I am 34 weeks today! Time has seem to fly by while at the same time standing still. I have been pregnant all year!! I am very ready to meet our little girl. I can't wait to see who she looks like. Will she have curls (I hope so!)? Rob's dimple (I hope so!)?
I am now seeing the midwives in San Antonio every 2 weeks. Last week the check up went great. Lilliana is head down (yea!), I didn't gain any weight (yea!) and her heartbeat was perfect (yea!). I was given my 'birthing kit', which makes the fact that I am doing a home birth all the more real. It had all kinds of stuff in it that will probably make most of you nervous, so I'll spare you the details. :)
I now have Braxton Hicks contractions daily (having one right now!), and I am starting to get PUPPS (Pruritic Urticarial Papules and Plaques of Pregnancy). Oh joy. Both my sister and I have had the pleasure of getting this rash toward the end of our first pregnancies. We also both got some LOVELY hives to go with. (note the sarcasm!!) My hives came after I gave birth and lasted for 6 weeks! I'm talkin' full body hives...even on the palms of my hands and balls of my feet. I was so miserable. I am praying that this doesn't happen again! Supposedly the rash is more common in first pregnancies and when you are having a boy. So hopefully I don't get it too bad.
Only 6 week left to go! I have a feeling she is coming early...maybe in 4-5 weeks. I don't know why, just a feeling. Lily's room is almost ready! We are waiting on the mattress that should be here tomorrow, then I'll post pictures of her room! It is so fun and girly. Very different from the bold colors in Bobby's room.
Can't wait to hold our little girl!

1. I am praying daily that God blesses you with no hives. Really. Daily.
2. I can't wait to see her room all put together!
3. I can't wait to meet Lily!
It will be hard waiting a few weeks before seeing her in person! I don't have to tell you to take lots of pics and post them...
I am so excited for you! I know exactly what you mean about time going by quickly and standing still. Your in the home stretch now, and that's usually the hardest time! Wow, a home pregnancy!? That is amazing. I can't wait to see Liliana (LOVE THAT!). I am almost done with Bobby's dog! I had t just start it yesterday, but all I have left are his nose and ears, so I'll post pictures for you soon and send it out. I am adding the rest of your pregnancy and birth and more to my prayer list!
Oh Morgan I am so excited for you and I cannot wait to see Lily's face! Keep me posted!!!
Thanks everyone!
