Our little girl's room!

Our little girl's due date is quickly approaching, and we are almost finished preparing her room for her. We thought a few pics of her room would be nice to share.

There is still so much to be done in the 5 weeks left. Plus, Mommy will be going back to work in one more week, so gotta keep working. So much to do, so little time.

31 Weeks!

Only 9 weeks to go! Our little girl is getting to be very active. Not only is Daddy Adam able to feel the baby move, but he is able to see it too. Time seems to be going by way too quickly for us. Before we know it, she will be here!

Crib Construction!

As we prepare for our little one to arrive, there seems to be so much to do. Adam and I finally decided on a crib set we both liked. Most of the pieces came pre-assembled, but soon to be Daddy Adam and Uncle Shane were able to share in the fun of piecing the crib together. They both looked like they had everything under control, and it didn't take them very long to finish.

Just look at that craftsmanship!

Here is the finished product. We hope our little one likes what Mommy and Daddy picked out for her.
We can't wait for Baby Girl Turley to arrive! What will our next project be???

Our Family Week of Joy!

Recently, our family was able to come together to celebrate the joyous wedding of my sister Raleigh to Shane Holland. The event turned out to be so memorable for the happy couple, along with our family who was able to be a part of it. We are so lucky to get another wonderful brother-in-law added to our family!

Despite very swollen feet, my hubby and I were still able to get all dressed up and enjoy the celebration!

It was at a beautiful location called the Windmill. The reception was held inside this old barn. Everything looked gorgeous!

Towards the end of the reception, Adam and his friend Ian got a little restless. They figured out how get the flash to go off on the disposable cameras without taking a photo. They seemed to really think this was funny. I guess boys will be boys!

Throughout the week, we were able to enjoy some much needed rest and relaxation with the family. The Meyer Family left to go home on Thursday, but before they left we were able to get some fun memories squeezed in. Here are some cute pics of Jack enjoying the chaos of our family and also the swimming pool.

We know boys aren't big fans of pink, but the pink floaty toy was actually a gift from Adam's mom for our new baby girl that will be coming in September. I don't think she will mind that her cousin borrowed it. He seemed to really enjoy floating around, despite the color. We can't wait to get our little girl in the pool!

The Morgan family left to fly home to North Carolina on Saturday. Friday night we were able to enjoy one last family night at Uncle Nick and Aunt Katie's house.

Ben and Luke loved playing blocks with Uncle Adam and Aunt Reagan.

They loved watching them come crashing down too!

It is always sad to see family go after a week of fun. We miss them and look forward to the next time we can all be together.

Our sweet injured kitty!

As many of you already know, we are big animal lovers in the Turley household. As you can see here, even the Turley animals have grown to accept and love each other. In a previous post, we described all of our furry little friends in detail. Towards the end of the post, we talked about our recent two kittens (Tobias and G.O.B. or "Job") and how we were hoping to find a good home for them. As you can see, we have given that search up. Although 5 cats are a handful, each one brings so much to our household.

Our kitten G.O.B. (yes, it is pronounced Job like in the Bible) loves to climb. When Adam was repainting our bedroom, we had a hard time keeping him off the ladder, as you can see. Unfortunately, G.O.B. didn't know that he shouldn't be playing with ladders when they aren't secure. Last Tuesday, G.O.B. climbed the ladder while it was leaning against the wall, and it came tumbling down on his hind legs. Right away, we knew that he was seriously injured from the extremely heavy ladder. We took him to the vet and when the X-rays came back...the vet did not sound very hopeful. He had fractured his right hip socket and they weren't sure if there were any other injuries not visible to the scan. They recommended that we go to get a consult with an animal specialist to better see our options. Luckily, the specialist was hopeful that G.O.B. only needed this single surgery that our own vet could preform. The surgery consisted of removing the socket part of the hip, and letting scar tissue grow around it to support his weight. We were able to bring him home on Thursday night. Most of our pets would not leave his side.

We eventually had to place the cone around his head because he would not leave his pain patch alone. It was so sad to see him in this state. However, despite how bad he looked, his spirits were exceptionally high. Maybe it was just the wonderful pain meds :-) Or maybe it was because he was thankful he had just made it through one of his nine lives successfully. Either way, we were thrilled to think that we were not going to have to put our 7 month old kitty to sleep.

Since then, G.O.B. has found comfort in the small things on his road to recovery. Here he is stowed away in our nephew's car seat. We almost thought they were going to have to leave it with us since he found so much comfort in it. Once his stitches come out in a few days, Adam and I will be working some of his leg muscles in some basic kitty physical therapy. We never imagined we would be doing that! We are just thankful that he is on the mend and that he is almost back to his old self. We just hope he has learned his lesson with ladders :-)

All dressed up for Prom!

Last night, we had the opportunity to chaperone Washington High School's Prom (where Reagan works). It is always fun to see the kids all dressed up. We also had an excuse to get dressed up as well. Here is a shot of Reagan at 21 weeks. Her belly is beginning to show. She has felt Baby Girl Turley kick a few times, and looks forward to when Adam can feel the baby as well.

WE ARE HAVING A LITTLE GIRL!

Today we had our wonderful ultrasound appointment. Not only were we able to find out the gender of our little one, but also we saw very detailed photos of many different anatomy parts. It was so exciting for Adam and I to sit there and watch our precious little girl come alive with such vivid pictures! She didn't make it easy though. The technician had to work really hard to get all the shots she needed to make sure everything was growing the way it should be. Here are a few of the shots. She is already looking to have a round face like her mother.

Here is where you can slightly see her feminine parts, or the absence of male parts. :-)

Here you can see all four chambers of the heart. They had photos showing the blood flow. They spent a lot of time on this organ, since it is the most important.

Here we have a slight glimpse of the arm. She kept moving it in front of her heart which blocked some of the photos.

Here is a foot. She was stretching that over her head, so I guess we have a very flexible baby.

She kept putting her back to the camera, so we got some great photos of her spine.

Here is a 3D image of her face. Because she is still so young, her face hasn't filled in very much. It is jut so amazing to see our little one's face for the first time. God has truly blessed us!

We are at 20 weeks, so we have hit the half way mark. The time seems to be going by so quickly. We are anxiously awaiting the arrival of our daughter, but are content in waiting for God's perfect timing.
