Since my website got sacked by google, I got away from doing updates.  Facebook made it really easy to ignore my site too.  So now I’ve remade it and we’re going to try and do this a little more often.  That being said, I will try to get a few posts up with some pictures of us.

Lilly was born April 6th, 2009 at 7:27am after 31 hours of labor.  Michelle’s water broke around 12:30am Sunday morning and we went to the hospital with my mom.  Dave and Angela were on there way and my dad was back in Tampa taking care of his Soldiers.   Dad booked a flight and made it in around 11ish that night.  Michelle’s labor didn’t progress for about 18 hours.  Finally she was able to get an epidural and a few hours later some petocin.  We went to sleep around 12ish Monday morning and around 6:30amish we woke up and noticed the monitor was going crazy.  Michelle couldn’t feel a thing so I asked the nurse in and she checked Michelle and said “Ready to push?”  About an hour later, Lilly was here!

It’s been almost 4 months since then and we’ve had quite an experience since then.  She’s been a fantastic baby for us and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience.  She sleeps a lot, doesn’t cry too much, and is suuuuuper cute.  She’s already taken a trip to Florida, been out to Church and restaurants, a weekend at the Jersey Shore, fun trips to the ice cream shop a Brooms Bloom, and many shopping trips.  She’s been having such a great life so far!  God has blessed us wonderfully!

Since there is roughly 6 weeks left until Lilly shows up, I thought I’d start posting a regular update about her.

Michelle went to see her Doctor today for a routine check up. Lilly is estimated at roughly 5lbs! She’s getting so big! That puts her on target to be around 7 – 7.5 lbs when she’s born. The doctor felt around on her and he said that he could tell what was her head and such, which is just soooo cool that he can know that. I just love feeling her when she moves around in there! Michelle measure at about 33 1/3 weeks instead of 34 1/2, so we’ll see how that effects her due date, though we think it’ll still be around the same time if she’s estimated at around 5lbs already.

Her due date is April 4th. We’ve got about 1/2 the room ready so far… Not quite ready for her yet though, hah. A few more key things still to get for her, so we’ll see if we can get them in time.
