Coriana Elise Briesemeister has arrived!

Born on Christmas Day, Coriana Elise arrived at 10:14am weighing 8lbs 6oz and 20.5 inches in length.  We had a loving and peaceful home water birth, and our little Cori arrived with no known complications.  Her parents were thrilled to finally meet her, and so was her proud big brother Everett.

38 weeks and a baby shower!

We got to celebrate with a baby shower thrown by Auntie Elisa at the Tea Company in Country Village - it was marvelous!

At 38.5 weeks I am ready for this baby to make her appearance!  

37 weeks and counting down....

We had a wonderful 36 weeks pregnant at Thanksgiving this year, with a loving baby shower in Yakima, thrown by Auntie Faith, Auntie Steph and Grandma Lena!

And we had a nice family photo session for baby Bee with Nate Robinson Photography (Yay Uncle Nate!) that I will upload more photos from later!  Here's a sneak peak at the growing belly!

We are so close to having her here and I'm thrilled that we've also gotten closer to the right name.  At her 37 week prenatal appointment today she was healthy and all seems well on the road to arriving earth side! 

Here are some of the amazing maternity pics that Uncle Nate took at 36 weeks! 

32 weeks!

Here we are at 32 weeks along!

Also, Happy Halloween!

 Baby Bee is a pumpkin just like Ev was when he was in mommy's tummy!

28 weeks bump picture

Here we are at 28 weeks, entering the third trimester and all is well!  We are in the sweet spot of pregnancy (for us) where we aren't too nauseous or uncomfortable yet.  Baby bee is kicking up a storm and roughly the size of a large eggplant.

Day dreaming...

I found this at a kid's consignment store for $7, and couldn't help but pick it up for our little girl on the way.  Making plans. :)

24 Weeks Belly Bump

Here we are at 24 weeks - she's been kicking up a storm!  We just finished our move to our first owned home in Shoreline, and are exhausted but happy to be here!  This pic is taken in our new front yard.
