I almost forgot!!  These are my favorite little slippers in the whole world, on my favorite little girl in the whole world!  They will only fit for about 2 more seconds since Lilly has my very long skinny feet :)

more baby pictures :)

Mommy and Lilly feeling better after a few days at home.. no more hospital food!!!

Lilly ready to box me for the passifier.. she loves that thing! 

Mommy pulled it out! how mean... but i love that look she gets :)

Lilly's first bath at home..  she didn't cry once!  And fell right to sleep :)

Little angel baby in her hula girl pineapple jammies...

The proud first timers with their grand daughter!!

Frilliest outfit she owns!  Aunt Jenny's sweater/hat set from below :)

Lillian is here!!

 

                             Lilly arrived by c-section after 12 hours of labor..

She is BEAUTIFUL and PERFECT!! :)

She LOVES her Daddy, who is in love with her too!

And Mommy can't get enough soft snuggles... it's the best feeling ever.  Almost not living through surgery makes the smallest moments the best.

After 7 long long days in the hospital, with many of the best most caring nurses around, we made it home with all 3 of our family members ( in pj's)  :)

And promptly had a wet diaper, peed on the changing table, all over her pretty clothes she came home in, so we put on her frilly hand made sweater and hat set from Aunt Jenny in Texas!  Thanks Jenny :)

Thank you to everyone who helped us prepare as much as we could for Lilly.  We wouldn't have known what to expect without your help!   Thank you to the 7 people who donated enough blood to save my life after i hemorraged from a cervical tear during birth.  Everyone needs to donate blood!!  I never have before, but when i am able to i will be a life long donor.   And Thank you to the nurses who stood up for me when i was unable to speak for myself, now our little family is happy at home :)

Jason is the best daddy and husband in the whole world... he loves Lilly and Me so much, and we love him like never before!!  MMUAH!!

40 weeks and counting...

Well, today is Lilly's due date but she is still comfortably squished inside my belly!  I had an ultrasound today and they couldn't even get a picture of her face, she was all squished up against the placenta like it was a snuggly blanket... She is perfect in every way (of course even if she weren't we would love her no matter what!)  But, they think she weighs roughly 7 pounds 13 ounces, gaining an ounce per day until she comes out!  If she doesn't start the voyage on her own, they induce me at the hospital either Monday or Tuesday depending on how things have changed at the next Dr. appointment!  We'll see if she gets to have her first Easter out and about in her tiny bunny slippers or not...  Regardless, she will be wearing her bunny slippers every chance she gets because they are the cutest things!  I will put a picture up of her wearing them when i can..  I'll post an update if anything changes!! :)

I think we're ready!

We are so close to meeting Lillian i can't stand waiting any more!  I try to convince her to come out every morning so i wont have to go to work, but she has some more rolls to put on before she appears i guess...  she knows she can come out whenever she wants to!  Jason thinks it's funny and probly weird too... but nesting is a really strong urge lately..  Last night when i got home from work we finally cleaned the carpets with his mom's carpet cleaner..   i have such a huge sense of relief now that it is done!  Of course most people like clean carpets, but i really feel like, ok now it's ok if she comes because the carpets are clean!  It's a weird feeling that comes with every thing i think we need for Lilly.  We got a swing for her and i HAD to immediately put it together, seeing it  sit in the box was NOT ok with me...  once it was together i just thought,..PHEW ok now she can come and we will be ready!  But today i realized i don't have a hamper for her dirty clothes....and i'm just sure that is why she hasn't come yet, because until i get one we wont be ready!   What will i think of tomorrow?!

38 weeks, 2 to go!!

Thought i'd get in one more big belly picture while i can!  Hopefully there wont be too much longer, but if there is i'll put a 40 week pic up too when it comes :)

Lillian's Room is almost done!!

Looking into her room,...yes i PLAN on using that eliptical machine,...we'll see how it goes :)

Just so she knows it's her very own!

My parent's repainted this for us, and i painted pink and purple roses on the pulls... also, those blocks are hand made by Lilly's great grandma on my side- they were made when my sister was born.

Hard to see but the 3 pictures are of a lion, giraffe, and cheetah...i repainted the frames purple to match!
