Pictures

Here are some of the pictures that my mom took while we were in the hospital.



This is the first moment that I got to hold my little cuddle bug after they made sure she was okay. She was born with her cord wrapped around her neck twice so they had to make sure she was healthy and breathing properly before I could hold her.



They glued a little lavender bow to her head and though the bow was only there for an hour or so, the glue remained for about five days. I think she just looks precious in Daddy's arms.



Pete and I got a private catered meal in our room! Filet mignon, asparagus, mashed potatoes and some Martinelli's sparkling cider. Not too shabby for hospital food. Layla was a good girl and slept so mommy could enjoy her food.



This is Layla after her first sponge bath once we got home. She didn't like it much, but we are getting better at it so she is enjoying them more now. Her umbilical cord has almost completely fallen off now so it won't be long before she gets a real bath.



Layla loves her little lamb swing. She looks so cozy in her little jammies with a double swaddle to keep her warm. More pictures to come soon!

3rd Trimester!!!

I can't believe I am already in my third trimester. Time is flying by. Pete and I did the tour of the maternity wing of the hospital yesterday and it is quite nice. Private rooms for everyone with your own bathroom and shower. They are like hotel rooms. It was recently remodeled so everything is so clean and new looking. Our names were even pulled from the raffle and we won a baby cd featuring songs from composers such as Mozart and Beethoven. I will have to give it a listen, as I do like the occasional classic instrumental music.

Had my doctors visit yesterday as well, and now those visits are going to get closer and closer together. Everything was perfect. I met with Dr. Murphy again and he is my favorite. He is an older guy and he does this sort of humming thing while he works. It is so awesome and it always makes me smile and feel more at ease. He really seems like he cares too, which I like. There are a couple of the doctors I see that don't seem as invested, like they just need to move on to the next patient. So I have my fingers crossed that he will be the one that delivers me, but my luck it will be the one girl that I don't like so much. She is very callused and cold. Not something you want in a person who is going to be around for the happiest moment of your life.

Baby's heart was strong and her growth was right on target. We called her our little Baby Bear because Dr. Murphy said she was not too big and not too small, she was just right. Now that she is moving more and more and you can actually see it, I'm going to try and get some video footage. It is so cool, but it seriously seems like my belly should be in the latest sci fi movie.


Megan and Amy are throwing my shower this weekend with my girls (and Josh), which I am so looking forward to. After that I will definitely be posting pictures that will be more than just my silhouetted self with a giant belly almost popping through my tank top. Pretty soon I am going to have to find a new tank top to wear for those pictures. The current one is really being put to work.

Pete told me that I look more pregnant when I wear maternity shirts than I do when I am wearing just a regular t-shirt or sweatshirt. I'm just glad I can still wear the regular stuff even if it is mostly just to sleep in. Most importantly though, I'm so glad that I am able to wear my jeans with the hairband to hold the button. I don't know how long that will work, but I am hoping when that fails maybe those Bella Bands will work cause I so don't want to buy maternity jeans.
