Happy First Father's Day Daddy!

We celebrated Daddy's first Father's Day! I gave Daddy a card, a picture of me to take to work and two Virginia Tech children books that we can read together- "Watching the Hokies play with Daddy" and "Hello Hokie Bird!".



Later, we went to my Grandpa Frank's house and I met my Great Grandpa Lee and spent the afternoon with the Lee family.



Here I am with Daddy and his Daddy- my Pawpaw:

First Week

Lila had a great first week! She came home Friday afternoon after a clean bill of health from the doctors at the hospital. They called her a feisty little girl!




Last day in the hospital- no sleep but still smiling and ready to go home!





She met grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and lots of friends. She went on a few walks, was read lots of books and played in her bouncer (the blanket was her Mommy's and was made by her Great Great Grandmother).




She had her first bath...which she didn't like so much:



She had her first appointment with her pediatrician and is doing great.

Our little Lila Berry:

Happy Birthday Lila Kate!

Lila Kate was born June 10th at 8:17 pm, weighing 7 lbs 7 oz and measuring 20.75 inches long. She is doing great and is absolutely adorable!

We checked into the hospital bright and early at 5am. I was officially in labor at 6:30 am and we had a long day ahead of us. We took lots of naps!




Finally around 7:15 pm we were about ready to start pushing. I pushed for only 40 minutes and Lila came out with a big strong cry.






We adore her already!

Just waiting

No news to report, we're just enjoying our last few "quiet" days until Baby Girl Whitesell arrives. My 38 week appointments went well, no major progress just a 1 cm dilated and still about 70% effaced. Everything looked great during the sonogram, and I was able to see her get the hiccups and yawn- cute! I just have one more day at work and Wednesday is the big day for our induction. We'll get started early in the morning and have been told average induction takes 8-12 hours, so hopefully we can meet our little girl that evening!
