37 Weeks!!!

Unfortunately I'm not the best at taking pictures of myself. Actually, I think these are the only pictures we have of me pregnant (except for maybe a couple back at Christmas). And yes, I know I'm tiny. My doctor actually quit measuring me couple of weeks ago because my belly was so far behind. Luckily we know Lila is a good size, so we are not worried about her.

Lila will be here on Friday, March 14th!! We are so excited and I can't wait. I'm so happy that we made it to 37 weeks (and my Doctor is even happier). There have been a lot of scary moments during this pregnancy, so to be at this point is great. What's even greater is that my doctor understands how bad I'm feeling and how sick I am and is letting us have her 2 1/2 weeks early! We'll update with her birth story and pictures as soon as we can.

Daddy's Last Day Off Before Lila Comes --Part 3

Jax absolutely loved the Mayan. He thought it was the coolest place ever, and wants to have his birthday there next month.

Sunny on the other hand did NOT like the Mayan. These pictures are completely deceiving. She cried almost the entire time and sat in my lap for most of lunch. She was scared of the noise, the divers, the lights, the trees, pretty much everything. She stopped crying long enough to make some goofy faces for the camera though. On the way out I asked if she liked it. She said "Yes, it was fun, but lets never go there again!!" Then she said that when Jax had his b-day party there she would just stay home with a babysitter.

Daddy's Last Day Off Before Lila Comes -- Part 2

After the Bean Museum we headed out to the Mayan. The kids were so excited. These are all from outside the restaurant before we ever got inside.

(Except this one, which is obviously inside )

Daddy's Last Day Off Before Lila Comes

We decided we needed to have one last fun day as a family of 4. Today is Ryan's last day off until Lila is born so wanted the kids to have a great time, even though both of them are still pretty sick. We started off the day at the Bean Museum. Sunny was very scared of getting too close to the animals, which was strange b/c last time we went she loved it. After a couple of breakdowns, and a lot of coaxing, we finally got her to pose for some pictures.

Happy Birthday Sarah!!

What is my 2nd most favorite day every year? You guessed it February 27. My first favorite is either my birthday or the beginning of football season. Just kidding, but not really. Just wanted to wish you a happy birthday, and hope you are feeling a little better on your birthday. Thanks for being a great wife and mother.

Love ya, Ryan, Jackson, Sunny, and also Lila

Just For The Record...

This is the story of my life. ARGHHHHHHHHH

1 doctors visit with 2 kids
1 trip to Walgreens for 2 different antibiotics
$70.00 dollars later

and

Hopefully my kids, who have been sick for 3 1/2 weeks, will be able to get better. Now they just better not get sick again before the baby comes.

p.s. Everybody with germs stay the heck away from me and my kids. This includes you Mom, and Ryan. Sorry!

3D pictures of Lila Cate

I finally got to go have my 3D ultrasound, and it was so much fun. The ideal time frame for 3D is between 28 and 32 weeks, and I'm a little over 34, so we weren't sure if we would get good pictures or not. Well, I think they turned out great!

This is the closest we got to a front shot, I think it is pretty clear. If you can't figure it out sorry, but Sunny Mae immediately pointed out the eyes, nose, and mouth.

This one is a profile with her hand up to her face. What a cute little nose!

Another profile. She has cubby cheeks already.

I had my Dr. appointment today and things are looking okay. At this point I am going weekly, and we will decide at each appointment if I need to deliver her then or not. If I can make it 3 more weeks to 37, then he will induce me then. So, I'm offically on the countdown to March 10th.

Lila is looking great. She is measuring a week ahead (even though my belly is measuring 3 weeks behind.) Her weight is estimated to be about 5 pounds and 8 ounces at this point. I'm really hoping for a 6 1/2 pound baby, so I think I just might get my wish. (I just want her to be small since she is my last baby, and I figure if she is small she'll seem like a little baby longer. Crazy I know).

The most exciting news of all (in my opinion) is that she has hair. Yea!!! We were able to see it all over her little head. She didn't have hair at my last ultrasound 6 weeks ago and I've been really hoping she would be born with hair like Sunny, so it looks like I get my wish on this one too!
