We went to the dr today and they confirmed baby is a girl. The dr said she looked “great”!!! She is right on track and weighs 14oz!! I was so happy to hear the great news!! Thank you GOD!!
With that news here is baby girl cain’s official name
Matt and I have loved the name Avery forever. We talked about it well before we were married and still love it!! Malynn, pronounced Muh-lynn is a combo name. The “Ma” is from our grandmother’s – 2 Mary’s, Malinda, and Martha. The “Lynn” is from our mother’s Lynda and Linda. We cant wait to meet our “little Avery” as Matt calls her!! Thanks for all the prayers you have sent our way!!

This weekend we went camping with some friends at Turner Falls in OK. We normally stay Friday and Saturday night but decided to only stay one night (Saturday) due to the pregnancy. We were worried about me sleeping in the cold and getting sick. We were right to be concerned because it was COLD!! I woke up at 13o and almost went and slept in the car w/ the heater on but decided I would try and figure out a way to get warm. I finally did and went back to sleep. Below are some of my favorite pictures. Tomorrow we are taking the day off and we have the anatomy scan ultrasound where they check all of the babies organs and take measurements to make sure she is growing correctly. If you could say a quick prayer for her we would greatly appreciate it. We are also hoping they can confirm “she” is a girl!!!

I feel like A&M beating Texas Tech aka the Techtards is worthy of a post. Last night Matt and I sat down to listen to the game fully expecting to get blown out. Low and behold we scored, and scored, and scored again and ended up winning the game! 52-30!! Matt was over the moon! I havent seen him this happy since I told him I was pregnant. I know that may sound bad but he LOVES A&M football and the last few years have made it hard to be an Aggie.
Of course I cant post w/o mentioning the baby. She is still doing good and kicking away. We go back on Nov 2nd for the anatomy scan and hopefully she is still growing and healthy. Im also hoping they can confirm she is a girl. We have pretty much decided on a name but I will keep you in suspense for a few more weeks!!

So I still havent decided about the swine flu shot and if I should get it or not. There is quite a bit of controversy and I’m concerned it hasnt been tested enough on pregnant women. I also found out it has mercury which is a no-no for pregnant women. I wish there was an easy answer. On one hand I know I am in the group that is most recommended to get it since I am pregnant but on the other I dont want to risk it hurting the baby. Im also scared that taking it will make me sick since the only time I have taken the flu shot I have gotten the flu. To top it off I am having to travel for work and being on an airplane is one of the best places to catch illnesses. I’m very torn… Right now I am leaning against not taking it. Hope that isnt a mistake!

We found out on Friday we are having a baby girl!!! Needless to say we are thrilled. I already love her so much!! We had a 3/d ultrasound done and the tech was VERY confident that baby is a girl. I cant stop smiling. I went to College Station on Saturday and bought her some Aggie gear. We also bought her furniture yesterday that I posted a few weeks ago. Without further ado here are some pics of our baby girl!
I also went to the Austin County Fair last weekend and saw some old friends. It was good to catch up and hang out!
Amber, me, and Amy
Fun girls
Love her!
Amy’s baby Owen who turned two today!

I think I may have felt the baby today!!! CRAZY!!! It felt like little spasms but that is what they say they feel like. I only felt it once or twice so we’ll see if it continues!! YAY for baby growing, kicking, and moving!!!

Tomorrow we may find out if baby Cain is a boy or a girl!!! WOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! We are SUPER excited. I have also picked out some of the baby stuff. I think I know what baby furniture we will get which can be used for all of our *future* kids regardless of gender. I have also picked out the bedding depending on the gender. I have some picks below so your feedback and advice is always welcomed! Thanks and please say a prayer that Baby Cain is still growing and healthy!!!
Crib – found it at JCPenney. We will get all of the furniture in white but the photos online are in cherry so you will have to use your imagination!
Dresser – Will be white
Changing table – again will be white. Now I ask all the Moms out there – I think the open concept will be better than the changing table w/ drawers. Do you have an opinion or any advice?
Baby Girl Bedding – Found it at Pottery barn kids. I plan on decorating her room the same, especially since the walls are already painted a sage green. Her name wont be Katie but you get the idea.
Boy bedding – Daddy wants the room to be a sports theme. I’m not in love w/ this like I am the girls but I think it’s pretty cute and I want Matt to feel like he has some say… Im such a good wife!
We still have a lot to pick out but this is a start!!! BTW I am 17 weeks and will be 4 months pregnant tomorrow. I cant believe it!!!
