Baby is here

She is here and she is beautiful. Her name is Avery Hope Bowers. Avery was born on 12/5 at 0817 and she weighed in at 8lbs 2oz. She was 20.5 inches long and hardly makes a noise right now. Hopefully this will not change. Mom is doing well and is only a little sore. I think she looks like her mother for the most part, but has my nose. God help her that she doesn't take on any more of my traits. Sorry this took so long, but we just got out of the hospital and we have had visitors all weekend long. I am so excited to watch her grow. Maddie is already wanting to hold her constantly. Well, I have ranted for a while now, and must continue informing people. So, I leave you all with this statement. She is the most beautiful baby I have ever seen.
Love You all
Jesse, Heather, Avery Bowers and Maddie

Hey Jesse,

Only a few weeks to go! We'll be waiting for news of Avery's arrival!
Tom and I wondered if you guys had made it out to Pierre hunting this year. Tom went antelope hunting the first part of October but that's all he's done so far. I would like some pheasant but will probably have to hit up my brother-in-law again this year for that.
Don, Joanne, Kim, Larry, Carla, Ted and some friends of ours, Susie and Rob Dolezal went to Belize a few weeks ago. Had a blast and plan on going somewhere else in a couple of years! We came back just in time for winter :(
Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!

Baby coming soon

For those of you that are still looking at this blog site on occasion. Heather and I are getting a lot closer to the due date. We will be having the C-section on the 5th of Dec. Thankfully missing most of the hunting season. I am getting really excited. I still can't believe that they are saying that the baby will be a girl. Me a father of another girl. I will definitely have to be paying attention to the boys in the neighborhood. We have only been readying the room a little bit as the baby will be rooming with Maddie. The name we have picked out for her is Avery Hope.
I will talk with you later.
Jesse

DuWayne

Hey Kerry, Mike and I were just watching movie details on Dish and I think we found DuWayne!! Did you know that "The Rock"s real name is Dwayne Johnson?? Maybe that's who was knocking on your door!! You should've let him in! LOL

Baby gender

Well, yesterday Heather and I went to see the OB doctor and had our ultrasound. Everything looks to be pretty good. The baby is in the 38th percentile for size at the moment. I'm sure she will gain plenty of weight before she is born. She weighs in at 1lb 1 oz. All of the organs are there except one. In case you haven't figured it out, they told us we were having a baby girl. They are only 85% percent certain. However, they focused between the legs for a while and I didn't see that organ that males are famous for. I have to admit, I am slightly disappointed, but not much. I was hoping to even out the hormone levels. Ha. This is what I get for calling her a him for so long. Anyone can submit a name, as Heather and I are still arguing about girl names. I like Avery and she like Marley. I will talk with you later.

What a great weekend!

Thank you Mike & Vicki for another wonderful get-together!! I hope you two have gotten some rest. The food was amazing...although I'm not sure there was enough to go around (ha)! The kids all looked like they were having a wonderful time...it's very cool that they get a chance to meet and get to know each other. I can see why Kelso and Faith's kids have such fond memories of spending time at the lake!
If anyone has photos that they would like to share on this blog but aren't sure how to put them on, you can email them to me at kerrypierr@aol.com and I'll get them posted for you.
Again, thanks Mike & Vicki - you're amazing!
P.S. Vicki did you find your monkey balls?
P.S.S. If you see my buddy Duhwane, tell him hi.

Come and Gone

Well, with everything that has been going on lately, I thought that I would say that it was great to see all of you again. I only wish we would have been able to see each other for a little while longer. It always seems to be too short. I know that Maddie and Heather had a good time. Well, Maddie had a great time. I have never seen her so wiped out after a weekend. She slept for 12 hours on Sunday night. I can't wait until we will be able to get together again. Joni, I forgot to get your number so we can get together sometime. You can contact me at 310-0785 or 582-7861. Maybe we can get together and do a grill out night one of these coming weekends in Aug. Give me a call. I will talk with you all later.
