The waiting continues...

We are now -2 days of the due date. Any time little Avolyn wants to come would just be fine with us. Friday we went to the doctor and my blood pressure was a little high. The doctor wanted me to just take it easy this past weekend. Even though I had a million and one things going in my head, for the most part I was able to keep pretty relaxed. We went back today and my blood pressure was the best it has ever been. I have hardly progressed in thinning and I am just 1 cm dilated still. We are going back to the doctor on Thursday where I will have another ultrasound and then need to make some decisions. Hopefully she will come before then so I wont have to be induced. At 36 weeks we had an ultrasound and she was measuring 7.5 lbs so now the doctors say that she is probably around 9.5 lbs. We are all very excited and will hopefully be able to post something soon after we know what is going on, and of course pictures of our little piggy when she finally decides to grace us with her presence. Until then enjoy these pictures of our little family.

Penn-syl-van-ia here we come!

A few weeks ago Mike, me and our friend Adam were able to get away and visit Billy and Amy that have just recently moved to Edinboro, Pennsylvania. Amy received a scholarship to continue her studies in ceramics. Our long weekend included yummy food, the boys building a fire pit, enjoying the fire pit, guitar playing, a trip to Lake Erie and enjoying each others company. Enjoy the pictures from the weekend. We miss them like crazy!!

3-2-1-Baby Showers!!!

We have been spoiled. In the past few months we have had 3 baby showers for Avolyn Rose. It is a very humbling experience and we appreciate everyone participating. We have for the most part everything ready for her arrival. Here are some pictures capturing the events.

Our first shower was at the Reed Family Reunion...

Then we had a shower that was hosted by Aunt Sherry, Aunt Theresa and cousin Brooke at Grandpa Eli's. We had lots of fun and fellowship. Brooke was in charge of games and did a fantastic job.

Mom horribly guessing how round I am....Kayleigh and I. She wants to take our baby after she is born. I told her we could share. She can do all the diaper duty!!

Mandi, me and Meghan(great friends from college)....Olivia, Jessica and I (great friends from Bloomington)

Brooke and I.....Peggy (Mike's mom) and Abigail (My mom)

We then had a baby shower at my work. These ladies have been so supportive and much like sisters or family during this changing time for Mike and I. We are so lucky to be surrounded by wonderful people.
