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! :)

love you guys!

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!!!
