When in situations of stress we wonder if there is anymore to give. We can be comforted to know that God, who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed. No one was foreordained to fail. Let us remember that we were measured before and were found equal to our tasks. When we feel overwhelmed, let us recall the assurance that God will not over-program us; he will not press upon us more than we can bear.

Candids

This was right before Lily came home for the first time. She was so cute in her first outfit... though it was still way big.
Lily with her beautiful eyes open, she's so cute!
Lily and daddy, he is a VERY proud father, it's so wonderful. I enjoy watching him with her.
She had to go to the doctor today, and so I dressed her up. We were having fun with that. Thanks Janell for the super cute head band!

So, she has jaundice, and that's not the most fun. She's had to be in a special light bed all day when I'm not feeding her or changing her diaper. It's been hard because people have been wanting to come visit her, and they can't hold her. Hopefully she'll only have to do that for a day or so longer. I had to take her to get her blood drawn so they could check out how the jaundice is doing. I had to hold her while they pricked her heal. I didn't like it! NO fun!

We're loving it and she is so sweet! We've finally figured out how she eats and how she lets us know how that she is hungry. It was a little difficult before hand but it was still good! She is a very happy baby as long as she's fed! :) I think we're some proud parents...

Don't get too excited

So yeah, I went to my doctor today, and well I'm only dilated to 3.5. I have walked so much, I was really surprised I wasn't any farther. So don't get too excited about me going into labor real soon. We'll have to see if I can go into labor with in this week. The nurse said if I had my baby this week she'll probably measure out to be in the higher 7 lbs. range. That sounds perfect to me! So let's really hope I go into labor THIS week, but I'm not keeping my fingers crossed!

Trying to pass the time...

So I guessed that I should probably take at least one more belly pic. This is me at 36 weeks.
Yesterday was SUU's Homecoming football game. Since I can get out now, we decided to go. Here is a shot of them playing. It was an intense game, but sadly, and yet quite expectantly, we lost. It was still fun to go out and cheer on SUU. We have also walked more this past weekend than we have I think since we got married, it's been a great weekend!
This is us watching the game! We were happy to be out and about!
Todd didn't like that last picture because you couldn't tell that we were at a football game, so he took this picture! I liked this picture though, because we were showing school spirit!

YAYYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!

Ok so I went to my doctor appt today. I'm dilated to a 3, and the bag is bulging! YAY! My doctor said I am free to do whatever I want now, well obviously with in reason. Sooooo I may just go into labor this weekend! lol Only because I'm going to be cleaning, walking, shopping anything that involves movement! So... my next post may just be with a picture of me and my daughter in my hands... holy cow that's awesome!

Just an update, I went to the doctor yesterday and I'm still where I was last week, which basically means that if I keep living the way I'm living I could go overdue with this baby.... So I only have 14 more days til I'm full term and on that day, I'm going WALKING!

Gibson's Birthday

So today marks one year since Gibson was delivered. I can't believe it has been a whole year! It went by really fast! I thought it would be cool if I went into labor today and then Gibson and Lily can share a birthday, but I'm not feeling it so we may have to wait. All I have to say is that I'm really happy I'm pregnant again and have the opportunity to bring our little girl into the world.

Going to Wal-mart

So I had to go to Wal-Mart yesterday and I'm not really able to walk around a lot, so instead we decided that I could use the little motorized cart. So here I am riding the cart in Wal-Mart. I felt like I was one of those big huge women that always get the carts... don't worry we were laughing the whole time, it was good!

Heads-up!

Ok so I'm sure you're probably getting sick of hearing about all my pregnancy problems, but I went to the doctor today and I am dilated to 2 1/2 cm and 50% effaced. My doctor is really worried about me and wants me to stay down and basically be on bed rest. I got to go get a steroid shot today, which wasn't the most comfortable thing ever, and I get to have another one tomorrow so if Lily does come early she can be able to breathe well. Once I'm at 34 weeks she won't be at such a high risk which is good, but he's going to try to get me to at least 36 - 37 weeks before I have her.. so wish me luck and pray for me and Lily!

Last Ultrasound!

I had my very last ultrasound today to see how Lily was doing! She is healthy and all is well! She already weighs 5 pounds which scares me. The nurse said she's gonna be a big baby! She is measuring a few days ahead of schedule so hopefully that means she'll come early :) or at least that's what I'm hoping! She has a lot of hair which makes me WAY excited and she's still a girl! I had her check one last time just to make sure we were buying the right color of items! We're super excited for her to get here and can't wait to hold her in our arms! Here are the pictures we got of her face, she was right against my uterus so her face looks a little smashed, and that's why. Don't worry she was giving us some funny faces! This picture was from 23 weeks but we really liked it because it was so cute! Todd stole it and I stole it back! HAHAH! But she was sucking her thumb during the ultrasound.... we'll have to work on that when she comes out!
This was at 33 weeks, her profile!

You can tell with her nose that her face is a little smashed up against the side of me... but she still cute!
You can see her little elbow in this one... if you can tell how to look at these things ;)
