Update

Danilyn is doing great, she spends her time sleeping with occasional eating sessions to break up the monotony.

Thanks for the help Mom, Carlee loved having a new best friend for the week that you were here.


Carlee loves her sister, for the last six months she has been taking care of her dolls and is now excited to take care of the real thing.

Doing Great!

Danilyn was born on Tuesday at 3:11pm. No complications. Now Julee and Danilyn are home and doing great. Here are are few highlights:






Thanks for the all the well wishes and visits!

Danilyn Cleo Nielsen

She was born today at 3:11pm. 8 pounds 7.8 ounces, 21 inches long.

She was born three pounds heavier than Carlee and with a head full of hair!
Mama and Baby are doing great!

Update

Danilyn at 38 weeks 6 days inside her mama. Talk about chub in the cheeks. She is over 7 lbs. Amazing ultrasounds these days. Everything looks good. No signs of labor as of today.

This is Danilyns's cupboard with her cloths and stuff in it. It is from Target and so are the stickers I used to decorate it.

This is her little pack n' play next to our bed. There is a cheap bug mobile from Ikea hanging from the ceiling. See, we are ready. I haven't packed my hospital bag...maybe that is the hold up...

Here are some photos of my big belly. I have gained 21 lbs.



Here are some pictures of Carlee playing dress up. This is her in my apron holding some plush lettuce

with daddy's shoes on

and these are of her today in some random stuff, earrings from her misses potato head, bug antennas from two Halloweens ago and sunglasses with no lenses.

She got the lenses from the sunglasses and was walking around with them stuck to the bottom of her feet...


We had the young men from our ward over Sunday morning to eat breakfast and watch the first session of General Conference. It was awesome.

Weird Happening...Funny(?) Story

OK, so today Matt, Carlee and I went to an early morning doc appointment for me (I am not even dilated yet, cum on already!)and then headed to Hoboken University Hospital to check out the facilities where Danilyn will be born. We had previously set up an appointment but ended up missing it a while back so we thought we would just stop in and check it out really quick like we did at Christ Hospital. We were in the lobby and were told to call this number. Well, when we did, we kinda got the run around on the phone with the Labor and Delivery. They were confusing and said someone was possibly going to come down and talk to us. After a few minutes this lady comes down and asks if we are the couple wanting to go up and see the labor and delivery. After we confirm, she explains that usually you have to have an appointment. She proceeded to tell us that this morning it was extremely busy with TWELVE ladies delivering and nurses running around like crazy so it would not be a good time to go up. She asked if we wanted to reschedule. In the mean time, the lobby gets a call and it is a nurse from labor and delivery. The lady speaking to us takes the call and we hear her kinda confused like say, "OK, I'll escort them up." Apparently there was a free nurse after all that could show us around. So, we get dropped off up there and this really awesome nurse starts showing us around. One of the first things she says is: "This morning is particularly dead. In fact, we only have ONE patient right now." Wait a minute...

Done

I am so sick of being pregnant. Look, I know I shouldn't complain but that is all I want to do. I am really just feeling so overwhelmingly done with this pregnancy. It feels like I have been pregnant for sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo long. I just want to be myself again and have motivation and energy...and my brain back. I am going to go crazy if I can't go out and like just run around, jump up and down, do a cartwheel, or something, anything with my body besides feel huge, ugly, hot, grumpy, lethargic, sluggish and sickish all the freakin time. I just needed to go off about this to someone, get it out of my system and move on. Ug.
