37 Weeks...and counting!

Here's a pic of me at 37 weeks! It's apparent that all fashion has gone out the window. Now it's about comfort :)

Also, some updated nursery pictures.

Already Dilated!

So we went to the doctor yesterday and also got a sonogram. The baby is in head down position and I'm already dilated to 1 cm. This doesn't mean the baby's gonna come tomorrow but it does mean it may be sooner than January 4th and that things are already progressing naturally on their own!

The sonographer estimated the baby to be around 6 lbs and here's the bad news: apparently Lila has her daddy's hair already....which means not much! The sonographer said she has "peach fuzz" so no luck on the head of black hair like I had when I was born :(

I'm finally EXCITED rather than anxious, scared, and nervous. It's so close now!

Maternity Pictures

We had maternity pictures taken November 15th at Prairie Creek Park in Richardson by Lindsey Murphy (from Van Alstyne). Check out her website: www.lindseymurphyphotography.com. Click on the pictures below to see a larger version.

Major Room Progress

We're almost completely done with the nursery and with buying things....thanks to the help of amazing family who provided some manual labor for the project and to the generosity of those who have gifted us and our Little Lila!

Some Room Progress

Bigger Belly - 28 weeks

Here's a new, bigger, improved version of the baby belly for all to see! This was taken last week at 28 weeks. Now we have 11 more to go and there's no turning back. Lucas and I took a childbirth class which wasn't so much about birthing as it was taking care of the baby. We learned about bathing, breastfeeding, CPR, etc. Lucas thinks he's a pro at breastfeeding now...MEN! HA HA.

I'm starting to have a little trouble moving around since I'm getting so big. I don't go for long before getting worn out but overall I have minimal complaints. If only the nursery would put itself together!

I can't wait to meet Baby Lila!

Registries

For anyone who might want to know...we're registered at Target and at Babies 'R Us. It's under Lucas or Elizabeth Tesh.

Here's a pic of our bedding from Target along with the wall decoration we'll be putting up. Will upload pics once the nursery is actually decorated and pray that'll be before Miss Lila arrives :)
