Introducing Nora!

Nora Mae Geib arrived at 7:46am on September 21, 2015.

She weighed in at six pounds and twelve ounces, 19.5 inches long.

Mom and baby are doing well!

Daddy and Big Brother Elliot are absolutely in love!  

Hospital Wishes and Instagram Alert!

Hello, hello!

We are so grateful for all the love and support we have received thus far as we anticipate Nora's arrival.   As of this time, I will be induced on the 21st of this month.    

It is our heartfelt request that we have NO VISITORS on the 21st.    We aren't trying to "keep her" from anyone, we need this time as a family to bond.   The hospital is aware of this request, so no visitors will be accepted on the 21st.    

Keep in mind, for nearly FOUR years, Elliot has been the center of our world.   This is a big, big, BIG transition for him.    Elliot meeting his little sister and having as much one on one time with her is incredibly important.    Plus, labor is hard yo.    I'm most likely going to be in pain, uncomfortable, looking like a hot mess (but a happy hot mess) ... who knows!  

Visitors ARE welcome after the 21st starting at noon and ending at 8pm.    The hospital has become very strict (and I like it!) about the number of people in the room.   I am allowed no more than 4 visitors at a time, considering my mom will be with me as labor coach and home nurse, that number is actually 3.  

If you would like to "follow me" on Instagram, my username is mamageib.

Thank you for your love, prayers, and understanding as we anxiously await Nora's arrival.

Love,
Leigh Anne

Awesome. Just Awesome.

Last night, while taking photos, Mark said the one photo reminded him very much so of my first time meeting Elliot.   Mark made this for comparison.  

39+ week "Photo Shoot"

Sometimes Mark takes thee best pictures.   We did these tonight, and wow... I'm so in love.    God, thank you for my miracle babies.   Thank you for keeping them safe both inside and outside of the womb.   I may not be loaded with money or things, but my blessings in love and grace are out of this world!

Way to go, Elliot!

Elliot is such a lover of learning, and he has been having a heck of a time with writing his name "in order."   Well, here it is folks!   Look at that face!!!

Finally - her face!

Before we know it, Nora will be here!

Elliot is a remarkable big brother already and I can't wait to see the two of them together.   Nora recently decided to finally show us her face on ultrasound!   It's about time baby girl!  

Things are going great.   Nora is healthy, I am healthy, and we're ready for delivery!    Bags are packed, Nora is in position.... and now.... we just wait.  

I can't wait to meet her.   I recently watched this video of meeting Elliot for the first time and it made me bawl like a baby.   :-)
