Keep on truckin'...

Today I'm 37 weeks which many obstetricians consider "full term".  Basically all this means is that if I went into labor now, they wouldn't try to stop me.  If I had a baby now, she would more than likely be fine.  However, the longer she stays in the better it is for her lungs and the more chance she had to pack on some fat.

I'm still running, but my dear friend Alecia has taken over my spin class.  It was getting a little hard to lean forward on the handle bars and perform the sprints.  My classes were consisting mostly of hills at this point.  Hee hee!  Since it's been nicer outside, I've been getting to play, do yard work, and run.  I've also been taking Lila on walks...which sometimes she loves and sometimes she hates.

Speaking of the big sister, she's about as ready as I am to have this baby.  She asks all the time about Baby Sister and tells me what she's going to do to help.  I'm hoping that her being here will still bring out the same feelings that Lila has for her now.  :)  She really is going to be a great big sister, I think.

So now...if anyone who is reading my blog has ANY tips on handling the first days/weeks of a newborn and toddler, please comment!  I'd love to hear what worked or didn't work for you.  We are so excited about the newest addition and very anxious for her arrival!  Also, I guess at this point, you may as well put any name suggestions in the hat too!  LOL  Nothing too trendy or too weird.  I like old-fashioned, classical names.

Have a wonderful day!

Baby Sister Stuff

Finally starting to get things done in Baby Sister's room.  Hopefully she will be here soon, but not TOO soon.    Just some updates.

• I'll be 36 weeks tomorrow.  
• We have still not picked out a name.  
• Lila is ready for her to be here.  This pregnancy has been more uncomfortable than my first, but still not too bad.  My only complaint is that I've had a stomach bug twice this time.  Not fun at all.  
• Neil is up to his ears in PINK!  He knows now that even if we do try again and we get a boy, he's out-numbered.
• I've been much happier since the weather has gotten a little warmer and I can get outside and play with Lila or go for runs.
• I can still wear my wedding rings (which is a HUGE deal for me at this point).

Love these new outfits that she got.  They are so cute!

Lila has a matching one!  Awwww....
