I know I have been pretty bad at updating this blog- but Mike and I have been pretty busy AND I have been so exhausted to even take the time to update this. But I know I need to so Miss Lily has record of what went on while she was growing in the belly!
So there will be a couple of new posts of the many activities that have been going on lately like the amazing baby shower, Lily's baby room completion, another 3d ultrasound, and some shout outs to some special people that really deserve some attention for being so supportive!
So to date I am almost 34 weeks! At 30 weeks we went in for our 30 week ultrasound (our last one with our doctor ;(...) and a checkup. Miss Lily was measuring at a healthy 3.4 lbs and we ever saw her open her eyes on the ultrasound which was amazing. At the 30 week checkup our amazing tech. was able to point out that baby girl had hair!!! Fine baby hair, but I am so excited to see her lovely locks when she arrives! Since they were able to measure her they gave estimates for her birth weight. At full term, if delivered she could weigh at most 8.5 lbs, but it is more likely that she will be in the high 7's.... Mike and I already placed bets. I think mine was 7.11 or 7.12 and Mike said 8.1, any others want to guess??? One more thing, it was said that our daughter has a big head! So look out world, we are giving birth to a brainiac- screw Hillary...Lily Mackenzie Romano for president ;)

Hellooooo 3rd trimester!!!
Tomorrow we will have reached 27 weeks and in the third trimester!!! I have an app that counts down by weeks or by days, and tomorrow we will have 92 more days...but who knows it could be less, or more depending on when Lily wants to make her grand appearance;)
So I will add some other 3 d pics that I forgot to add from the second time we went to get better shots of her. Let's just say she loves her hands! She had them all up around her face a majority of the time, however we were able to get a few shots without a hand or foot blocking her sweet little face! Besides the glamour shots, Lily has been pretty busy inside her cocoon! Last night I had insomnia, AGAIN, and just when I thought I could fall asleep Lily decided to move furniture around...most of the time I can sleep though it. It usually wakes me up but I am usually able to fall back asleep. BUT last night stunk! Hopefully I get more rest tonight- because in one of my offices a nurse (who I am friendly with and didn't care she said this!) looked at me and said "geeze- you look so tired!"
What else to report....my back, yes my back problems. Man I feel and look like I am 90 years old!! I have still been getting those horrible back pinches- most of the time it is just horrible tension feeling. Last night I leaned over the bed and was swaying back and forth to try and stretch it out. Mike walked in and was like "Geeze are you okay"...it looked like I was going through labor! So the last few days I have not even been using my workbag when I go into the offices. I just carry in my computer, keys and any marketing materials to drop off. So we will see how long I can really do that and be productive- but I really don't care- just because I just don't want to keep putting strain on my back! Today I wore flats for the for time to work and it was fabulous for the first hour, and then even in flats, my feet started to swell!!! I just kept repeating "93 more days, 93 more days"....
Lil's room is really looking more and more complete! I will take pictures tomorrow or this weekend! We have an end table that my mom and I painted the same pink on the walls. I switched out the knob on the drawer for this cute one I got dirt cheap on clearance at pottery barn. We put up her butterfly mobile and it is super cute. It is a huge one and hangs from the ceiling! I figured she will be able to use this even as she growns to "big girl" status! Yesterday my mom and I hung shelves over her changing table and Mike put together her bassinet my mom got us- ( she said it was an early birthday present for me, but I know it is just a small part of the big picture of how much this child is going to be spoiled!!).... The chair and ottoman that my mother-in-law and sis-in-law got us comes sometime in April and the drapes I ordered are on back order until April 15th...so I have some time before it will truly be a complete room!
What else...well I have only told a few girl friends this story, and now I really just laugh about it...but one experience I have had during this pregnancy can come at any moment and has the possibility of being uber embarrassing! Luckly, it has only happened at home and in front of Mike. The first time "this thing" has happened was when Mike and I were watching tv. And like usual, Mike made some corny, but funny;), comment and I laughed out loud really hard. And then I wet myself....yes people I pee'd my pants! Not bad, but enough where I needed to change my underwear!!! That was a good laugh. But now if I sneeze I have to hold my legs together too! So at any point of my day if I laugh to hard or sneeze, I could pee! The other day I was in Target and felt a sneeze coming, I panicked and crossed my legs together. I must have looked ridiculous!!! Anyways I hope you enjoyed that story and it made you laugh! Can't wait to share this story with Lily when she gets older!
