More Lyla

Here's Lyla jammin out to Thriller. It's hard to hear the music over my laughing, but I couldn't help it, she looks so cute!

Lyla sure is loved by her grandparents! She is the first on the Green side and the second on the Roskelley side. She is so blessed to have such a loving and supportive family.

Baby Lyla

So I always vowed to never let my blog just become a massive out pour of baby pictures and nothing else, but really, who was I kidding?? Especially it being the first week home from the hospital she pretty much consumes our lives. Here are some pics from her first days of life :)

Here she is flashing some gang signs, ha

Washing her hair. She looks calm here, but she really hated being wet and cold!

Dad turned 60 on Monday so we had a birthday party for him and Lyla. Lyla didn't get any cake though, dangit. Happy Birthday Dad!

I gave dad this lotion applicator thing for his back, he's showing it off

Our first moments together, the best moment in my life, except when I was sealed to Josh of course :)

The story: I woke up friday morning with no signs of going into labor. I watched some tv and went about my morning when I went to the bathroom and had some spotting so i called the doc and she told me to go to the labor and delivery to get it checked out. I hadn't had any contractions that morning so left the house at about 10am, with nothing but my purse, and I was on my way to the hospital when some contractions started. Josh was at school and had just barely finished a midterm and I picked him up to come with me. By the time we arrived to the hospital I was really starting to feel stronger contractions that I ever had before, and the nurse checked me out and we waited for about an hour and she confirmed that I was in labor and would not be leaving the hospital. They moved me into the delivery room and was in labor for a few hours and was getting stronger so was offered the epidural at about 4:30. In the next hour I went from a 5 to a 10 and then pushed for the last half hour or so and she arrived at 6:11pm. So I was only in labor about 8 hours and pushed for about 30 minutes, I was so happy with that as a first time labor! The next morning, Saturday Josh was off doing his busy life already and had two interviews for summer internships. That is why he is all dressed up in some of the pics :) We got released at 2pm and have been trying to get our schedule down, but she is a great baby and we are loving having this sweet little girl in our lives!

Valentine's Day

Lyla,

You were supposed to come yesterday, but decided you like being in the belly instead, so your dad and I celebrated Valentine's Day (eve) different than expected. We decided to eat at a new chinese restaurant we hadn't been to before, and went to see a movie called 'Valentine's Day'. It was a cute romantic comedy and I'm pretty sure every person we passed at the theater looked at my huge belly. We are getting impatient, please come soon!

Here we are at the movies with my new favorite coat that hopefully I can actually button in the near future!

I woke up for church with the smell of delicious heart-shaped pancakes, my favorite breakfast food. Thanks Josh :)

Due Date!

Today she is due, but still not here! I had a few braxton hicks for the first time yesterday, but none today yet. We are still deciding, should it be Lyla Mae, or Lyle Renae?! Lyla Mae flows better, but Renae is my middle name,so i'm having dilemmas deciding. Keep checking back for baby updates :)
