Hello!
Well our lives have completely changed! Lyla was born on April 11 at 12:52pm. She weighed 6lbs12oz and was the most beautiful creature we had ever seen! She has been such a joy and great baby! We have been adjusting to not getting any sleep and having our lives controlled by this little bundle of joy! We so appreciate all of the gifts and food from you all! The support we have had from our friends, family and neighbors has been amazing! THANK YOU!
I was induced at 8am and feel very lucky to have had such a short labor. It's crazy to think I was induced after 2 months of bed rest! It was all in God's plan, and we are so thankful for our healthy baby girl!!!
Mom and Dad are watching her at the moment and Dad changed his first diaper!!! Mom said she doesn't think he even changed mine!!! lol! Life is fabulous! I will update when I can!
love to you all!

38 weeks
Hello! So sorry I haven't updated you all... I have been busy trying to get Lyla to come out! haha! We have been back to normal activities and still no baby!
Every time we leave the house, we say... "if my water breaks now, we will..."
It's so funny anticipating each day! The car is packed and ready to go! Lyla has definitely grown and my belly is pretty tight these days!
We go to the doctor tomorrow afternoon! This will be our 39 week appointment! It seems crazy to be that far along! I will post any updates we have!
I was completely thinned and dilated between 1 and 2 last week, so we are hoping things are progressing!
I know everyone is anxious!!! We are too!!! We appreciate everyone's support and look forward to meeting little Lyla very soon!

36 Weeks Now!!
Hey! We made it! I am off bed rest and able to get out and about! This has been a great couple of days! We worked to finish the nursery yesterday and today. We finally have everything the way we want it... and even more excited for Lyla's arrival!
Our appointment went great! We were all relieved to make it to 36 weeks of course! We have another ultrasound on Tuesday with our next appointment. I am starting to swell in my face, hands and feet so that's no fun, but everything's normal. Good news is if she were to come tomorrow, everything would be okay! We are now in the clear! Yay!
I hope everyone's doing well and enjoying this beautiful weather!!! Excited for a gorgeous weekend! :)

35 Week Appointment
Hello!
We had our 35 week appointment and ultrasound yesterday! Everything looks great! She now weighs 4lbs 14 oz... almost to 5! Yay! Cortland guessed her weight exactly before going! Her head is still very low and pushing! She is in the perfect position for delivery.
I am allowed to be a little more active each week! We are so excited to go to dinner and a movie! I can't make any Target runs just yet but definitely able to move around the house more! I can also listen to my body when I need to rest, because it definitely tells me! I am pretty tired these days so sleeping a good bit! The time is going by pretty quickly and things are great! We are feeling more prepared and relieved each day!
I am also starting to get anxious about "the" moment! I am not sure if you can ever be completely prepared for labor and delivery! So excited to meet our little baby girl :)
Our next appointment is Tuesday, March 15! Will keep you all posted!
Thanks as always! We love you all!

We made it to 34 WEEKS!
Hello! We are just getting home from our 34 week appointment, and things are definitely looking good! Everything we have been doing is working!
We will have an ultrasound on Tuesday! If her weight is good, I will be able to go out to dinner and maybe a movie next week to celebrate 35 weeks! This is great news! To think I have been on bed rest almost 6 weeks is crazy but all worth it now! The relief feels so good! We were so excited to hear that from the doctor!
My belly is measuring on track, and her heartbeat was 146 today. She is still moving around all the time so that's a good sign! :)
The pressure along with contractions are getting worse and sleepless nights are here! I am pretty used to this by now and just glad she has cooperated to this point.
We are filled with joy and looking forward to seeing Lyla's face soon!
As always, we love you all and are so thankful for your continued thoughts and prayers!!!

33 Week Appointment
Hello! We had our 33 week appointment yesterday! It feels good to get this far after being so scared about her coming too early. Each week that passes is so exciting for an even healthier baby!
The doctor said everything seems the same. Her head is somewhat lower, so I am experiencing a good amount of pressure. We are definitely doing well and feeling very positive about keeping her in there at least 3 more weeks!
We just finished our maternity photos. The lady came to the house, so were able to get some nice causal shots around here. We should have the link in about a week, so I will make sure and include it.
We will have another ultra-sound next week or the week after to see how big she. The next appointment is Thursday, March 3. As always, thanks for your thoughts and prayers! We are so blessed!!!
