preparations being made
A few pictures of some random preparations…



hurry up and wait…
I resolved myself months ago to the fact that I wouldn’t know exactly when this little bambino would enter the world; however, the “hurry up and wait” game has become not as fun as I thought it to be originally. I have NEVER claimed to be a patient person so as you can probably tell this has not been easy for me; which means that it has pushed Jamie closer to Sainthood for dealing with me :-) I would just like to meet my little one, hold him and cuddle him- is that too much to ask? I don’t think so…
date night
One goal that Jamie and I set when we got married was to have a weekly Date Night; a night that is just for us. So often, we loose track of what is important in our lives- especially each other and we didn’t want that too happen to us. So, every Sunday since we married we have spent the evening together. Occasionally, we have not been able to keep date night on Sunday, but date night has a rescheduling rule- if we aren’t able to have date night on Sunday we have to intentionally reschedule it for later in the week (or earlier if we know about the conflict ahead of a time). I love Date Night!! We don’t always go out, actually we don’t really go out that frequently but we do spend quality one on one time together, it’s great. Sometimes we make dinner together, sometimes we watch a movie, sometimes we just curl up with a good book together, we have even had date afternoons and spent the afternoon out at the park together. Like I said, it’s great and I love it.
traditional and typical…
Frost, really?
There was frost on my car this morning even after the sun had come up, yup, you heard correctly- frost. Not that I actually had to scrape it off and drive anywhere this frigid morning but my dear hubby did and for this I felt bad. I live in Florida folks and although I have been complaining about it being too hot for say the last 9 months (give or take) this is ridiculous! I would understand if I was in Canada- it’s a given there or even if I was in Hattiesburg- it’s further up North and it snows there every once in a while but we are in Florida where we have palm trees, beaches and the sun always shines. I, me my pregnant self and I, have had the heat on in the house the last few days, have been wearing numerous layers of clothing including socks and slippers and have been consuming warm beverages- what does this tell you? It tells you that with my size right now I probably resemble the Michelin Man and that baby it’s cold outside…
Christmas Tree hunting
Since I am about to take down all of my Christmas decorations (it’s on the list for this week) which means giving the old “heave ho” to the tree I thought that I should post some of the pictures that we took while getting it and putting it up. It was SUCH a great day, I had so much fun spending it with Jamie.

Goodbye 2009, Goodbye Feet…
I blinked and January happened; 2009 in all of it’s glory has passed me by along with the ability to see my feet. Yes, I am sure that this happened a while ago when I was not paying any attention however, just a few days ago I looked down and my toes were gone! I found this terribly amusing when it happened, why I am not really sure…
one special day!
I haven’t been a faithful blogger as of late; however, this day couldn’t go by without mentioning… because today is Nan’s birthday!! She is one of the most beautiful people I know, inside and out, and I am so blessed to be able to call her my friend. I am not sure what my life would be like had I not met her so many years ago; but I am sure that it would not have been half as full as it is with her in it. I love you girl and hope you have a wonderful day!
Forgetful…
I forgot my purse at the Doctor’s office today, yup- walked out, drove home and then realized that I didn’t have it. I know that they say pregnancy can make you forgetful, but really?? The office was really great about it, they held it until I got there and I even shared a laugh with the girl at the front desk regarding my airheadedness. My excuse for forgetting it is going to be that I was too preoccupied with news that everything looks great with our little man (and me too). My blood pressure is great, my weight is right where it should be (or possibly even less), he is measuring right on track, his heartbeat sounded wonderful and I was even able to decipher (with help from our wonderful doctor) which lump was a head, a back and his feet. So much fun… have I mentioned I love him??
