"They slice, they dice, they come in three different sizes. Just watch as we cut right through this can of dog food! Call now, and we'll include this lovely carrying case for easy household storage. All this can be yours for just three easy payments of $19.99..." Wait, wait, no sorry that is the wrong announcement. Let me change the channel. "The canidae party stands by it's presidential candidate, and we deny all allegations that Spike is actually a cat dressed in sheepdog clothing. This is an obvious attempt by the felinus candidate to discredit his opponent, and we are shocked and saddened by this blatant attempt..." Darn political ads. Definitely not it! Lets give this one more shot, shall we? Ladies and gentleman. Dear friends both human and canine. It is with the greatest of pleasure, the deepest of joy, and a considerable amount of relief that I introduce to you today the newest member of my family, Miss Lily Ann Jurgensen. Yes after two and a half years, and four pregnancies, we have finally been blessed with a beautiful, healthy baby girl. She was born September 28th at 9:22 pm, weighed 6lbs 2oz, and was 18.5 inches long. Now at over a month old, she has the entire houseold wrapped around her little pinky finger, and we couldn't be happier about it! I was going to wait until the pictures have been approved, but I think Jo and Darcy are getting ready to fly over to MN and pummel me for making them wait to find out what's going on... I'll insert the pictures of our little angel as soon as they're up! |

congrats |
Way to go Kar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Im sooo excited for you!!!!!! cant wait to see pics!!!!!!!! and youre the WORST tease i know! |
Congratulations Karen. I am so very happy for all of you. |
You better of made a post b/c I was telling myself I'd find those pics before you got a chance to include them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I WAS GOING NUTS WONDERING THE DETAILS!!!
Way to go mommy and daddy, and I'm so happy for you. The troubles to get there have broken many of our hearts, and I just know you guys what something well deserved I wish we could have been there for you during your pregnancy, as I'm sure that was hard on you!!!! Have any gray hairs now? I can't believe I have to wait longer now for pics. How you doing? BTW, lil j was 6.2 too! I told him younger girls are the way to go, so... he's more than interested in showing her the ropes. hubba, hubba |
They're approved now.
I'm glad to see you back. I was just thinking about you the other day! |
OMG, Karen - CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so thrilled to hear from you and with such glorious news!!
I was actually thinking about you this past week-end when I issued this year's holiday card list, because I had to remove you. Was wondering how you were and what the latest on the baby front was. Yippee!!!!! Welcome back!!!! |
Another baby that looks just like daddy! Seriously.
And I just love the pic in the Lily giraffe outfit. She's a doll. Big hugs to you!!! |
The pictures are soo cute..And so is she!!! Just Beautiful!!! And Pippin looks like he has taken the role of her protector already!!!
CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL!!!!!!!! |
Thanks Everyone! We couldn't be more thrilled that she finally made it to us! Here are some pics of my precious baby girl:
Here we are in the hospital Pip loves his baby (he really does. He takes every opportunity he can get to lick her up and down. Ahh sheepie kisses) Her royal cuteness close up and personal Lily in her halloween outfit |
omg is that a cry coming on in the last picture? how adorable. |
maybe she doesnt like her costume????? lol
actually, it looks like a spit-up waiting to happen..... K...she is just beautiful! |
Jo- I don't have any gray hairs (and if I did, I wouldn't own up to them) but she definitely gave daddy a few more! She does look quite a bit like Mike, but she has my hands, my mouth, and my skin. (And hopefully my prevalence for being good and staying out of trouble... do I dare hope?) I underestimated how overwhelming it is to look at your child and see pieces of youself in miniature. I hold her hands and it's someone took a shrinking machine to mine, freaky and wonderful all at the same time.
We definitely have had quite the time getting her here! I was on bed rest from early July until she was born. I was hospitalized 4 times, once with kidney stones, which was horrendous, and once for three weeks when I went into premature labor on... you guessed it, Labor day. I finally went into labor 1 hour after my baby shower (I was still at my moms when my water broke!), and had her 4 hours later. The labor went so fast they didn't have time to get my pain meds on board, so I went au naturale, which I do NOT recommend, unless you're a pain junky. We had to have a vacuum assisted delivery, because she was having cardiac issues while I was pushing, and I was on my last attempt before an emergency c-section when we delivered her (THANK GOODNESS!!!!) Even though she was 4 weeks early, she is perfectly healthy, and other then being a bit small for her age, is doing beautifully. It has definietly been a trial but I can't help but feel so lucky and blessed to have her here! |
Congratulations on your WONDERFUL announcement!
WAY TO GO! |
Oh Karen, huge congrats to you and the whole family!!! What a blessing!!!!!!!! |
Congrats Karen and family!!!
It was a long time coming, but so worth the wait! Your baby Lily looks precious. I too had the case of the baby coming too fast, no time for pain meds.....LOL, gotta love it! At least you feel so much more normal afterwards. |
I'm so happy for you and Mike . Lily is a beautiful name for a beautiful girl |
Congratulations Karen! She's beautiful |

Aww Lily is beautiful! How blessed she is to have parents who love her so much |
Oh Karen!! I am all choked up reading your post!! I am just so happy for you & Mike!! To say I was excited at seeing your post this morning would be a huge understatement.
Lilly is beautiful!! What a blessing after all your trials. What does Pippin think of her?? We're so glad you're back!! You've been missed and thought of often!! |
6 lbs 2 oz and 4 weeks early? Deary, you wouldn't have wanted to wait another 4 weeks. Lily was ready, your uterus was ready.
Congratulations! She is a beauty. Pips has a girlfriend. |

Ha ha ha--that's what I was thinking! Congrats Karen! I was thinking of you recently too and wondering how you were doing and if there was a little one involved. Yay, we can add you to the oes.org baby list! There's a lot of us lately! She is SO beautiful... |
CONGRATS!!! Nothing compares to a new life and its unconditional love! She's adorable!!! God bless. |
Congratulations on your sweet Lily. Pippin sure looks proud! Glad to see you back with such great news! |
Congratulations! |
Thanks so much everyone. She is definitely my little love bug. I wish you could all see her in person, she runs away with your heart!
I consider myself quite fortunate that she did as well as she did being born early. We had an angel sitting on my shoulder watching us during my pregnancy, that is for sure. That and a really amazing OB. I can't say enough good things about my Dr. It makes such a difference to have a doctor that you can trust, and who works with you to keep you and baby as healthy as possible under difficult circumstances. (If you go from the L+D rule that you don't officially start active labor until you're 4 cm dialated, then I was in labor for 2 months!) |
Congrats! |
So good to see you back! Congrats on Lily (love that name), give Pippin a hug for us |
Congratulations!!! It's so good to hear an update about your family. You're baby Lily is adorable! |
