Nursery Progress

We've been doing really good. Lily moves around all the time. Her kicks are alot stronger now. The other night I felt her hiccuping for the first time. It lasted for 3-4 minutes. It was a neat to feel. I've been feeling good, just alot more tired the last couple of weeks. Only 2 months to go!

Here a few pics of a couple of recent things we have done to the nursery. We hung up the letters above the crib and the shelf above the changing table.

30 Week Belly Pics...Just 10 To Go!!!

Doctor's Appointment

We had another Doctor's appt today and everything went great. They checked all the regular stuff and it all looked good. My BP was 102/62, and I have gained 2 lbs since my last visit and my stomach measured 29 cm. The doctor said I was right on track. Lily's heartrate was 155. My next appt will be July 1.

The Nursery So Far......

We've been doing alot work in the nursery the last few weeks. We really like the way it is coming along, and I love spending time in there. We haven't hung anything on the walls yet ....we hope to start that soon....I'll post more pics as we add to it!

Doctor's Appointment

This morning we had a Dr.'s appt. Everything went great! I had to do the glucose test. The drink that I had to drink for it wasn't near as bad as I thought it might be. It tasted like an orange drink. My blood pressure was good 100/60. I gained 2 lbs since my last appt for a total weight gain of 16 lbs so far. Lily's heartrate was 148. Now I will start seeing the Dr. every 2 weeks, so my next appt will be June 17th.

We also made an appt to visit the pediatrician that we are thinking about using. It won't be long now! Oh, and we found out Lily's dresser should be here next Tuesday, so next week I will start posting some pics of how the nursery is coming along.

Baby Showers!

This past weekend Jim and I went to Waycross for 2 showers. One that my family was having for us and one that Jim's family had for us. We just wanted to Thank everyone that helped with the preparations of getting the showers together and for everyone that came and sent gifts for Lily. We really appreciate everything that was done and we had a great time! Thank you so much! Here are a few pictures from the weekend.

OB Tour

Today we took a tour of St. Francis Women's Hospital. We really liked the facility. The hospital itself is much smaller than Greenville Memorial (which we toured a few weeks ago), but the Labor and Delivery area seems much nicer. They have 35 LDRP (Labor Delivery Recovery Postpartum) suites. I think it is so nice that you stay in the same room the entire time you are there. The rooms seemed spacious compared to many that we have seen at different hospitals. They are all about keeping Mom and Baby together as much as possible, which we like. We are glad that we took the tour and now know with confidence that this is where we want to deliver.

25 Week Pregnancy Pics

25 weeks and growing! She is definitely getting bigger. I can feel and see her moving around all the time, which is very exciting. It's hard to believe that we only have just a little over 3 months left to go. The last few weeks we have stayed busy...we have registered at some places, Lily's crib came in (we have it all set up) but we are still waiting on her dresser/changing table, it is on backorder. I'm hoping it will be here by the end of the month. Once we get some more stuff in the nursery I will post some pics of it. A couple of weeks ago we toured one of the hospitals here, and next week we will tour our top choice, so we are looking forward to that.

24 Week Doctor's Appt

We had a Dr.'s appt this morning and everything went great. The Dr. said that I measured good, my BP was 108/60. I've gained 5 1/2 pounds since my last visit. She said that that was good since I started out smaller. Lily was moving all around while the Dr. was trying to get her heartrate, but Lily finally settled down enough for her to get it. It was 158.

I feel Lily kick all the time and Jim usually gets to feel her at least several times a week! Less than 4 months to go!!! My next appt is June 3rd.

Baby Zayne Is Here!!!!

Zayne decided to come out and meet us a little bit early, much to April's relief!!! :) It even worked out to where I could be in there for the delivery. Everything went great and April had a speedy delivery, and a great recovery. Zayne was born on Saturday April 26th, at 9:42pm. He weighed in at 7lbs 5 ounces, and was 20 1/2 inches long. He is so adorable and sweet and has the cutest black hair! He was a sweetheart the entire time I was down there, and I hated to have to leave, and I can't wait until I can see him again in a few weeks!

Long Weekend in Charleston

We spent the weekend in Charleston, SC accompanied by Ken. We had a nice time and did lots of walking....I was quite tired. I can definitely tell I can't hold out to do as much now.

p.s. Thanks for the Mother Goose book Ken!

On a separate note Jim was able to feel Lily kick for the first time today!!!

20 Week 4 day Belly Pics!!! (Getting Bigger)

Lily's First Dress!

Jim and I took a little shopping trip to Charlotte this Saturday. We wanted to research the baby furniture that we will be ordering from Pottery Barn Kids. While we were there Jim saw the cutest little dress, so we had to get it for Lily!

Introducing Lillian Grace aka Lily!!!!!!!!

We had our 20 week appt today and it went Great! The technician said that we are definitely having a little Girl! We were so excited! This is what we felt we were having all along but it was nice to have some confirmation. The ultrasound was pretty amazing she pointed out to us the 4 chambers of the heart and the different sections of the brain, the stomach, kidneys, arms, legs, spinal cord and lots more. The baby was moving all around! She said that everything measured good and looked GREAT! She weighs about 12 ounces and she had a 153 heartrate. My blood pressure was good and I had gained 2 1/2 pounds since our last visit for a total weight gain so far of 8 1/2 pounds. We are just thankful that the baby appears to be healthy. Our next appt is May 6th.

Oven Bun's First Beach Trip!

We spent a very relaxing weekend at Myrtle Beach. The hotel was great and our views of the ocean was wonderful. It was just so relaxing to sit in the room and listen to waves crashing and read. We did not turn on the computer the entire time we were gone. We never just lay around and do nothing, so it was nice for a change to do just that and have room service! It was wonderful and we cannot wait to go back.
