Kimber's Kitchen: Ground Turkey Risotto

Spencer Brady Maurer

After a long and eventful week at the hospital, we are thrilled that Spencer Brady Maurer is finally at home with us. He was born on Tuesday morning at 7:52am with no complications or difficulties. He was measured at 9lbs. 4oz. and 21 inches.


The first few days went smoothly and we actually enjoyed our time together at the hospital. Nana Susan brought Parker over each day to visit, and he is very excited about being a big brother.



Unfortunately, Spencer's jaundice levels came back high and we had to spend an extra day/night in the hospital. We were anxious to get home and it was not the highlight of the week, but Spencer was a champ and passed the test this morning to be discharged. Not 30 minutes after we got home, the doctor called and we had to turn right back around to the hospital. His blood culture had grown overnight and they had to run more tests. Luckily, the rapid blood test came back negative and we were sent back home shortly after. They believe it was just a contaminated test the first time, and we should be in the clear.



We will send and post more updates and pictures so stay tuned. Thank you for all the well wishes we have received so far--we can't wait for you all to meet Spencer!

Big Brother

Parker continues to grow up fast before our eyes. At his 18 month check up, he measured 37 inches and 30 pounds. And soon, he will be a big brother!

Gobble Gobble

We had a lovely Thanksgiving with surprisingly no major problems in the kitchen. As the pictures show, Parker is a big fan of turkey and he cleared his plate along with some pumpkin pie!

Baby in my Belly

In our efforts to explain to Parker that there is a baby growing in mommy's tummy, he now believes there is a baby in everyone's belly, including his own.

New Addition

We are thrilled to announce that Parker is due to be a big brother on May 7th. All reports from the doctor have been great so far.

Labor Day Weekend

We had a wonderful Labor Day weekend. Parker seems to be a natural at both football and driving. Although we are working hard to teach him that stunts on the 4 wheeler are dangerous at this stage of his career.




And what better way to spend part of a holiday weekend than a visit from Grandpa Jim and Nancy. We all had a blast checking out all the exciting animals at the zoo.
