Lillyanna Kate is here!

Just a quick post since i'm getting ready to head to bed and Ryan is changing Lilly's diaper, Lillyanna Kate made a very quick arrival on Tuesday at 2:22pm! She weighed in at 6lbs 10oz and is 19.5 inches long. We got home today and are just settling in with our 2 kiddos! Landyn is doing great so far, hasn't really noticed her at all but we'll see if that lasts! here are a few pictures! (they are in the wrong order but you get the idea!)

36 weeks!!!

How far along? 36 weeks!

Total weight gain/loss: 4 pound gain- same as the last couple weeks!

Maternity clothes? Yes. never really stopped wearing them

Stretch marks? my belly looks like a road map

Best moment this week: just laying in bed rubbing my belly and talking to Lillyanna. she is going to be here very soon and i will miss being pregnant soo much!

Movement: she's still pretty active, starting to slow a bit but that's because there isn't much room for her in there anymore!

Food cravings: this bean salsa my friend Rachel made for my shower, she sent it home and i've been eating it constantly!

Gender: baby girl!

Labor Signs: cervix is 2-2.5cm dialated, 60% effaced now we are just waiting for the contractions to have a pattern and get stronger!

Belly Button in or out? still in!

What I miss: being able to sleep which isn't going to happen for a long time!

What I am looking forward to: meeting this baby girl! we are finally starting to get everything ready for her here!

Weekly Wisdom: ummm...i've got nothing. sorry!

Milestones: Lillyanna weighs just under 6lbs and is about 18.5 inches long!

35 weeks!

How far along? 35 weeks 1 day

Total weight gain/loss: 4 pound gain- same as last week

Maternity clothes? Yes. never really stopped wearing them

Stretch marks? my belly looks like a road map

Best moment this week: watching my belly move! i'm going to miss feeling her movements soo much!

Movement: she's pretty active now, doesn't like it when i sit up strait or use my belly as an arm rest :)

Food cravings: oranges!

Gender: baby girl!

Labor Signs: cervix is 1.5cm dialated and 50% effaced. more and more contractions everyday so i'm pretty much laying low so i don't go into labor before 37 weeks!

Belly Button in or out? still in!

What I miss: being able to sleep on my stomach!

What I am looking forward to: baby shower on Sunday! can't wait to celebrate with the people that mean most to us!

Weekly Wisdom: ummm...i've got nothing. sorry!

Milestones: Lillyanna weighs around 5 1/4 pounds and over 18 inches long already! she's just adding fat to her little body now!

My OB told me yesterday at my appointment that he would like it for me to be pregnant for 2 more weeks and if labor starts before next week they will still stop it. (which totally suprised me but i'm okay with that!)

34 weeks!

How far along? 34 weeks, Lillyanna weighs around 4 3/4 pounds and is 18 inches long already!

Total weight gain/loss: 4 pound gain

Maternity clothes? Yes. never really stopped wearing them

Stretch marks? my belly looks like a road map

Best moment this week: getting to hear her heartbeat again!

Movement: she's pretty active at night but not so much during the day.

Food cravings: oranges!

Gender: baby girl!

Labor Signs: cervix is completely thinned out and soft but i'm not dialated yet. she's lower than she used to be!

Belly Button in or out? still in and i don't think it will actually pop!

What I miss: being able to sleep on my stomach!

What I am looking forward to: Maternity pics this Sunday and baby shower the week after! (thanks Rachel!)

Weekly Wisdom: ask if you OB is running on time when you check in! (i sat there for over an hour yesterday waiting!)

Milestones: Lillyanna is just adding fat to her body at this time, if she was born now she might need a little help breathing but would be quite healthy! (but we are making her stay put for at least 3 more weeks!)
