39 Weeks!

At my doctor's appointment today I was hoping that she would tell me I was dilated and ready to go.  No such luck.  Lily is pretty happy where she is.  We are scheduled to induce either May 31, June 1 or 2.  I am hoping she decides to come earlier.  On top of being nine months pregnant and uncomfortable I also have a sinus infection.  Thank goodness a Z-Pac is safe to take during pregnancy!

Lily's Nursey

I am so excited that Lily's nursery is finally done!  I wish I could take all the credit, but I had an amazing interior designer come in to help me finish out everything.  I had the furniture, just wasn't sure where to go with it.  She listened when I told her what I wanted and I never imagined it would turn out like this.  I am so thankful for all of her help.  Now, all I need is my sweet girl to be here and it will fill complete.  I can't wait to meet you Lily!!  I love you so much already!

38wks Appointment

Doctor's appointment went well.  Lily and I are both doing fine.  However, there has been no progress.  No dilation or anything so I go back next Thursday and if nothing has happened by then we will schedule an induction around 41wks.  We might have a Memorial Day Baby!!

I was hoping for something b/c I have been feeling awful.  Braxton Hicks contractions started and they are no fun.  If this is a preview of labor, I might be having my epidural sooner than later :-)

Where has all the time gone

I really wanted to keep up with this blog during the pregnancy, but wishful thinking!  So, since I am so close to my due date I thought I would try again.  I can't believe it is 13 days away!  I am so excited to meet our daughter and to have her here with us.  It is scary and exciting all at the same time.  I just ask God everyday for her health and to help me be the best mom I can be.

We have named her Lillian Alise and calling her Lily.  I have a doctor's appointment today.  Hoping for some good news!

I'm dreaming...of a white Christmas....

Michael and I exchanged Christmas presents last night and he is the best!  I got my Michael Kors purse I have been wanting and lots of fun stuff.  The Baby even thought I needed something and got me some presents that includes mommy massage foot creme.  Can't wait for those foot massages to start.  It was such a perfect night.  We made hot chocolate, watched the snow fall and what Christmas wouldn't be complete without watching Christmas Vacation!  I love these special nights with Michael and it makes it even more special considering he is hardly ever home.  I can't wait to add another person into the mix next year!

Speaking of another person..... I am 17 weeks and feel great.  Starting to have some stretching and I swear I think I feel the baby move, but who knows.  Something is going in there.  :-)  I officially look pregnant now which I am so excited about.  I took this picture last week.

I had an appointment last week and everything was fine.  Heartbeat was 145.  I begged the doctor for an Ultrasound, but no such luck.  We will find out the sex on December 30!!

11 WKS!

I had my first appointment with my OB/GYN last Wednesday.  Everything went great.  We did an ultrasound and lots and lots of bloodwork.  When the nurse brought out all those tubes I told her you better let me lie down. I think I will pass out.  Michael was in town and I was so glad he was able to go with me. They gave us a lot of information and I can't wait to get started on everything!  During the ultrasound he was moving around a lot.  At one point he turned around and faced us and we could actually see his facial features!!  It was the coolest thing.  We got a great profile shot.  Here is our little lime at 11wks 1day!

Our Journey Has Begun!!

Great News!!  My pregnancy test was positive and we are pregnant!!!  I am officially 10wks 2days today.  I have been released from my fertility doctor which was bitter sweet.  He has been amazing throughout this process and helped make our dreams come true.  I learned a lot through this journey.  One thing is that I like to have control more than I thought and it is hard for me to let go of that control.   God really showed me over the past 2 years that he is in control.  Once I gave myself to him, bam! I was pregnant!  How God works in mysterious ways :-)

I have been feeling pretty good.  Just really, really tired and nauseous.  That is starting to go away a little bit and now the crying spells, heartburn and indigestion have set in.  I haven't officially announced to everyone yet.  Just family and a few friends.  Only two more weeks and I can announce it!  I'm about to bust.
