As you read in my last post, Haylyn Jean Hill - Rylee's cousin - was born last Sunday. We were so consumed with her unexpected and early arrival that we forgot to update! Sorry! She had a doctor's appointment today and is doing great, she has gained some weight and even grown a 1/2 inch! The doctors said that was good considering she was a month early. She is now 5lbs14oz and 18.5in long. See my last post for pictures!
We had a doctors appointment on Friday and to say the least, I'm getting tired of them! But now we are going once a week for check ups until Rylee comes! According to that mean ol' scale - I have gained 6lbs since the last appointment two weeks prior. :( I know I'm supposed to gain weight to keep the baby healthy but that was a big jump from my normal 2lbs or so every 2 weeks! I blame Thanksgiving - Jake's potato skins, and Donna's apple pie! Lol. Either way, I hope that I don't see such a huge gain this week. With not much longer to go, the less I gain now the less I have to shed after she gets here.... Heather, you better be ready to hit the P90X hard core by end of January!!! Other than the weight gain and a mild case of dehydration, all is going smoothly! A few contractions here and there, and this week is blood work and Strep B testing - FUN FUN! :(
We had a very eventful weekend as well. Saturday we had the Glore family Christmas party which seconded as a second shower for me! I had no idea I would get as much stuff as I did, simply because this was a part of Michael's family I haven't met before. I missed their get together last year because of work. Everyone was so nice and we got a lot of great clothes and such for Rylee. I have one more shower the 13th and hopefully we'll get the rest of what we need then!
After the family Christmas party, we had Michael's company Christmas party. We had a blast and got a $25 gift card to the restaurant where we had our first date - The Cheesecake Factory!! YUMMY! It was great to finally meet all the people Michael works with and talks about (all good stuff I promise!!) all the time. Plus Florida lost the SEC championship to Alabama - And Tebow cried... All and all a great night!
Sunday we spent the day once again rearranging our room to better suit the arrival of Rylee. It is still a work in progress but here is what we got done so far...
Last but not least, the topic I'm sure you are most curious about - The palm reading... There is a guy named Micah who owns the gas station across from Donna's bank. When I was 13 weeks along he told me I was having a girl. He was SURE of it. SO last week, he came in and I asked him when he thought Rylee would come. He looked at me and said about 3 weeks - but then he read my palm and said the 17th of December! The dates coincide with me being 37 weeks which is considered full term. I'm not getting my hopes up but I hope he's right!
Hope everyone is doing good!! Miss and love you all!
