Well I thought the next time I updated this, Miss Lilly Grace would be here! She was due this past Thursday March 22nd, and there are no signs of her coming in the next few days. I went to the doctor Friday, where they did the biophysical ultrasound. They saw that she is still moving around, gowing, fluid levels were great. She is in the 80th percentile for her weight estimated at 8 pounds 9 oz.!!!!
They wanted to induce me tonight Sunday, but there were no rooms at the hospital. My thinking is there must only be a certain amount of rooms that they induce in b/c of all the monitoring they have to do. So we have an apt. for Wednesday @ 6:00pm to begin the induction process, but will not actually give me the pitocin until Thursday morning. So hopefully by next Friday we will have a baby!! Unless by chance she decides to come on her own before Wednesday.
I have still been working and I guess I will go in Monday and Tuesday. I figured on Wednesday I will take off to make sure the house is all ready and to have time to myself before we begin to induce. It is going to be a long next couple of days so please pray for our family that she arrives safe and healthy!!
Will post a pic as soon as she arrives!!

3 more weeks!!
Wow, I cannot believe I have not updated this blog in a month. We have been so busy trying to get everything together and I have been trying to wrap everything up at work, but I continue to say I just need her to stay in 1 more week :) One day she is going to come and I am going to have to turn off work. I have been so busy with trying to get everything done and work and write my first 2 chapters of my dissertation I have recently just realized that I only have a short time left.
The doctors had originally said the due date had been moved up b/c I was measuring bigger, but this week they said it is still the 22nd. She had dropped and I can finally breath and not have as bad of heart burn. Currently they say she is weighing 6 pounds 10 ounces. I do believe everything is ready for her to arrive. We have plenty of newborn diapers since we will use cloth after the newborn stage I have began buying those too. I have my 3 bags packed for the hospital. Why do I need 3?? One if for Lilly, one has my stuff in it now, and one is a last minute throw everything in here like the camera, I-Pad, chargers, snacks, etc...
I have been lucky enough to have 4 showers. My friends did one (excuse for them to have a party:), the pre-k teachers I supervise surprised me with one, My wonderful lead teacher Jennifer did one just for all the special ed. teachers, and then my office did one for our dept. It was amazing, I am so lucky to have such wonderful friends and co-workers. So like I said I think we have everything we need, we are just on wait time now!!
Of course I have began to feel pregnant. It is easier for me to go to work than to stay at home. when I am at home I want to clean, do laundry, etc. just b/c I can't sit still. Then my back begins to kill me. Of course my feel are swollen like a sumo wrestler and my shoes barely fit, but I am trying to make it. I think since it has been warmer that next week I may just have to do flip flops. Plan on taking Mattie for a mani/pedi on Sunday after our maternity pics and soccer practice. Some people say that it can make you go in labor, so we shall see :)
If she is anything like her mother she will be stubborn as the day is long and not come till after the the 22nd. We will keep everyone posted on Baby Lilly's arrival!!
