She's Here!

 

 

Lena Joy Pretekin was born on February 15, 2014 at 10:13 am.  She weighed 6 lbs. 12 oz. and was 16.5 inches long.  We're so excited she's here!

36 Weeks

I am 36 weeks today...9 months!! I can't believe how close we are to meeting our little lady. I'm getting very anxious for her to be here and also feeling a bit tired of being pregnant, which is something I never experienced with Graham. However, I am so incredibly grateful to be here. There were several moments early on when I really felt that we would never make it this far and that is a terrifying and devastating feeling.

I had a doctor's appointment last week and will have one later this week, as we have moved to weekly appointments. Last week, at 35 weeks, I was 2 cm dilated and my cervix was quite thin and soft. Baby girl had also dropped down and was in the head down position. Things are moving along!

And the Grammy for Song of the Year Goes To...

Here's Graham singing a song that he wrote himself and titled "Mud Graham."

And again...too bad we weren't both looking at the camera at the same time!

32 Weeks

Here's the belly at 32 weeks! It's amazing that we only have 8 weeks (give or take a little) left!
*Note: My goal had been to stay on track with my monthly belly picture posts, especially since I was very good about this during my pregnancy with Graham. I want to keep the same records and documentation through this blog with this pregnancy. This means that I'm behind with my post about our holiday. I promise to have that up soon!
