Update on Lorelai

I had an appointment at the NWA Breast Center today for an ultrasound to check on my previa. The tech seems to think that it is resolving but I'll not be convinced until the Radiologist reviews the images and tells my doctor.

On the up side, I got to see some really great images of Lorelai. I've never had an ultrasound so late and was really excited to see the difference a few weeks can make. We got a good look at her little face and she already has chubby cheeks. The tech said she looks like she's pretty filled out already. I think she may also have Lily's cute little nose. She measured a little ahead of where she should be, so she may be a little bigger than Lily. All-in-all, I think we got good news today!

Jay's Birthday at Gator Golf

On Saturday morning, we went to Jay's birthday party at Gator Golf. It was Lily's first time to miniature golf and it was pretty interesting. She didn't really like Daddy to help her (big surprise!) but she did ok on her own.

Girls Night at the Ballpark!

Friday night, we went to Arvest Ballpark to watch the Naturals play. It was only Lily's second Naturals game and our first time to see the Friday night fireworks. It was a beautiful night and even a little "chilly." While we were there we saw several of Lily's best friends.

After a quick change to warmer clothes, we met up with friends. Unfortunately, we didn't get a picture with Savvy but here are Emily and Caroline.
And the Naturals Win!!

Elmo Live!

Last night, Lily and I went to Ft. Smith with our friends Emily and Shelly to see Elmo Live! This was Lily's first live show since she freaked out at Disney World. I was a little nervous to see what her reaction would be but it was great. She was enthralled, enraptured even. She danced and waved and really enjoyed it.

On our way!

Better eat your dinner before Elmo.

Posing with Elmo, this is as close as Lily would get I'm sure

Waiting for the show to start.

Waving to Elmo and the gang.

Crazy dancing girls.

Enthralled!

Blowing kisses goodbye.

Lorelai's Room and baby update

We got Lorelai's nursery put together last week and I also went to the doctor. Everything still looks good. I'm measuring good and her heartbeat is still strong in the 150's. My doctor even thinks she has turned, which is one less strike against me. She scheduled me for another ultrasound on September 8th. I also now start going every 2 weeks. Check out the pictures below to see Lorelai's room. Thanks to Nana for all her hard work!
You can also see evidence that Lily likes Lorelai's room. She has been in there taking everything out and playing in there.

Lots of Firsts

It's been a while since I last blogged and Lily has had several Firsts since then. I decided to do a whole update on those.

Lily's First Inflatable Water Slide
She didn't like it and wouldn't do it again after this.

Lily's First Day in Her New Sunday School Class
She had a great day, as usual.

Lily's First Day of School (this year)
She had a good day except for 1 accident and has been accident free since then.

Kid's Fest at Silver Dollar City

We spent this past Saturday at Silver Dollar City. The weather was cool and damp but we had a great time. Lily rode all her favorite rides with Daddy while I got to sit and watch.
For the first time, Lily is tall enough and ready to ride by herself . She rode the bouncing froggies by herself like a big girl. It's exciting and sad at the same time.

Lily was thrilled to read the map, like Dora. Here's Lily and Daddy after the VeggieTale show. You can see Larry and Bob in the background. This is about as close as she'll get to things like that.
