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!!
