In September of 2011 Travis and I started discussing the topic of trying to add another addition to our growing family. After trying for a year before success with Lexi, we figured it would take a while. Before we even had the opportunity to discuss it in great depth, we found out there wasn't any need to discuss much further, we were already pregnant! Kimber Marie Roger was born 2 weeks and 6 days before her due date the 17th of June, which came as no surprise, all my others we 2+ weeks early but she ended up coming sooner then she should have. She arrived at 4:27am on May 29, 2012, weighing in at 7 lbs 8 ozs, 20 1/2 inches long! Even though she was the biggest out of the three girls, her lungs weren't quite developed yet and had to spend 5 days in the NICU before she could come home! We were unable to even hold her for the first 36 hours after she was born! The longest 36 hours of my life!!! She has been happy and healthy since she left the hospital and has no further complications, for that we continue to count our many blessings!

She has been nothing but a joy in our family! We all feel so blessed and lucky to have her! I love waking up to her smiling face! She sure has packed on the pounds! She is now 7 1/2 months and loves to roll over and play with her toys! She is very attached to her blanket but her binky is her 'Best' friend! She loves her swing and her jumperoo. She keeps mommy on her toes! Fun facts about Kimber, she is named after a hand gun! Bet you can guess who named her, I will give you a hint... It wasn't me! I still love her name though. Also she was born with a funny shaped earlobe! It literally looks like someone took a chunk out of it. It's the running joke that Heavenly Father love her so much he had to keep a part of her in heaven!!! (probably not to far from the truth!) =) She is our little miracle!
