Well, well, well....it's been a long week! I thought that I lost ALL of the pictures I had stored in my computer, including the ones of Lilly's first week! UUGGHH! Thanks to a friend from high school (who happens to work for Google), he was able to help and save the day!! Thanks Aarron!!
Please enjoy the slideshow of Lilly's first week...
OK...so, we induced on Tuesday, October 7, 2008...Lillian Claire Pevzner Downer was born at 5:29pm, weighing in at the surprising weight of 6.10lbs...As per our previous posts and to much surprise of the doctors, we were expecting a "large" baby, like in the realm of 8-9lbs. She is a little peanut!
Will post more later this week...until then...like I said, please enjoy the slideshow of our little angel!

Passing 40 Weeks!!
So, we are due tomorrow....Friday, October 3, 2008 is the day that we have been planning on our daughter coming into this crazy world...
Yesterday, I was sitting the OB's office thinking..."I know she is going to tell me that we are ready to go, that Lilly is ready to be brought into this earthly world today, that I needed to call my husband ASAP because the minor cramping I was feeling were these God awful contractions I have been hearing about, etc...etc....etc...."
What I was actually told was the polar opposite...Lilly has found a nice, warm, snuggley place within me that she is no quite ready to give up. We are no where closer than we were a few weeks ago (which was NOTHING). I think that my OB was feeling sorry for me and said I was dilated a whole cm this trip...not exactly music to my ears. I asked her if I could schedule a c-section for Friday, she grinned and said how about we induce on Tuesday. I almost felt like I was going to have to negotiate to get our daughter out, but being that she is the medical professional and while I can treat a cut with the best of them, I opted for the Tuesday induction. So, there you have it folks...Tuesday, October 7, 2008....Lee and Mindy Downer will officially be PARENTS!! That is, if she does not come out sooner :-)
We ask that everyone please keep us in your prayers as we embark on this new venture...Lillian Claire Pevzner Downer....what a blessing!
Mindy, Lee & Lillian!
