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!!!

32 Weeks!

Hey guys! Our 32 week appointment went great today! I am actually feeling better... less pressure and the contractions aren't as bad now that I am off my feet! We took a picture with my phone after the appointment, so I wanted to share! We are both growing! My belly is measuring right on track.

My fabulous hair stylist came over yesterday to do my hair so I really am feeling much better! :) The goal is 4 more weeks of staying in the bed... I will be able to get out and about a little at 36 weeks. It's really not that bad and of course, it will all be worth it when we are holding our healthy, happy baby girl!!!

As always, your thoughts, prayers, messages, etc. mean so much to us! We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our lives!

We love you guys!

31 Weeks now!

Hello! We had our 31 week appointment yesterday. Everything has stayed the same so that's more good news! I am getting used to being in the bed now and have really been okay! Thanks so much for all of your sweet messages :)

The bassinet is now in our room and it's just gorgeous... thanks to Mom! The crib got delivered today so things are moving along.

We have our next appointment on Tuesday, so I will update you all then! The doctor feels very confident that we can keep Lyla in there for 5 more weeks so that's our goal! They will actually let me off bedrest at that point! It always helps to have goals!

love you guys!

30 weeks today

Hello! We are 30 weeks today! Good news! Our follow up appointments this week went well. Everything's pretty much the same and my body is doing well with the medications. It was a rough few days but all seems to be adjusting now. Of course, I have to continue staying in the bed and off my feet. We appreciate all of your thoughts and prayers!

I will update you all after Tuesday's appointment! Love you all!

Update after 30 week appointment!

Our doctor's visit this morning didn't go as well as we hoped! I am okay and Lyla is still growing perfectly! She weighs a good 3lbs now! I am on complete bedrest and have to continue to relieve the pressure by keeping my feet elevated. I was hoping things were better and was also hoping to hear that I could get out and about some but that's not the case. They did give me some medicine to help with the contractions. The goal of course is to keep her in another 6-7 weeks. The doctor assured us that the baby will be great and they are taking all of the precautions to make sure she is as healthy as possible no matter when she decides to come! I got a shot today to help her lungs mature quickly and will get another one tomorrow. We will be going back for follow up appointments tomorrow, Friday and Tuesday. They want to closely monitor everything over the next few weeks to make sure it all stays the same.

We did get some precious photos of her face today! It's so sweet to see what she looks like already! We are so excited and really looking forward to being parents :)

Thanks so much for everyone's support and prayers! We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends and know Lyla will be so happy to meet each of you!
