Gracen is here!

Gracen made her debut on February 25 at 6:04 a.m. She made it all the way to 37 weeks and one day. We are proud of her for staying in that long. She weighed 6 lbs 14 oz. and was 20 1/2 inches long. She is very skinny! I forgot how little they are when they start out and her brother was even smaller. Things are going well. We have had a crazy whirlwind of a week. My grandfather passed away on the 24th at 9:30 p.m. I wasn't even in labor yet. So Gracen has been to Texas and back in her first week of life. I'm still trying to recover from the car ride 24 hours after the birth. Here's what you really came for though. Pictures!

The Countdown Begins

Gabe will shortly have life changed majorly! Our baby girl will be arriving in a short amount of time. As of right now, her name is going to be Gracen Lee Gentry. We can't decide if we are going to call her Grace, Gracen, or Gracie. I guess we'll decide that when we see her. In preparation for her arrival our guest bedroom is undergoing major changes. The lady who we bought our house from had a beauty shop in the back bedroom, so our house came with a hair washing sink. We have lived with this there for the whole time we have lived there, but I asked my father-in-law who is a licensed plumber to remove that for my Christmas present. We are currently painting the room a light brown and the trim a chocolate brown. Gabe and Gracen will be sharing a room. His stuff is blue and brown and hers is pink and brown. Gabe will soon be moved to a toddler bed. I hope this transition goes well, but I'm slightly concerned about this. Gabe's bedroom will become a playroom, so all the toys and books will be removed from the living room. I am looking forward for this day to arrive soon. Other than that, I'm trying to hold her in until I am 35 weeks pregnant which could be a major feat with a hoss of a child and working full time still. I am also getting prepared at school for my long-term sub. I leave everyday with everything ready, just in case something happens. That is a weird feeling to have.
