Lilly's Flowers
I'm really excited about Lilly's new stone planter and her pretty flower arrangement.. designed by myself. :) I know you may think it's really silly to get so excited about something like this but it has taken us two and a half years to afford this beautiful planter. Every planter I looked at, didn't match up to my high expectations and wasn't perfect enough to hold the beautiful flowers that will sit before my daughter's grave. Here are the pictures. I'm a beginner at flower arrangements and I feel like this one isn't beautiful enough but am I ever going to feel like something is good enough when it comes to my daughter?!

Agh... 30 Weeks
This is a page from Dylan's Scrapbook! The Ultrasound girl, Sarah, wanted to give me some 4D pictures at my last Doctor's appointment. Which by the way was a wonderful appointment. Dr. Haven said the kidneys are now the same size and are normal. Wonderful news, Praise God!
Agh.. 30 Weeks!! :) Time is flying by so fast.. almost too fast. I do worry from time to time and wonder if I'm going to be a good mother. Or if I'm going to smother him and want him by my side at all times! I guess these worries are normal. I just want to raise my son to be respectful and love Jesus with all his heart.

28 Weeks
28 Weeks... YAY! I'm getting really excited! I can't wait!
So far I've gained 27 lbs and my blood pressure is still good. Around this time with Lilly, my blood pressure was high and my feet were swelling so bad they hurt. I'm having very little swelling, its usually by the end of the day. My next doctor's appointment will be Tuesday, May 12. I'll keep you updated! :)

24 Weeks- Best Hair Days!
Okay, so I'm skipping ahead a few days! I'm actually 23 Weeks 5 days... basically 24 Weeks! :) The pants that I'm wearing in the picture are being held together in the front with a hairband.. they fit about a month ago.. I swear. I'm definitely going to have to retire the shirt I was wearing. :?/ I like that shirt! Oh well anyways.. nothing really new has been happening to me or my body except for the fact I'm bigger and tummy hurts from stretching. Still the usual, no sleep, hungry all the time, and my clothes are shrinking... but my hair looks wonderful! ;) I have been feeling him kick a lot lately. I was in Down On Mainstreet, tuesday, for the BLT special (thanks Ashley for the BLT cravings) and he was kicking and he actually let the Patsy, Brookes, and Kira feel. I was surprised, he usually stops when someone puts their hand on my tummy.

22 Weeks and Counting! :)
22 Weeks and counting! :) I'm getting more and more excited as the days, weeks, months, pass by. At my last doctor's appointment, we had another ultrasound. Doctor Harris reassured us that the kidneys are okay. Everything is okay! I think that its a little hard for me to believe because last time everything wasn't okay. But I have to say God is great!
Last week tuesday, I had a very bad day. The kind of day where you wake up and NOTHING goes right. I had two HUGE zits plastered on the side of my face.. like two extra eyes on my face, my hair was a frightful mass of mess on the top of my head, I ran out of make-up, and I just plum felt fat and ugly. I had to go to class tuesday night and after class let out and I got home, Michael still hadn't gotten home from work. I called him like 100 times in 30 minutes and he wasn't answering. Finally, I just dialed his number again and a guy answered. I said, "What takes you so long to answer your phone?" He said, "Huh?" and I respond, "I have called you like 100 times." I look at my phone and realize that Michael was beeping in. Sometimes my phone just calls random people. So, I click over to Michael and give him the same spill that I gave the random man that my phone called. Then Glenn is beeping in, so I click over to him and I realize that the random guy was Glenn. I apologized and laughed. He said, "I get fussed out by my wife and now pregnant girls." I was so embarrassed! But I have to say it was really funny! I just glad that it was him and not really some random guy.
Well.. neways.. our crib came in last night and I got so excited I put it together in an hour. Its so pretty!
I ate at my in-laws house the other night and they still get some of our mail. Well, there was an invitation to the Cherished Lives Ceremony that Pitt Memorial Hospital gives in memory of all the babies who have died. I can't wait to go! Its really the only time that Michael, our family, and I can celebrate Lilly and her life. I'm so thankful that God has given me the gift to remember every moment of being with my daughter. I miss her so much!

19 Weeks
19 Weeks and 1 Day today! Lately, I have been feeling like a hippo.. unattractive and fat. I haven't been able to get a lot of sleep lately. I've been shoving pillow under and around every part of me, soon I think Michael is going to have to migrate to the couch. :)
I can't wait to start decorating Dylan's room. I bought a few canvas' today so that I can begin painting pictures for his room.. I would do murals but I don't think our landlord would like that. I finally go Michael to go with the sailboat theme. He was set on sports.. YUCK! I've already registered for sailboat stuff.
Michael took me last week to go register at Babies R Us. I think that he was having fun picking out all the baby boy clothes and things. I'm just really happy to see my husband so happy.
Last night, my sisters (without Sarah :(.. ) and I, went to Barnes and Nobles and while we were there Michael calls and wants me to pick him up a Expectant Fathers baby book. I'm so happy that he is so excited about the baby.
Well, my next appointment will be March 17th.. I can't wait

17 Weeks
This week, I've been super sick. I don't know if its the pregnancy or the virus that's been going around. Last time I went to the doctor they said I weighed about 118. I guess they were happy with that weight, and I'm pretty happy they didn't tell me to gain more.
At the last doctor's appointment, not everything was perfect... as I probably wrote. The doctor came in after the ultrasound and went down the list. Everything was great except one of the baby's kidneys is slightly larger then the other. She said that it wasn't in abnormal range but that they are still going to keep an eye on it. I wanted to cry after she told me that. She kept telling me that its probably nothing and its nothing to worry about. Do you know what is funny about her saying that??? They told me that same thing after Lilly's ultrasound. She also said that if I wanted to have another ultrasound done over at Fetal Medicine, she would schedule me an appointment. I asked her if Fetal Medicine was Brody School of Medicine and she said yes. I would rather cut my foot off and eat my toes then walk back into that place. I didn't tell the doctor that. I just told her that I would never step foot back into that place ever.
I just don't understand, if its nothing to worry about then why were they offering for me to go to Brody.. again???? I have to admit, last week I was pretty mad with God. I asked him over and over again.. why? Is it hard to give me just one perfect ultrasound? Why have I always got to worry about something?
Please keep us in your prayers! :)
