I took pictures at every week of my pregnancy starting at 6 weeks (skipped 7-12 weeks). Here is the video I made of it.

One Month!
Today my baby girl is one month old! Can’t believe we have made it through a month! Life is starting to feel some what normal again. We went to church on Sunday for the first time with baby. I missed being in church. Rylie did well except for the occasional grumpy face along with a noise. She just slept as if nothing were going on. I’m so glad she is use to loud noises and dogs barking. If not she would be awake a lot more, and I would be a tired and upset momma. She is getting really great at holding her head on her own. She just lifts it up and looks around like a curious monkey. She also is getting bigger every day! She doesn’t seem so tiny and fragile (even though she still is).
Here is her one month pic and a couple others:

I am a Slacker
I’ve been a big slacker on my blog recently, but I’m sure you can understand why. I was really hoping to change web hosts, but I don’t have the time to sit down and do a whole new site. Maybe when Rylie gets a little older but for now WordPress will have to do.
BrandyBurridge.com took Rylie’s newborn photos yesterday and I am very thankful for her and her husbands patience. Rylie was good at first but wide awake. We kind of needed a sleepy baby. They did happen to get some really cute photos though. Then we tried to put her in her swing to get her sleepy. She fell asleep but only for a brief moment. As soon as we tried to position her to take more pictures she screamed. She really just wanted to be held. I did get to see the raw photos and I can’t wait to see them all edited! Thanks Brandy! Your work is amazing!!
I will try and post more pictures and update more! For now I leave you with a couple of my cutie!

The Last Supper
That’s what Seth decided to call it. We went to Kobe Steakhouse Monday night for our last dinner together before we become parents and boy was it good! It was a nice relaxing night as we took in the silence and freedom of being childless. Of course we can go out together once we do have kids, but this was the last time we were just husband and wife and not mom and dad.

38 Weeks
My last weekly update! I am scheduled to be induced this weekend, so I will not be making it to my due date. She may even decide to enter the world earlier, but we will see! I had my last Dr. apt. on Monday and he wanted to get things moving…painful! Hopefully it will help and I wont be in labor too long! Keep us all in your prayers as we become a family of 3 (plus our 2 pups)!
How far along? 38 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 30 pounds total.
Maternity clothes? Yes of course. Can’t wait to get out of them!
Sleep: Eh. It’s alright. Trying to get as much now before she gets here.
Best moment this week: Finding out my induction date! Who knows, maybe she will come on her own.
Movement: Still lots. They were having a hard time monitoring her on Monday because she was moving so much. I think she’s ready to get out and stretch!
Food cravings: Nada.
Gender: GIRL!!
Belly Button in or out? It never fully popped but it came close enough.
What I miss: Lifting, moving, or organizing things on my own. I hate depending on Seth to do everything for me.
What I am looking forward to: Having my baby this week! Can’t wait to meet my little angel!
Weekly Wisdom: Use this time to take it all in. Things are about to change forever.
Milestones: These last 9 months have been a journey! For the most part I’ve had an enjoyable pregnancy and I wouldn’t change a thing about it!

Baby’s Size…Week 38
How your baby’s growing:
Your baby has really plumped up. She weighs about 6.8 pounds and she’s over 19 1/2 inches long (like a leek). She has a firm grasp, which you’ll soon be able to test when you hold her hand for the first time! Her organs have matured and are ready for life outside the womb.
Wondering what color your baby’s eyes will be? You may not be able to tell right away. If she’s born with brown eyes, they’ll likely stay brown. If she’s born with steel gray or dark blue eyes, they may stay gray or blue or turn green, hazel, or brown by the time she’s 9 months old. That’s because a child’s irises (the colored part of the eye) may gain more pigment in the months after she’s born, but they usually won’t get “lighter” or more blue. (Green, hazel, and brown eyes have more pigment than gray or blue eyes.)

37 Weeks
Update: I had an appointment on Monday and the Dr. went over my ultra sound from Friday. The baby is definitely measuring big and there is a slight increase in fluid so he wants to induce me in a week or so! I seriously was not expecting to hear that and about fell off the table. You mean I could have a baby in about a week? Whoa! The reason is because bigger baby’s demand more from the placenta and it would be best to get her out sooner rather than later. I honestly don’t care when she comes or if they decide to evict her, just as long as she is healthy! If this will keep her as healthy as possible, then so be it. Now I’m just waiting on the induction date from the Dr.
How far along? 37 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 30 pounds total.
Maternity clothes? Yes. I am now wearing the same 5 outfits every week. It’s kind of sad.
Sleep: Not the greatest. So much pressure on my rib cage. I also wake up with a stiff neck/arm/body every morning.
Best moment this week: Well this definitely came as a shocker, but finding out I may be induced next weekend. It’s a mixed emotions type of feeling!
Movement: Yes. She is a wild thing in there.
Food cravings: Nada.
Gender: GIRL!!
Belly Button in or out? It is pretty much out.
What I miss: My body not being achy. It’s just a constant lower back pain, or rib pain when laying down.
What I am looking forward to: Having my baby! I’m a little nervous about labor, but I know it will be all worth it.
Weekly Wisdom: Expect the unexpected! You can not plan this type of thing, so have an open mind and be ready for anything!
Milestones: I am now officially full term!!

Baby’s Size…Weeks 37-40
How your baby’s growing:
Congratulations — your baby is full term! This means that if your baby arrives now, her lungs should be fully mature and ready to adjust to life outside the womb, even though your due date is still three weeks away.
Your baby weighs 6 1/3 pounds and measures a bit over 19 inches, head to heel (like a stalk of Swiss chard). Many babies have a full head of hair at birth, with locks from 1/2 inch to 1 1/2 inches long. But don’t be surprised if your baby’s hair isn’t the same color as yours. Dark-haired couples are sometimes thrown for a loop when their children come out as blonds or redheads, and fair-haired couples have been surprised by Elvis look-alikes. And then, of course, some babies sport only peach fuzz.
Baby spends these last weeks in preparation for the outside world… meaning careful refinement of the blink, suck, inhale and exhale. Meconium, which you’ll probably find in the first diaper, is accumulating in the intestines. If (okay, as) you worry about giving birth, consider what it’s like for the little one. During the journey out of your womb, baby will produce more stress hormones than any other time in life.
