I know...I know....it's been FOREVER since I have posted anything. Seems as though after Jilliann arrived in my world, EVERYTHING is about her! I am loving life and everything involved with being a Mommy! Jilliann Marie is a blessing! She is just perfect! I am in the middle of writing our birth story and will post soon!
Can't believe that Jilliann's due date is in 2 days! It is so crazy how fast time flies! These last few weeks have been dragging by. I guess that is what happens when you get so close to seeing your precious baby for the first time! Tyler and I can hardly stand ourselves! We went to the doctor Monday and he said I was almost 2 cm dilated and 25% effaced! He also stripped my membranes thinking that maybe it would speed up labor! Tuesday night Tyler and I were giving a gift card to go to a very nice restaurant before we become parents! We went and ate there and it was amazing! Before we went to dinner though, I lost my MP (mucus plug). I was so excited and hoping that labor would be near/ We are now at almost Friday and all I have really had is cramping. I think maybe I have had some contractions, but not to sure! My mom and dad fly in Saturday and I am hoping to be in the hospital or be holding her in our arms. The past couple of days have been really hard! I just want her to be here! Please say some prayers!
Tyler and I have had a rough year or so. Last year, we found out we were pregnant and then ended up loosing the baby July 28th. I was around 9 weeks pregnant or so. It was the hardest thing I have had to deal with. Thank God we had the best doctor ever. Dr. Watson helped us work through the miscarriage like no other doctor I know. We were told to wait at least 4 cycles (I know TMI) and then we could try again. Tyler and I followed those orders and got pregnant again after my 3rd cycle! We are now reaching week 39 and are so excited! Jilliann Marie's (our baby girl's name) due date is August 21st! I have been praying for her to come early forever now. Doesn't look so bright in my future! Our next doctor's appointment is Monday, August 16th, I am hoping we have made some kind of progress!
Tyler and I spent Christmas at our home in Port Orchard, WA. On Christmas Eve, Tyler and I were making our Christmas dinner. As we are cooking dinner and listening to music through our T.V., we got a knock on our back door. To our surprise...it was my Mom, Dad, and Brother! We couldn't believe it! They flew all the way from Atlanta and surprised us in Port Orchard on Christmas Eve!
