Lily 5 weeks

Well it has been a while since I have written. It has been crazy around here. I have this beautiful baby girl that does not like to be put down. It is hard to type with her in my arms. She is starting to stare at everything and notice more and more things. It is so incredible to watch her grow. Her little head is starting to raise up more and more. She has changed so much in just 5 weeks. I can't even believe it. Sleep is still about the same. She is getting up about every three hours for her bottle. I never thought I would be able to handle someone waking me up in the middle of the night. But, with her I am so excited to be there for her. Mike and I are just looking forward to everything that comes with this baby. :) McF

Lily

We are getting into the swing of things with this little one. She is just so precious. She is now 2 and a half weeks old. We are not sleeping very well, but that is nothing to complain about. She is our little miracle and we love her so much.

She is here.

Just a quick note to let you know she is here. Lily was born 11/20/2007 at 7:49pm. I can not tell you how in love we are with her. I will write more when I am a bit more rested. That could be in 18 years. McF

She moved her foot!

We went to the doctor today and saw Miss Lily. She looks great. You could actually see her little chest moving up and down as if she was breathing on her own. She looks wonderful, chubby cheeks, big feet!!. Doc says all is perfect and that is a relief, so we are still scheduled for the 3rd of December---- 17 days. Her estimated weight right now is 7lbs4oz. Mike and I are getting so excited- we can't wait to have her home. xxxxx

Lily Coming Soon

We went to the doc yesterday and got to see the precious little girl. She still has her foot in her mouth, so we will have to work on that with her. We were also able to see her hair. No, I don't know what color! I do know that she has hair and I can't wait to put a bow in it. We are still scheduled for December 3rd, which will be 24 days from now. I actually feel like a little girl waiting for my best Christmas ever. Counting down each and everyday. McF

Letters

You can't really see the ribbon above the letters but, I thought I would give you an idea. Thanks Aunt Leah for hanging them so well. McF

Doctors Visit

Just got home from the doctor. Things are going really well. It looks like she is weighing about 5lbs 11oz. So she will be a big girl. She still has that foot in her face-- hopefully that will go away when she is born. We are now on weekly visits (which makes me happy)! Maybe she will come before the 3rd of December, I am almost positive that it will happen that way. So we got to see the precious little one today, and needless to say we are so excited. McCalle

Another Post

nothing really new to post today, but I promised I would update the blog. We had our shower last weekend and it was a great turn out. Lily got so many great things. Now, where do we put all of this stuff. Mike will be busy this weekend putting swings and such together. We are for sure going to need a bigger house soon. We go in Monday to see how much Lily has grown, I can tell you she is getting big!!! Sometimes I get a little scared because my pregnancy is not a normal one. I can not feel her all of the time and so of course you know me I worry until I finally feel a little move. She is starting to slow down even more, there is not a lot of room in there for her to wiggle around.
Mozey (my mom) was in town last weekend for the shower and she helped me get things in order. I know she is just as excited as Mike and I are. You never feel so far away from your mom until something life changing like this happens. I know she will be around a lot, and that is really all that matters. I was always so close to my mom and I would hate if Lily did not know her too. Anyways, I will update more as things happen. Until then we just wait...... 46 more days until the scheduled arrival. McF

Another day

Just thought I would let you know that we went to the doc today and all was well. We go back in two weeks to see how much Lily "moose" Fryar has grown. It is getting closer and closer to the time. I think I am ready, but then again I freak myself out everytime I start thinking about bringing a little baby into our house. I know that things will fall into place, I guess right now we are a little nervous- they say that is normal. I have Mike reading a baby book to get him up to speed on what to expect. He has not fled yet so I guess he is coming to terms with this as well. Until next time, McF

Velveteen Rabbit!

"What is REAL?" asked the Rabbit one day, when they were lying side by side near the nursery fender, before Nana came to tidy the room. "Does it mean having things that buzz inside you and a stick-out handle?"
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
"Does it happen all at once, like being wound up," he asked, "or bit by bit?"
"It doesn't happen all at once," said the Skin Horse. "You become. It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand."

