Well 2 more days!

Oh my goodness we leave to go to the hospital in less than 24hours! We are beyond excited! I cannot believe that we are going to be parents so soon. We have been resting a lot this weekend and getting last minute stuff finished. Her nursery is done! All we need is a baby girl and pictures to put in the frames. This is going to be the best week of our lives, I just know it! I have been praying for every aspect of the labor, I know that God will be watching over us!






My mom is coming early tomorrow to help with some last minute stuff and deliver some yummy goodies for our freezer! It will be so nice to have her at the hospital during the cervadil experience! It makes me feel good to know that she will know the medical lingo, Michael and I are oblivious! We are prepared with puzzles, magazines, and the latest obsession Word Scrabble on my iphone! Michael and I have become obsessed with this game! So if you play on your phone invite us to play with you! But beware-we are pretty good. ;)

Please keep our family in your prayers! We are so excited!

37 Weeks!!

Well tomorrow I am 37 weeks and Lynlee is full term!  This is crazy how quickly it has all gone by!  We are so excited.  We also have some exciting news...... March 2nd is the big day!  We have decided to induce.  We have chosen to do so with the advice of our amazing doctor.  We are thrilled that we know when our little girl will be here and even more thrilled that everyone we love will be able to be there, as well as Dr. Tonkin.  We have gotten so close to her through this process and I just could not imagine going through the birthing process without her.  

We have also been in search of a good pediatrician.  It has been quite tough because of how amazing Dr. Tonkin has been.  Michael and I have gotten spoiled by her attentiveness and her wonderful bedside manor.  We just want her in the pediatrician form. :)  But I guess I can't have everything.  

Another exciting thing that has happened this weekend- the new Germantown Methodist facility opened!  So it is official- We will deliver in the new hospital!  I am particularly excited about this because there are so many new aspects of security, technology, and not to mention cleanliness!  We are touring the new hospital this Thursday in our class.  Can't wait to see it all. 

We also had our last shower this weekend and it was wonderful.  Michael's Aunt Claire and Family friend Cindy Ford hosted it for us and we got some of the cutest stuff!  We are so blessed and could not be more thankful for our friends and family!  Michael's favorite was a bathing suit that Aunt Claire and Grandmother got us!  He LOVES when Lynlee gets bathing suits.  (I think because he can picture us all hanging out and playing at the lake this summer with our sweet baby girl!)

Well that is about all for tonight!  We have 15 days and counting until Lynlee Harper is in our arms!  Please continue to pray for our family and our health. 

Love,

The Christie's

35 Weeks

A lot has gone on since my last post, imagine that! :) We had an amazing shower given by some of my closest friends, two doctors appointments, several snow days, and a million other things I am sure!  The shower was incredible!  Everything was just perfect.  I was so overwhelmed when I walked into the door, I think I cried about 5 times the first 35 minutes I was there.  We got so many sweet things for Lynlee girl, including our car seat!  This was a huge surprise because like everything else I have picked out for this girl, it was on backorder!  But the hostesses pulled together and got me that, along with so many other goodies! 

At our doctor's appointment yesterday we got to see our sweet little girl!  We were so excited to see her!  When Dr. Tonkin measured my stomach she was a little concerned because she felt that I was measuring small so she wanted to take a peak at our little girl.  Well the conclusion was that she looked great!  The tech thought she looked like she already weighs 6lbs!  Oh goodness I can't believe that she is already that big!  :) But she was bashful and had her little hand over her face again!  But even though we didn't get a good picture of her face it was great to see her moving around in there!  :) 

We received all of our cord blood info in today and it is ready to go.  We have our bags packed and are ready for the hospital!  I hope that we didn't forget to put anything in there. We are so excited!  We got everything for her outfit she will be wearing home and it is so sweet.  It is a pink and lace gown that I wore as a baby. I found her tights yesterday and dyed a pair of shoes to match the pink.  It is going to be so cute! 

Another exciting thing that has happened is that Lynlee had hiccups for the first time!  She had them last night and today!  It was the coolest thing I have ever felt!  I was so excited to feel this. Jordan had them all the time in my mom's belly and I wondered if Lynlee would.  

Pregnancy is such a miracle!

Thats all for now.
