Just what you DON'T want to hear...

What you DON’T want to hear from your obstetrician…

“Wow!  Who has the big head in your family?!”

We had another doctor’s appointment today and luckily we got to have another sonogram!  We’re 6 ½ months in, and it’s been so neat to “watch” her grow.  Believe it or not I am carrying a BIG baby!  She is measuring big and ahead of her due date!

Adam had been a little worried that they were going to tell us that they were wrong last time, and she wasn’t a girl.  But lucky for Adam, she’s still a SHE!  Good thing since this is what he did recently….

A Little Progress...

Adam has been chomping at the bit to get the nursery ready, so this weekend we made a little progress.  Luckily our glider came in about 8 weeks sooner than expected so we Adam got that placed into the room.   

Then we framed two prints we wanted in her room.  One is a prayer that was in my room as a child and the other is lyrics to Bob Marley’s “3 Little Birds”.   

Finally, Adam painted her monogram that we ordered for above her bed, and it looks AMAZING!

Next weekend I’m sewing the curtains and then all we need is the bedding, which we special ordered and will be in in about a month!

It’s looking more like a nursery!

Our gift...

I received one of the most precious gifts from Adam today.  When I got home from work he had a beautiful gift waiting for me.  It was a beautiful pearl necklace and a card with the most thoughtful message to me.   

Mommy and Marley's Necklace

Then he had also written a beautiful note to Marley.  In it he explained that he had given this necklace to her “mommy” when she was pregnant with her, but now it was hers to wear on her wedding day.  I cannot believe how lucky I am to have him not only has a best friend and husband, but a daddy for Marley!

I love you Adam!

A Special Delivery...

Today Marley received her very own package in the mail!  

Marley's First Box!

 As much as I wanted to open it I waited patiently on Adam to get home.  Adam’s Aunt Penny had sent the most adorable hooded towel and burp cloths with her name monogrammed on them! 

Marley's Towel!

 We are so very thankful for our families and all they are doing for Marley!  Thank You Penny!!

Marley Scout Cain

It’s a GIRL!  She is beautiful! 

 Marley Scout Cain

 I think Adam and I were both in a little shock when the doctor told us she was a girl.  We both had just assumed we would be having a boy.  

 

 It's a girl!

Everything was perfect!  We got to see all 4 chambers of her heart working perfectly, all the sections of her brain were developing perfectly!  The measured her little bones and she is measuring exactly 18 weeks; so right on target.

A foot!

 

A little chicken leg!

Boy, GIRL, are we in trouble!
