Life at the Keever House

Hard to believe that in a few short hours, it will be 2010!

I have to admit, I'll miss 2009...Josh and I have been so blessed this year. Wyatt had his first birthday, Reagan was born, we moved to California and live in a wonderful house, we have been healthy and completely happy...I could go on and on. This year was so good that I can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us in the year to come.

We hope you all have a wonderful evening celebrating the coming of a new chapter and we hope that your 2010 is blessed beyond measure.

Today is day one at home alone with TWO children for me. I have to say...ever since Reagan was born (almost two weeks ago) I've been dreading this day. The day that my mother went home and the day that my husband went back to work. I even cried last night like a small child when my parents pulled away and headed for the airport. But the good news is that it hasn't been as bad as I expected it would be. Granted, it's been rather overwhelming--I'm having to find new ways to deal with Wyatt since I can't physically pick him up or play with him the way I'm used to (thanks c-section). And it seems that every time I become engaged with Wyatt, Reagan needs something...and every time I sit down to nurse Reagan, Wyatt decides it's time to run-a-muck through the house. Sigh.

I'm sure we'll all get used to this and get adjusted sooner or later. For now, it's nap time and I'm going to enjoy the quiet while I can...maybe Wyatt will sleep long enough that we won't have too long before Daddy gets home once he wakes up. Fingers crossed!

On Christmas Eve as we sit by our tree, enjoying having family all around...we are so grateful for the gift that God gave us all so many years ago--our Savior, Jesus Christ. We hope that you all have a blessed holiday and all that this season brings.

"For God so loved the world,
that He gave His only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish but have everlasting life."
John 3:16

Reagan was born this past Friday, December 18th at 12:33pm. She weighed in at 7 pounds 3.5 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. We are so thrilled to finally have her here with us and have enjoyed each day so far. The c-section went fantastic and Reagan is just perfect. Thank you for all of your prayers and support while we were in the hospital! We can't wait for each of you to meet her in person! Stayed tuned for updates in the next few days as we get settled in...

ROLL TIDE!!!

Well, I have officially reached the point where I feel like I might explode! This baby is getting a lot bigger than what my body was intended to hold...the braxton hicks contractions are becoming quite frequent (and sometimes painful), meanwhile I can no longer tie my own shoes or get off the couch without assistance. Let's just say that I've had about enough...aside from all of that, things are great. The pregnancy is progressing as it should and we're getting really close to having our little girl in the world with us.

I'm getting especially excited about all of the family that is getting ready to visit us. My mom will be here in less than two weeks and my dad, brother, stepdad and in-laws will follow closely behind. I have been in complete family withdrawal since we left Alabama in July. I can't wait to just hang out at home and soak up all the family time!

Now, if only that time would get here quickly...maybe then I'll be able to eat more than a spoonful of something without feeling like I might barf...oh the joys of pregnancy.
