A Week of Milestones

Big week for Marlo!!!


In my post earlier in the week, I mentioned it was a week of importance for several reasons.  I touched on just a couple of things, but saved the biggest for this post.  :)

Monday marked Marlo's 6 month of life outside the womb!  Holy Cow!  Six Months, already?  That is so amazing to me.  I cannot believe we have come to this time, and I can't really remember how I got here.  It's been a bit of a blur.  The days have zoomed by leaving me in a state of shock that it's NOVEMBER.  I am so far behind in the things I normally have accomplished by now, (like Christmas shopping) I feel a little overwhelmed by it.

We started the week off with a photo shoot, (some of which I shared in a previous post.) and an uncooperative Marlo.  I could not put her down long enough to snap any pictures without her screaming.  She is a very happy baby 99.99% of time, but that .01% reared it's ugly head on Sunday.  :)  We were able to get a couple sweet pictures of her, in between her cries for cuddles. 

She rolled over this week!  Okay, she was on my bed, so I don't know if it actually counts?  She was on her tummy and pushed up and rolled to her side.  I think I will count it.  It's a pretty big deal! 

Now I've saved the BEST for last:

Miss Marlo was officially outside of my womb as long as she was inside, this past Wednesday.
26 weeks and 5 days!   Miraculous?  Yes!  Truly a Miracle to thank God for!  We are so blessed and thankful for her.

Look at this!

Two days old.  Less than 1 pound 11 ounces! 

26 weeks since being born: 10 pounds 6 ounces! 

My heart is so full.  She has brought more healing than I could have ever imagined.  Thank you, Lord for this precious little gift.  We are forever grateful.

Big week indeed!
