Any Day Now!

It is so hard to believe that Laila could be here any day now! Tomorrow is her due date!!! I've felt all along that she would be late, so we'll see what happens! For now we are just waiting and praying she will arrive happy and healthy. I've been feeling pretty good...just normal 9th month of pregnancy symptoms I guess. Last week at the doctor I was 2 cm and 50% effaced so I was happy for some progress. We go back tomorrow to see the doctor so maybe we'll find out if I progressed any more. I'm not sure that he can tell us too much though. For now it is just a waiting game....she'll be here when she's ready and on the day that the Lord has set aside as her birth day! I'm not sure if I will be writing again before she gets here, so please pray for a safe delivery for me and our baby. Hopefully many of you will be getting calls soon! We'll be writing and posting pictures of her as soon as we can!

The pictures below were taken of me today at full term! My how my belly has grown!







Laila's Nursery

Here is a little video clip and some pictures of Laila's nursery, as well as the bassinet in our bedroom that my aunt let me borrow which will be her first bed! We honestly could not have made her room so cute without the help of family! Thank heaven for grandparents!!! :) There will be finishing touches made and some more things hung on the wall after her arrival, but for now her room is set and ready for her to see! All that is missing now is Laila and we can't wait for her to be here!

Congratulations Phil and Jill!

Nate's cousin and his wife, Phillip and Jill, welcomed their beautiful baby boy into the world on May 2nd! Carson Stephen Schuck was born 7 lbs 7 oz and 22 inches! The holidays will be so much fun this year with two new babies! I guess this will make Carson and Laila 2nd cousins. The cool thing is that Phil and Nate were born days apart and Carson and Laila will be born only weeks apart!
