Mike found out that we were able to transfer to New Orleans out of Chicago. We found out that we were going to have a BABY! And we came to Baton Rouge for a friends wedding and looked for houses in LaPlace
I was so excited I took two tests!
Our first ultrasound! Right about 6 weeks

April came to visit, oh how I missed my "framily"!! We had a wonderful time, we spent a day in New Orleans and a day in Baton Rouge.
My Dad lost his long long battle with addiction. Although I was totally distraught over the passing of my dad I can now say that he is in a better place and no longer in pain.

The "framily" came to visit for my baby shower, which was great! I love my family and friends they were so good to us! Miss Lilly has a lot of people who love her!

You know how they say the bigger the better? Well I beg to differ, I never thought it was possible to have such a big belly.
36 Weeks...Holy tummy batman can that thing get any bigger
37 Weeks at Emily's baby shower, she was 34 weeks at that point and I won the belly bumping competition :)
April 2009--
My due date came and went..oh I couldn't imagine life not being pregnant at that point in time. April 7th I went to the doctor and he did an ultrasound to see how big she was and Miss Lilly came in at a whopping 8 lbs and 12 oz. So I immediately asked him to induce me! Mike and I went to the hospital at 7:30 that evening and they induced me at 5:00 the next morning. They finally told me I could start pushing at 5:00pm and I tried that for oh 3 hours! Miss Lilly was "sunny-side up" meaning she was facing up and not down, which makes it harder for her to make her entrance into the world. So after 3 long hours of pushing my doctor decided to do a c-section. And at 8:05pm Miss Lilly entered the world screaming her little cone head off! She weighed 7 lbs. 12 oz at 21 inches long. And after a day in the hospital we finally decided on a middle name..drum roll please...introducing Miss Lilly Kate!
Daddy got to introduce me to the family
My poor baby had a cone head after being stuck for 3 hours!
We are finally getting used to life at home with a baby, living off of little sleep but loving it.
First time sleeping in her crib.
