This past Friday night was Berry's Homecoming and Lily Grace got to be a mascot for one of the Berry Varsity Cheerleaders. Some of us were really worried she wouldn't even go out of the field but she did great!!! She stayed out there the whole time, cheered, did a jump when they called her name over the intercom, and even went to the victory line with the cheerleaders and cheered the whole time. We were so proud of her. She didn't want to come off the field. It was a lot of fun watching her. Here are some pictures from the night.

Looks like we will have an October baby after all. I went for my check up this afternoon and left sort of disappointed. I was still 3 cm dilated so the doctor said the same thing, "See you next week, if not before!" Actually the first thing he said when he walked in my room was he was very surprised to see me because he honestly thought I would have already had him by now. (I thought so too with the amount of pressure I have been experiencing!) So my next appointment is next Thursday and we will see if anything has progressed then. Basically Cooper is just sitting in there fattening up. Which is fine with me! I love a fat baby, ha! We did go ahead and schedule a date to induce on October 14th. So we will definitely have Cooper by two weeks no matter what! I am not crazy about induction, but it is only 6 days early and there is a huge possibility Cooper will come before that date. We did this with Lily Grace as well. We set the date for one week early and she ended up coming on her own that morning. I pray something like that happens with Cooper, too because it makes me feel better knowing it was definitely time for him to come. I will continue to keep you updated and thank you all for thinking and praying for us. We love you all!

This past Tuesday I went to the doctor for my 36 week checkup. I was hoping the doctor would tell me something interesting but I figured he would just say "see you next week". Well I was surprised when he made a funny face and said "Uh, Cooper's head is right there and you are already 3 cm dilated! This is amazing because this rarely happens at 36 weeks." Then he said, "I will see you next week at your next appointment if not before. It possibly could be any day now." I knew something was going on with the amount of pressure I have been having. But you never know, Cooper may hold on for a few more weeks. I have heard of lots of women staying at 3 and 4 cm dilated for weeks. So, I guess we will see when I go back for my next checkup on Wednesday. Unless of course he comes earlier :) But we are packed and ready! I had not done hardly anything to prepare for the arrival of our new baby but when I got this news - trust me, we were pretty much all ready the next day! Now we are patiently waiting for our little man. Please pray for a safe delivery and healthy baby. I will keep you all updated when I get the next report. Love you to all!

Last night, a few of my sweet friends gave me a beautiful shower. We got so many wonderful gifts and had a great time. It was so much fun going home and looking through all the cute blue things. I have to get things washed this week and packed up for the hospital because our little man is due in 4 weeks!!!

I can't believe I forgot my camera charger! So I only had these very few pictures from the shower because my camera went dead at the beginning gift opening time! Usually I have two backup cameras and I forgot those, too! There were others at the shower that took pictures so I hope they share with me :)
I told Lily Grace this was a party for Cooper and he needed her to open his gifts. She was excited about that.
Look at those cute little socks!

Last weekend Marty and I took a little trip to the beach so Lily Grace spent the weekend in Berry. They didn't take many pictures but here are a few. She seemed to have had a great time. There is plenty going on at Grandmommy and Pop's to keep her entertained. They said her and Tucker had a blast together. I know I missed her a lot more than she missed me. I talked to her a couple of times everyday and she sounded so grown up on the phone. I can't get over how big she is getting. Thank you all up there in Berry for letting Lily Grace stay with you for a few days! We love you all!
A couple of Fridays ago was Uncle Skyler's first game. They won BIG! Uncle Skyler is a starting linebacker. He did such a great job! We can't wait to go watch him play again. Lily Grace dressed in her new cheer outfit I appliqued for her. She looked too cute. Every time the crowd would clap and cheer, Lily Grace would yell "GO Sky-er!!" She was so excited to watch him but wanted to go out and play football with him on the field :)

Lily Grace and Madelyn.
