Ok so here's the official update post doc visit.... I am not dialated as of yet. And it looks as though my cervix needs some help "movin things along" so I'll be checking into the hospital this Thursday and the doc believes she'll make her "debut" some time on Friday! Wish us luck. We will keep in touch, well not me, I'll be pretty busy, but Monica is on the job to contact friends and family with further updates and news.
Thanks so much for all of your sweet messages and calls. We certainly feel the love and can't wait to share this wonderful experience with all of you that mean so much to us. So say your prayers, our little girl is on her way!!!

Preggo Update!
Hello all! Since it's been so long since I've posted I figured I'd throw in some preggo pics to make up for it! Its been a good while since I've seen a lot of my friends and fam so enjoy these "money belly shots" I've provided for you!
This most recent one here was actually taken yesterday. Kinda interesting that our 10 lb fat cat looks quite tiny in comparison to the large belly standing beside her! Puts things into perspective, ey?!
Well these last couple of months have been great, but of course I've become more and more impatient for Lola to come. I have been lucky enough to be on Maternity Leave for the month of April and now May which has given me a really great time to both prepare the house and to get rest when I've needed to. I have learned a lot about Facebook, gmail and internet Solitaire, as well as caught up on absolutely every television show imaginable (no joke) to watch. I must say that I'm all caught up on celebrity news and gossip via Us weekly, People and Ok mags.
If you scroll down you can see a pic of Lola's room. I know, I know, I never imagined I'd have a pink room either! But this little girl has really got me into the "little girl groove" I'll tell you. I love this room. Thanks big time to the Campbell's for not only lending us the fabulous bed and painting, but also for all of your hard work in setting up this room and moving around endless amounts of furniture, paintings, etc. We wouldn't have been so ready without you! I definitely think her room is now my favorite in this house. It's just wild to see how its changed and what it means. I wont lie, there are times that I've stopped at the doorway and just looked around the room wondering about what it'll be like when there's a little girl living here.
Ok so here's the officially "baby tracking update". My mom arrives today and she'll be joining me and Harrison and the doc's office for a visit. Doc seems to think Lola's going to arrive this week (woo hoo!) so he will be checking to see if I've dialated at all today. He's also doing an ultra sound to see her actual size and position. I'm really excited because I haven't seen her for about 20 weeks and am very anxious for a little glimpse! I will keep you all posted!

February Update
So sorry its been soooo long since I've updated, but I did warn about this! Well, we are at 28 weeks now!! So much has progressed since December, it's crazy! Let's see, well my baby bump has officially become a baby belly. When I asked my doctor if it was normal to continually be gaining such weight, he reminded me that "well, there is a baby growing in there!" Funny how I kept staring at my stomach for so long just waiting for it to grow and then one day I woke up and I couldn't see my toes! Nuts.
I am so happy because I was thrown a seriously FABULOUS baby shower last weekend in Tampa by Lola's "Fairy Godmothers", Monica, Rami, Amy, Tia Ramona, Christine and Mom. It was so beautiful I can't get over it. The attention to detail and the adorable Princess theme of black, white and pink was so cute it was crazy. The room was decorated for a princess for sure! It was so amazing to have all those women surround me to celebrate little Lola-to-be. Needless to say, I was choked up well before I even got to the shower. And needless to say, Lola doesn't have clothes, the girl now officially is sporting a wardrobe.
Harrison and I were able to make it down just in time for Nino's Surprise 30th birthday thrown by Amy and the folks. It was an AWESOME party! The food was great, the band was awesome but my favorite part of all of it was definitely dad and Nino singing "hot,hot,hot" and dad officially ending the night by throwing Nino in the pool!
Ok so back to baby updates. We just saw the doctor yesterday and he assured us that all looks well and that she is growing at a great rate! She's kicking me like crazy now and I never get over it. The best part now is that I can actually see my belly move when she does it. Absolutely surreal.
Harrison and I are doing really great. He's been such an amazing person through all of these changing months, moods, growths, etc!! He really has made this process much easier on me. I am really thankful I've been blessed with such a spectacular man to share this experience with. Ok, sorry for the incessant mushiness, I am preggo, hormones come with the territory!
I also want to mention, mom, that I am really proud of how strong you are being during your tough time. For those unaware, my mom has found out that she has a form of breast cancer. The good news is it is totally operable and all signs point to a very good future and positive outcomes. However, it doesn't mean its easy for her, but you'd never know it from talking to her.
Mom, you are, without a doubt, a serioulsy "tough cookie". Between taking care of all of us, you are managing to handle a difficult situation with strength and a continued smile on your face. You have so many people near and far that love you, want the best for you and are here for you. Mom, you have touched so many people's lives in a major way and now you get to see that impact returned to you when you need it most. I love you so much.
