April

Since i haven't posted for so long, i wanted to go back through the months with some added imagery... an outting at Wheeler Farm to see the animals.

We blessed our baby girl March 28th. It was such a beautiful, sunny day and most of our family was able to be there. I ordered a few dozen of My Dough Girl cookies (www.mydoughgirl.com)as a tribute to Lyza because she is the ultimate dough girl. She is so kissable. And i must add that Abe gives our babies the sweetest blessings. We blessed her in the same dress i was blessed in. My mom actually made it. I just had to unstitch the arms and open them way up and restitch so i could get her chubby arms through. I had Van dressed in a cute tie but before we even got home from the meeting it was off. Why didn't i take pictures before we left? And seeing those pictures makes me wish i had cut my hair off months ago.

39 weeks Pregnant with Lyza the morning we started the induction. I still maintain i was atleast 40-41 weeks. No doubt in my mind. My brother who works in family practice told me he hadn't seen a woman that pregnant ever. I've never been more fatigued in my whole life.

Just a belly comparison: 4 weeks before Van was born is the last picture we took of me.
