Hold you in my Arms

Your daddy has been finding songs to sing for you already. This one is one of my favorites and I'm sure will be on the iPod Lullaby playlist...

Hold you in my arms - Ray LaMontagne

When you came to me with your bad dreams and your fears
It was easy to see you'd been crying
Seems like everywhere you turn catastrophe it reigns
But who really profits from the dying
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever

When you kissed my lips with my mouth so full of questions
My worried mind that you quiet
Place your hands on my face
Close my eyes and say
That love is a poor man's food
Don't prophesize
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever
And I could hold you in my arms
I could hold you forever

So now we see how it is
This fist begets the spear
Weapons of war
Symptoms of madness
Don't let your eyes refuse to see
Don't let your ears refuse to hear
Or you ain't never going to shake this sense of sadness
I could hold you in my arms
I could hold on forever
And I could hold you in my arms
I could hold on forever

34 Week Appointment

We got to see you on Wednesday, Marley. This was the only shot we were able to get of your pretty little face. My mum, your nan, says you've got your daddy's nose. I kind of agree. But you've got your mum's camera shyness. You had your feet and hands covering your face for the rest of the sonogram and there was no way you were moving them.You're on the little side measuring at 4lbs 10oz and in the 28th percentile. Nothing to worry about though! But mummy's tummy keeps on growing...here it is at 34 weeks.

We're getting closer to being ready for you to be here too. We've ordered the rocking chair/recliner that's to go in the nursery and it should be here in a couple of weeks. Only need to work on the curtains. Some wonderful people from our church and your Daddy's work are throwing us a shower in two weeks. 

We've also started taking the classes so we can be as prepared as we can for the day you decide to make you're arrival. Only 5-6 weeks until you'll be joining us and everyone can't wait to meet you.
