Day 1 for our 1st Daughter... Kallee Christina

Today started at 4:30 as we got ready to go to the hospital.. We did not bring as much stuff as the time before because we are wiser and know that things just get in the way.

Alison had blood taken about 5:45 and at 6:15 the people came in to prep her. She got an IV around 7 and then had to sign paperwork. At 7:45 they team started the Spinal tap and all the preperations. I did not watch the baby being born this time as I stayed with Alison behind the vail. It was not very long after that the baby was born. It is a daughter, our first daughter.

She was 7 pounds and 6 ounces and she is 18.5 inches long. Unlike Jayden at the beginning Kallee did not mind letting everyone know she was not happy. She is a beautiful baby with some hair and a perfect round face. She rated a 9 9 on the apgar scale which is supposed to be very good.

I got to watch as the took measurements and cleaned Kallee up and got her ready for seeing Alison for the first time. Alison did get to see a little bit of Kallee in the OR. But she got to hold Kallee at around 9.

Kallee has already done some feeding and is sleeping right now...

What an awesome feeling. I have a daughter

Baby Showers and Gifts

Boo was given a baby shower by Emily this past weekend. Boo got some great gifts from many nice people. Clothes, monitors, Blankets (Some AWESOME hand made blankets, toys and Room supplies.)

Thank you's go out to Emily, Debbie Tesch, Ella Skoubo, Fred and Carlyon, Niocole, Brandt and Christine, Dick and Connie, My Parents, the staff at NW CPA Group, and so many more.

It is so nice to know how many people care for our family and care about our #1 daughter. I feel very blessed.

The Final Weeks... Countdown

We are nearing the last few weeks of the pregnancy and Alison is happy that is true. She is getting very uncomfortable and Boo is very very active.

Alison finished washing many clothes and putting away Jayden's old clothes so that his room is nearly ready for full occupancy.

We have set up the guest bedroom so that it is really a guest bedroom. That way Grandma and Grandpa Lee can stay there when I am at Tennis State.

Boo Has Her room and is coming soon




January 2008

I find myself up late at night talking and praying to my baby boo. I am not one of those who enjoys talking to the belly of his wife so I like to do my talking at night when all is quiet. I want Boo to know how much she means to me and I wish for health and happiness for the baby. I keep thinking about how it will be different having a daughter and the unknown of a little girl. Jayden was much easier as I understood boys. But a baby girl is a whole different matter.

Boo could not ask for a better older brother. He will be her protector and her friend. Jayden will be a good brother as he is a good son.

Boo is getting very active in her mothers belly. She is kicking and moving around now a lot. We have not moved Jayden out of the baby’s room yet because we need to think of a theme for his room. It should be soon though.

From a guy’s perspective; what is it with my wife insisting I talk to the baby. I hate talking to her stomach.. It is not my kind of thing. I have talked to Boo though I will do so in the future as well, because I apparently have no choice in the matter.

Boo is already getting very nice clothes to wear from Grandma Lee. Boo has two dresses and an outfit so far. Our little girl is going to look very good in her new clothes.

February 2008

We have spent the last few days watching boo bounce around in Alison’s tummy. She definitely does not like sitting in one spot. You can see that she just loves the movement and is very active. Alison has started calling her Thumper. Boo is around 2 pounds now and is developing just fine says the doctor.

On Valentines Day Alison got to drink a Very bad Orange Sugar drink to see if the blood sugar level is good. Baby's heart beat was good, and the doc measured Alison’s stomach. Alisonis supposed to start doing the
kick count (make sure that the baby is moving more than 10 times in an hour). And we preregistered for the hospital. Boo is getting closer and closer to us.

Boo is definitely growing. She is about half the size she will be when she is born. Alison and the doctors think that everything is going very well and she is being a very good mother.

March 2008

This weekend was a strong weekend for Boo and her room. We were able to pick out her theme and colors. The theme is called Lady Bug and we got it from babySuperMall .com (Free Shipping!) The colors are red, a soft pink, and green. It makes my wife happy. We got the whole thing including a wall border and the window dressings. I hope the girl likes pink.

We also got a dual stroller on sale! So now we are ready to move both of them around with no problemo. I think we are almost prepared for our daughters arrival in terms of purchses. Now we just have to get the room in order.

We have also been given some very nice sets of clothing from the Kim and Vic and Kellee and Jared and a few awesome people. It is so nice to have so many people that care about our family and it makes me think of how lucky we are. We are blessed so much by the love of others. So if you have helped our family out in any way, Thank You so much. I will keep you in my prayers that blessings will tossed your way as well.

As soon as we paint and get Boo’s Room ready I will send out pictures. Meanwhile Boo is getting even more active. Alison thinks that Boo is doing jumping Jacks in her belly. I think Boo is ready for the world and wants to see it soon. We are looking at around 5-6 weeks before the big day.

It is very exciting.

Spring Break 2008

Alison had another appointment and the Boo has dropped and is supposedly head down. We will see. Alison says that boo likes to kick her a lot so I am hoping she has good leg muscles for jumping so she can become and outside hitter. If she is like her dad she will want to hit off hand (volleyball).

Boos Room Is Finally taking shape!! Boos Room:

Boo Is a Girl!!!






















This is the Official Announcement that we are having a Girl. Jayden is excited and Connie (Grandma) is absolutely delighted. After three grandsons, she has her first granddaughter. Madeline, Jayden and Boo’s (The pre birth name) cousin, is thrilled too, she wants another girl to play with.

My mother and father are also thrilled, they are ready to bake and play and especially with my dad, do grand adventures.

Excitedly Scared is what I am feeling right now.

A Boo's Life--The Story of our #1 Daughter Gebers

Welcome to Boo’s Web Page. It is all about my Baby girl. Boo.

August 2007

After having Jayden my wife and I decided that it was time to have a second child. Actually I was ok with spoiling Jayden. But my wife wanted another one to play with Jayden… So we eventually decided to have another child and Alison became pregnant in August.

September and October 2007

These are the bad months. Alison became very ill and had to be hospitalized once and went through a very trying time. I tried to be very helpful and do a lot of things around the house and with Jayden. I cannot tell you how much both the Lee’s and my parents did. They were a blessing from heaven. We would not have made it through the first trimester with out them. I love them very much.

November 2007

Everything is now back to normal, almost. Alison got to hear the Heart Beat and was told that all was normal. That was very special. Next month we are going to get to find out if it is a boy or a girl.

December 2007

On December 18th we went to see Dr. Turner and have an Ultra Sound. Boo was very hyper and would not sit still. Boo liked to make the technician work to get the pics. But eventually we were told.

We are having a Girl..
