On 7/26 Lily still weight 6.6, so the dr. told me to up my fat. Yummy whole milk is now a staple and I can eat all the ice cream that I want! Back to the dr. on 7/28 and Lily is now up to 6.10. The dr. is very happy with her gain and she is doing great. She lost her umbilical cord on Tuesday 7/27. We are looking forward to giving her her first official bath this weekend. Today is my 34th birthday. I had a great day. Very low key. Took Lily for a walk to Starbucks and treated myself to a $4 yummy coffee drink. Ryan surprised me with beautiful roses... just a perfect day. Sorry all these pics are kinda a mess. I wanted to make sure they got up. Enjoy and hope that my future posts are more frequent.


On Saturday, we took Lily for a walk at the lake. Pap Pap Rick was with us, and our friend Darius meet us. It was a beautiful day. Lily is very happy in the baby ergo. She also enjoys her stroller. Every time we have been out for walks, she is very happy.












On July 22nd, we took her to her first drs appointment. She now weights 6lbs, 6oz.







July 20th, going home!! Today Lily weights 6lbs, 7oz.





Our attempt of taking some newborn shots. Good thing that we had some professional pictures taken.


Silly daddy!!

Proud Parents!!






Here she is, born at 7:09am, 6lbs 12oz, 20 in. long, July 18th, 2010. I had a wonderful delivery. They started my cervidel at about 7ish pm, dilated to a 1, and by 10ish I was about a 2 or 3. My contractions were lasting more than a minute, with no breaks between them. They removed the cervidel and gave me some pain meds. I slept until about midnight, and at that point, I was already a 3-4. The dr. told me to call Ryan, that things were moving very fast. They gave me my epidural and both Ryan and I were able to get a few more hours of sleep. 6am, I was a 10!! I pushed for about 25mins, and at 7:09am, Lily Dianne made her grand appearance. I feel very blessed that I had such an easy delivery. I thank the drugs for that!! (During the middle of the night, I heard two women screaming bloody murder in the halls, giving birth w/o drugs. I think they are crazy!!) My dr. actually missed the delivery, usually induction take a little longer than mine did. But it all worked out. Now we have a beautiful perfect baby girl!!

Here I am, all drugged up and ready for Lily!! This was sometime in the middle of the night.

The night before, July 17th, wearing my favorite baby baby shirt for the last time!! Can't wear this w/o Lily in my tummy!

this site will not be up long, but wanted to post. i promise that i will put up pics soon!

Lily Dianne was born July 18, 2010, at 7:09am, weight 6lbs 12oz, 20 in long. She has dark hair and is just perfect. I had a very easy delivery and we are all doing great. More to come, promise!

Here we are at 39 wks. We are going to the hospital tonight to be induced. We are hoping that she will be making her grand entrance early Sunday morning. Keeping our fingers crossed. I am up a total of 23pds and still feeling pretty good. I wonder how long until I will be able to fit back into my "normal" clothes. But I have to admit, maternity clothes are very comfy! So our next post will be Lily's arrival. Wonder how much she has gained since last week, 6.10. Any guesses? And what time she will arrive? I am thinking Sunday 4:23pm, weighing 7.8. Ryan thinks 1:34pm and weighing 7.2. I hope we are closer to Ryan's guess :) Bye bye belly, hello baby!!

Lily is now 6lbs 10oz, at 38wks. Wonder how much she will weigh on her birthday day??
One more week to go. Scheduled to induce on July 18th! The whole concept that she will be in my arms and not in my belly has not set in!! Bring on the diapers!