Just checking out the stroller. The cats are loving all of this!

Another View of the Nursery!

Just thought I would add another photo of Lily's room. I am going to go and look this week for things to hang on the wall. Look at little Henry in this photo. He truly thinks that this is going to be his room. He is not sure of the colors but he does love the crib- he thinks it is just perfect for him. McF

Lily's Room

Just thought I would add a photo of the start of Lily's room. We still have to hang photos and all of that, but here is this for now. I am getting so excited and just know that her room will be so precious. Poor Mike what is he to do with 2 girls taking over? MF

LILY BILLY UPDATE

We went to the doctor yesterday and all is going wonderful. The doc thinks I will be carrying her to term or well 6 days shy of term. I am scheduled for a C-section on the 3rd of December at noon. So unless she comes before that is our date. She also is a very big baby-but the doctor did not seem worried about that. She just made jokes that she is already double the size that she is supposed to be right now. I can't imagine where she gets that from her mom and dad are such small petite people. So it looks like 69 more days of a childless Fryar household. MF

3D Ultrasound..... TODAY

Well I got great news today.. We don't have gestational diabetes. How great is that? Also I got to see Lily's little face. She has a turned up nose like her daddy and chubby cheeks like her daddy.. I can't wait to see her and hold her. She is already so beautiful. Wow I sound like one of those women!!!

3D ULTRASOUND, not today

I was hoping to be able to post a beautiful picture of Lily on here. But, it seems that she is a bit shy. She did not want to turn and face the camera she wanted to stay facing my back. I will tell you she has very long legs and long arms. We saw her ears and they are perfect. Now is that ridiculous that our daughter has perfect ears. She sure is starting to move around a lot more. Which is a great feeling if I am not asleep. Mike and I started singing lullabies to her last night- poor girl we have no idea how they go so we made up our own version. Some were rap and some were opera. :-)

Gestational Diabetes

Well.. Looks as if I did not pass the first test. So we are off for our second test this Friday. Not looking forward to it. But, whatever I need to do to make sure Lily is okay I will do. So that is all I know for now. I am gettting more and more excited everyday. Lily's best friend is due to come into the world this Sunday so I can't wait for that. I am sure Amber (Baylee's mom) can't wait for that either.

So we are getting closer and the dreams are starting to become more real.

Doctor Appt

I go in tomorrow for my gestational diabetes test. A little nervous about it. Nervous because I can not eat or drink anything until after I give blood. YIKES!! How will I ever make it for that?
I bought a few little fun outfits for Lily today. Needless to say she has a lot of clothes. I did buy something for her to come home in and she will look so precious. She will be precious naked also. We already love her so much. I guess like 2 and a half months to go. WOW!

Crib

We have put the crib together so we are moving along on the nursery. When all of the bedding comes in I will be sure to take pics and put them on the this site for all to see. I am getting more and more anxious about this little one. I keep asking Mike if he can really believe that we are going to have a baby. He just looks at me with the stop asking me that question look. :-)
Labor Day weekend with a cold so much fun!!

Lily and her massage

I went yesterday for a massage and this was the first time that Lily has been upside down (well before I could not feel her). She was not happy with me being on my tummy. She kicked and hit and kicked and hit for the entire hour. So not real relaxing, but I did find myself laughing at how active she was. I just can't wait to meet her.

25 weeks

Here it is 25 weeks have passed since becoming pregnant with Lily. I can not even imagine being a mother. I am so excited, scared, happy, you name it I am it. Mike and I are ready to meet the little one. We are starting to get her nusery all ready for her to come home. I can not imagine what she will look like- that has to be the most exciting part to me.
After losing my father on the 9th of August I have really focused on the happiness that Lily will bring to us. Although it will be hard work and difficult at times, she will have so much love from everyone.
We have told the dogs (my babies) a couple of times that they are going to have a sister, but we are not sure if they really understand what that means. They are in for a huge surprise- not only is mom huge there is actually a little baby in there.
