Latest Doctor Appt

Things are looking good on the pregnancy front. I know I've mentioned this before, but apparently, my doc things Marin is going to be significantly bigger than Cade. As in, she may be 8 to 8.5 lbs. Which I actually prefer as far as newborns go... I have friends who have had 8+ pound babies and they just seem a bit less puny and sleep and eat better and stuff... so all sounds fine by me!

The biggest news is that "unless I go into labor on my own in the next 2 weeks, I'll be induced." So, ladies and gentlemen, that means by May 1, we're probably gonna have our new baby, Marin Anne!

I have a baby shower today that my best bud Amber is giving me. Should be a fun affair. I don't know how I got so lucky as to swing a shower with baby #2, but hopefully people will just come with smiling faces to visit and not fuss with gifts. We have all we need... course, most of it's blue... :) Amber told people it was a "diaper and wipe" shower, so hopefully I'll get stocked up with those consumables.

David is excited that the school year is winding down. Marin comes, then he gets summer vacation! How wonderful is that!!??? He'll be home to help me all summer with a baby and a toddler. Hopefully we'll all survive. We have several banquets and dinners we've gone to and are going to to honor David's Teacher of the Year award for Duncanville. It's been really nice. There's a big one in Waxahachie to honor all the Teacher of Year noms on April 30... Marin will either be coming the next day or I'll probably still be in the hospital... I told David he has to go no matter what, though. The only reason he can't is if I'm literally in labor or pushing. Other than that, I think he should be there. So we'll see.

Have a great Sunday! And see below for bluebonnet pix... I posted that just a few mins ago... so the post below is new, too.

Hey Brooksie -- It is so fun to share grandparent stories with your Mom & Dad. We are incredibly blessed to have your family as friends! May God bless you & Marin in the next few weeks as she is born into a wonderful Christian family. By the way, tell David to ask for a BIG raise as Teacher Of The Year. He deserves it.

Hey man, Jason's sister-n-law just popped out a 9.5 pounder. Apparently the Chism's breed 'em big. I'm a little scared, I'm not gonna lie!
