Welcome to the World

A blurry picture of one-day-old Kelly.

Kelly's Mom

One day old (can you believe they brought her home?!) -- still, do you see the family resemblance?

Kelly and her Granddad

Kelly's granddad holding her in the hospital right after she was born. Kelly's middle name comes from her granddad's first name, which is also a family name that goes back many, many generations.

She's Here!!!

Kelly Reed arrived this morning, Wednesday, January 24, 2007, at 5:45 AM. She weighed 7 pounds, 4 ounces and was 18-1/4 inches long. There was a light snow falling.

(Kelly's Mom went through the entire procedure without any pain medication -- despite getting Pitocin to start and continue contractions. This made for the totally natural birth of a "bright-eyed, bushy-tailed" Kelly!)

Kelly (~4 hours old) and her mom reunited after her visit to the nursery. Both were exhausted after a long night!

Mommy and Daddy, little like me

Kelly's gene pool.

Kelly's First Pictures (July 2006)

These are the first pictures we ever got of Kelly, before we even knew whether she was a girl or a boy!

The Waiting Game

This blog was begun on Monday, January 15, 2007. We are eagerly awaiting Kelly's arrival. She is due on Friday, January 26, 2007. We will post further news when the happy event occurs.
