Week 39 update

Well we went in for our ultrasound and Ellie is estimated at 8lbs, 12 oz.  Doctor said that he thinks that she might come this weekend but if not then we will be induced next Tuesday.  Thank means by 7/6 (Wednesday) at the latest we will be holding our baby girl.  I am so excited, nervous, as well as a hundred other emotions!  Feeling so blessed.  I have not had an immediate blood connection since my mom passed away 9 years ago.  Having no biological parents or siblings...the meeting of this little girl is even more special.  Please keep prayers going for her and me.  That we have a safe delivery and a healthy baby and mama.

Week 38 photo

Well I haven't shared a photo in awhile.  As you can see, Ellie has dropped a bit and hopefully is getting ready to let us see her little face.  She is getting strong and gave some very big movements last night :)  Feeling very blessed, anxious, excited, emotional, etc....

38 week check up

Patrick and I went for our 38 week check up.  My blood pressure was 100/62.  I am 80% effaced, doc says that she will probably be in there at least one more week.  We have another ultrasound scheduled for next Tuesday.  Doctor says that he will only let me go 7 days past my due date :)  Please keep the prayers coming that she is doing all she needs to do and is healthy.  Getting more and more excited to meet this little girl of ours!!!

The Nursery

So the nursery is almost done!  Patrick and I worked on it a lot this morning and I think it is turning out beautiful!  It is not too babyish but more classic and elegant.  Here is a sneak peak of what we are doing.  We will have a few more decorations to come in for the bookshelf :)  All three of the boys helped put Ellie's crib together.  Nate and Ry are already showing to be great big brothers!

Here is the almost finished product!

Friend made this for the hospital door and Ellie door!  Too cute!

Week 36 updates

It's been awhile since I have updated on this so let me fill you in on the past few weeks.  Last Tuesday we had an ultrasound that showed Ellie looking great.  She is approximatly 6lbs, 13oz.  Here is her newest picture.  You can see she has our pointy nose from mom and dad.
