Nothing much to report

So, no baby yet. Looking over the dates picked by everybody, I feel like I'm no where near the finish line. However, I have been informed that no pregnancy has ever gone on forever, so eventually it will end, one way or another.

After my doctor's visit yesterday, I can report that I have made a little progress. Half a centimeter dilated. Not much, but it's something. We will be sure to let everyone know when we go to the hospital for the big event.

Lilia's Birthday

Lilia had a great birthday and party.  She got some clothes from Laura's mom; Play-Doh, sidewalk chalk, swimsuit, and bouncy balls; but her favorite gifts were the $6 worth of balloons we got her.  She apparently really loves balloons.

We had some of her friends over and ate hot dogs and chips.  Laura made some cupcakes that were really delicious and shaped as a character from Yo Gabba Gabba (Lilia's favorite TV show).  We decorated with streamers and balloons while she was taking her nap.  She woke up just as her best friend was showing up and was really surprised when she saw the decorations and her friend.

We had a good time and I think Lilia did too.  She is getting really big and talking a lot.  Her vocabulary is increasing super fast and she surprises us every day.
