Memorial Day Weekend!

We had a great time over Memorial day weekend.





Kevin and Gretchen came in from Prescott and Sean, Tracy and Aidan came over from Chicago all just to meet Diesel for the first time. All of the kids got together to take pictures for Mothers and Fathers day, it was really nice. And the cousins were together for the first time, I'm sure when then get a couple years older we are in for some trouble!





We barb-b-qued a couple times even though the weather wasn't that great on Saturday or Sunday. Monday made up for it and it was a perfect day in Michigan, Diesel even wore his Tigers gear to show how big a fan he is.






Diesel also went to a restaurant for the first time with Grandpa and Mimi. We all walked up to Royal Oak and enjoyed a nice lunch at Prontos, Diesel was great and it was nice to know that I can go out with him :)





The next time we all get together will be in August for a week at a cottage on the West side of the state, I'm sure there will be a ton of pictures!

Visitors!




Hi Everyone,




Diesel and I have had a lot of visitors, I just thought I would put the pictures up so everyone can see.


At the hospital Diesels Aunt Fran and cousins Olivia and Madison came to see him when he was only 1 day old!



















Grandma Carol also spent 2 days with us and we went to the zoo, I don't have any pictures of this, but I know Grandma Carol does. We went to the zoo with Anne, Ashley, Trey, Jill, Nathan and Molly - It was a rainy day so I didn't really see anything!


Grandpa Tony and Grandma Mary also came stopped by to see me on their way to Pennsylvania!

11 Days old.

It's hard to believe that Diesel wasn't even supposed to be here until tomorrow. I'm so happy that he has been in our lives for 11 days already. Things have been going great. He is sleeping really well and eating even better. I'm sure that on Monday at his 2 week appointment he'll be a lot bigger.


(see how tiny i am, i must have a king size crib)




(I'm in the jungle, see there's even a lion looking at me)











Here are some more pictures. He had his first bath in the tub yesterday, before that he still had his umbilical cord so we gave him 2 sponge baths.



(here i am after my bath, see my hair looks like dads!)












Also on Sunday and Monday Gina came over to take his first pictures, I can't wait to see them I know they'll be awesome!



Dad didn't know mom took this picture, I think he thinks I'm going to steal his sheets.

He's HERE!


Diesel Matthew Keighron
Born 05/05/2007
7:09pm
6lbs, 13oz.
20.5 inches



Well, I was right my water did break Saturday morning! Everything went really well, my contractions didn't start until about 11:00am, we stayed home until they were about 2-3 minutes apart. We headed to the hospital at around 2pm. We ended up having Diesel Matthew Keighron at 7:09pm. Everything was great, I feel that I was able to do whatever I wanted and this was so awesome. Craig was unbelievable, I was a little worried that he would be a smarta$$, but I tell you what he was awesome and I couldn't have done it without him.

We came home on Monday and everything has been outstanding. We feel so blessed to have Diesel in our lives. I stare at him all day.



He definitely looks like Craig - mostly his long toes and skinny calvles :)


He doesn't have my thumbs yet, but he may grow into them!

Thanks to everyone for the food, flowers, good wishes and blessings. Craig and I had to cancel the bbq we were going to have on Sunday, soon we'll reschedule so everyone can meet him.

We think the time is here!

It's Cinco de Mayo and my water broke this morning. It's wierd, it's hard to tell if your water breaks and just trickles...

We're going to try and just stay at home as long as possible. We'll see h ow it goes :)

38 Weeks!

The weeks are flying by! I went to the doctor again today and things are progressing. I'm a little over 1 cm dilated and my cervix has effaced to 1 cm (from 3cm...this is a good thing). The doctor was going to do something with the membranes around the cervix, which "could" bring on delivery sooner, but I would rather my body let things happen. We'll see how I feel next week :)

Craig and I are trying to make the most of our last couple weeks. We went to a Tigers game on Sunday and Monday...they won both games...goooo TIGERS! We just went to a movie tonight, we figure it will probably be years before we go to another one. Not only because we are going to have a baby, but because we really aren't movie watchers :)

Well keep an eye on the blog, I'll try to most something when I go into labor.
