She's HERE

Weighing in at 8lbs and 3.75 oz Lyla Robinson Setzer joined our family on Sunday night, August 24, 2008 at 11:10pm. We are doing fine just lacking sleep. I will blog more as I get time and rest. Thanks for all your prayers and well wishes through out the past several weeks.

Bed Rest...

Well I am officially on bed rest as of Wednesday. My blood pressure has been up and before I become full fledged pre-eclampsic they want me to take it easy. I am still on schedule for a c-section for Friday August 29th. Unless of course my water breaks or my blood pressure goes nuts. So far the bed rest seems to be working. I don't think I realized how tired I was.

Riley is home with me today. She threw up first thing this morning so no school for her. :) With all this rest I have finally been able to upload 100s of pictures on picasa please check them out at your leisure. I am going to attach a picture of Riley and "Flat Stanley" he came to visit last week via school and we had to make pictures of the things "Flat Stanley" got to do with us.

Also THANK YOU to my Dad and sister who were here this week and both were a huge help. Sorry you didn't get to see the baby but that just means you will have to come back soon!

Still....

still pregnant....i don't want to talk about it. :)

"Lyla Smushy Face"

Here is the latest sonogram photo of Miss Lyla aka Smush Face. You may have to turn your head 90 degrees to the right to make out her face. Her hand is underneath her chin. Nose and lips are mashed up against the womb. I didn't see the doctor just an ultrasound today. She is 6lbs. 11oz. and running out of room. Fluid levels are all good and everything looked fine. Maybe she will soon realize there is a lot more room out here than in there and make her debut, until then I am glad to know she is doing well in there.

Still pregnant :)

Still pregnant no change.....FACT: babies come when they want to. I have a sonogram tomorrow at nine.

In BREAKING WEEKEND NEWS Riley pooped in the potty all by herself. She came into the living room Saturday morning and said "hey mom I just poopied in the potty." I was in total "yeah right mode" but I got up to check her training potty in the bathroom and sure enough there was a monster poop in the little pot. We threw an all out party. Gummy bears, mint choc chip ice cream followed by phone calls to various people so she could shout in the phone "I poopied in the potty."

Sorry I have no new pictures again I seriously can not get motivated to locate the camera let alone take and then download pictures.

No Change

I went to the OB yesterday and took Riley with me ahh fun times. There is no change I am still 50% effaced and 1 cm dilated. I was kind of disappointed I wanted them to be more like "get your butt to the hospital its go time." Nevertheless, Riley was well behaved and EXTREMELY curious during our OB visit. When the doctor came into the exam room Riley says "can you take my baby out today?" however, Dr. Kirkpatrick told her she had to wait a little longer before she could take the baby out. She got to hear the heartbeat, but the biggest moment for her was that Mommy had to pee in a cup. She also sat in the waiting room with me for an hour and read the Bible as loud as possible for the entire hour. Can I get a witness???





In other happy news my sister in law Maria Setzer has bitten the bullet and started her own blog. She too is pregnant with her first child and today is her birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIA.





Also, please keep John's dad Dennis in your prayers he has surgery tomorrow on a pinched nerve in his back, if all goes well he will be able to use and feel his left arm again for the first time in nearly a year.

Still prego

Well it's Monday morning and I am still with child. I am a little relieved since this means Lyla should really have no lung issues now that I am officially 36 weeks pregnant. I am now ridiculously uncomfortable. Back, hips, pelvis, sciatic nerve, heartburn, TIRED, and let's face it I should just wear adult diapers or get a cathiter I could be much more productive without all the pee breaks. I am officially no longer attractive. Over the last several days I have discovered that I now SNORE. These are not small lady like snores these are large "wholly crap I think I just swallowed my tongue snores." They wake me up from a deep sleep. These snores put Miss Piggy to shame people. I did read this could happen while pregnant, lets just keep our fingers crossed that this goes away after I give birth or I might have to sleep upstairs in the bonus room forever.

Yesterday, John and I took Riley to see the Wacha Weechie (sp) Mermaids that were performing at the Ripley's Aquarium. His two nephews and niece were also in town so they joined us along with Nana and Pop Pop. Riley is BIG TIME into mermaids so I thought this would be great for her. We got there an hour early. The place was already packed and when I say packed I mean personal space was no where to be found. It was hot an humid and there were crying children and smelly people everywhere. We PAID to wait in this environment for AN HOUR. Finally the mermaids show up in the stingray tank and floated around for a whopping 15 minutes and it was all over. Seriously it was not a good experience. I don't think Riley was even impressed so the next time I decide we all need to go and do something like "watch mermaids" I will just throw $25 in the trash can and have my someone kick me in the shins it would be about the same feeling as sitting through the mermaid wait and the more than disappointing show.

I am sorry I have a bad attitude right now I think it is the lack of sleep and uncomfortableness rearing their ugly heads. Anyway hopefully this week will be the week Lyla makes her debut otherwise my attitude might just get uglier. :)
