Reagan June Keever

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...

Yep...still in there...

All I'm going to say is...

ROLL TIDE!!!

Had about enough...

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.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving to all of our family and friends!

I know it's actually the night before Thanksgiving as I write this...but tomorrow I'm going to be knee-deep in turkey, stuffing and all the fixings so I wanted to put out a few good wishes tonight!

We are so thankful for each and every one of you. You have all touched our lives and blessed us in so many ways! So, here's a big thank you from the Keevers--THANK YOU!

I am personally thankful for so many things...my wonderful husband, my precious little boy and my little girl on the way (and Buck, the best dog ever). I'm thankful for an extended family that provides me with the support I need to be a good Navy wife (behind every sailor is a good woman and behind that woman is a wonderful family, they say). I am thankful for all of my friends who listen when I need them to listen and who talk when I need them to talk. And most importantly I am thankful for the sacrifice of my Lord and Savior, without which I would surely be lost.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Some belly photos for all of the followers...

I know that I mentioned in the last post how huge I am...so I thought I would share some recent belly pictures with everyone. And to answer the question that will surely follow--yes, Wyatt is licking my belly in the one picture. haha. We asked him to give his sister a kiss, and that is what he did. Boys!

Halloween and beyond

As Halloween crept up on us, we had to make the big family decision--to trick or treat or not to trick or treat. Josh and I have decided for now to not take our children trick or treating. We have concerns about the safety of it and would rather our kids be at the church harvest festival than running around the neighborhood with the gaggle of "interesting" children who came by our house this year. haha. So for now, no trick or treating for the Keever kids. Thankfully Wyatt is too young to really care and Reagan isn't even here yet.

Anyway, once we made our decision we had to decide what to do with Wyatt instead of romping around the neighborhood to collect candy that we'd never let him eat...we wound up settling on the church fall festival. We met our good friends, the Sinclairs, there and our little ones had such a blast. They had plenty of candy and treats...and Wyatt had his first go-round in a bounce house. I'm fairly certain that he was in heaven all night! Daddy even gave him his own carton of popcorn. Wyatt was dressed as a cowboy and his friend, Paige, was Nemo...they were just precious!







After Halloween, we've just been slowly preparing for the upcoming holidays and the arrival of our newest baby. Since I am massively pregnant, we'll be spending all of the holidays here at home. While we'll miss seeing all of our family at Thanksgiving, we're definitely okay with not traveling. I feel like all we've done for the last year is drive around the country! For Thanksgiving I'm going to attempt to make Thanksgiving dinner all by myself. Hopefully I can pull it off...but, if I mess anything up, I'm pretty sure that Wyatt, Josh and Buck won't care in the slightest.

Following Thanksgiving, we'll be getting Christmas decorations up and getting the house cleaned for a long visit from my mom! I can't wait until she gets here! She's going to come and help us take care of Wyatt while I'm in the hospital having the new baby. After mom gets here, Trey and Frank will show up for the week of Christmas. Once they leave, we're expecting my dad and Deborah for about a week...and then Josh's parents will be here towards the end of January. I'm so excited to have all of them here for this special time in our lives! This could be the best Christmas ever!

So, that's the plan...I'll try to keep the blog posted as we continue to prepare!
