Lily is a week old today

Sorry it has been a while since I updated the blog, but Lily is here and such a great baby. I just love her so much!
She was born on April 22, 2009, by C-section. She was too big for me to deliver naturally and my pelvic bones never moved out enough for her head to pass through them anyway. I cried when I heard her cry for the first time, truly the most amazing feeling in my life. My mom and dad stayed in the operating room with me and held Lily right by my head the whole time.
We got to come home on Saturday and I am just taking things one thing at a time so I do not get overwhelmed. We had our first doc appt yesterday and the doc said she was perfect.

2.5 weeks to go

Went to the doc on Thursday and had my last sonogram, and Lily is already 6lbs and 10 ozs. She is in position, so now we are just playing the waiting game. They started my physical exams too and those are not so much fun. I am not dialated yet and Lily has not dropped. If Lily is not here by 04/22, then my doc will be inducing me on 04/23. I cannot wait to meet her!

Went to doc and had just one of the quick visits. I am measuring at 34 weeks and Lily's heartbeat is still in the 140s. My doc is suppose to be out of town on my due date so we have decided to induce labor if Lily has not decided to come on her own by 04/23. I cannot believe I only have 5 weeks left.
Next appt I will have a sonogram just to make sure Lily is in the right position and she how much she weighs at that point. My doc can tell she will be a big baby already, YIKES. The doc will also start the fun physical exams.
Stay tuned...

March 6, 2009

I had a doctor's appt on Friday, and everything is moving along great. She is already 4.5lbs, and he thinks by the time it is her time she may be 8lbs or more, YIKES. My doc is scheduled to be out of town on the day that I am due, so we talked about inducing me on 04/24, and I think I am going to go that route, because I would rather him deliver Lily rather than one of his associates. Reality really set in when we were discussing the option, I am going to be a mom in 6 weeks from this Friday! I am so excited to meet her!

3D Sonogram

I went on Friday and had a 3D sonogram done, it was the coolest thing and we think that Lily has my lips and nose. We had tried the Monday before, but my little stinker kept moving her head back, she did not want to be seen I guess. I have posted a picture of what we were able to get and I just cannot wait to meet her.

February 19, 2009

Went in for my doc appt and had a sonogram done today. Lily is already 3lbs and 11oz. I could not believe it. The doc is thinking we are going to have a big baby to deliver come time for me to deliver. I got to see her hair forming, and was just amazed. She is already in position, she just needs to turn her body a little bit so her face is facing my back. Her feet are up in my chest, but I could have told you that just from these past 3 weeks of discomfort, but only 9.5 weeks left so I think I can hang in there.
The doc thinks she will be coming between April 23 and 28, but if she is not here by April 30th, he wants to induce. He said he is not a big fan of letting his patients go past their due date. I start my prepared childbirth classes next Wed night and I am a little nervous. It is getting down to the wire.
The crib and dresser came in yesterday and we are having them delivered this weekend.

I have uploaded a few of the portraits my friend Jeff took of me this past Sunday.

Coast is Clear

I went into the drs office yesterday to get my Rh negative shot and they told me that my glucose test turned out normal, so the coast is clear. I was scared that it would come back positive and I would have to change my diet, which we all know how picky I am so that would have been a challenge. I did find out that my bloodwork showed I was a little anemic so I have to start taking iron pills.

My friend Jeff is going to be taking my pregnancy portraits this Sunday so as soon as I have pictures back from that I will post them. I finally posted a few pictures from a couple of weeks ago. She is definitely a mover and I feel like her foot is stuck in my chest all the time. She stretched last night and that felt so funky and kind of hurt. I have a feeling we are going to have a fiesty little girl on our hands.

I also will be getting a 3D sonogram done on Monday and cannot wait to see if we can tell who she is going to look like.

Another doctor's appt

Yesterday, went to the doctor for a check up. I measured right at 24.5 weeks, which is right on schedule. Her heartbeat is still really strong. My blood pressure came down, so my doctor was happy, and he is also happy with my weight gain.
Next appointment, I will do the glucose test. They also will do the Rh negative shot. I promise I will get a picture of my belly on the post soon, just have had too much going on to download my pictures.
