keira. Jordan had to work in Cedar Rapids on Thursday, so he dropped Serena, Macy, and I off at Jason & Julia's house on his way to CR. About half an hour later, Jason & Julia, Kaden & Keira, and Grammie Terry arrived from the hospital!

Keira is enjoying all the space she has now! She loves to lay all stretched out! It must have been getting pretty cramped in Mommy's tummy for those long arms and legs!

True to character, Serena was ecstatic to meet another cousin! It was all I could do to keep her from grabbing Keira and playing with her like one of her dolls! There are some very fun days ahead for these two little girlies! Serena is lucky to have girl cousins on both sides of the family that are so close to her own age!

Serena was fascinated with watching Kaden play. Kaden was okay with it as long as Serena didn't get too close! She liked to crawl over to him and touch him!

After Jordan got done working, we went out to eat at Jason & Julia's favorite Mexican restaurant. Mmmm!!!

What a special day! God has definitely blessed our family once again!
