Proof Positive

In the coming days I will update you on my pregnancy by sharing my journal entries from the past month.

Tonight I found out that I am pregnant!
We started praying about starting a family last month and God blessed us real quick. I bought a pregnancy test today at Walmart, while running errands. I had a weird feeling something was going on with me and needed to find out if it was a baby. I came home from work with a terrible head cold and was super tired. I was excited about my 4 pound weight loss that week and was determined to keep on losing for bathing suit weather. So much for carrying out that plan! I took the test after dinner. I was certain I was overreacting but took it anyway. It proved positive before I had time to pull it out from under me. No 3 minute wait time needed! I don’t think I even washed my hands before I bolted down the hallway, through the kitchen and through the den to Randall's garage. I held up the test, looked him straight in the eye and said, "I'M PREGNANT!" He had the calmest look of shock on his face, as he stared back at me. He then said," I'm not surprised, I'm good like that." 1 shot was all it took and he scored. He had right to be proud. I was. I began to cry as my mind filled itself with a million thoughts and fears. We both stayed pretty calm for the rest of the night, soaking up the reality of it all. We played Wii the rest of the night. I became a pro bowler and beat Randall pretty bad. It was a monumental night.
I am calling Dr. Curry's office tomorrow to make my 8 week appointment to confirm all of this and start the journey to parenthood. We have been married for 6 years and 2 months as of today, April 8, 2009. We have built a strong foundation for Baby L. Randall says he knows Baby L. is a boy because he only makes boys. We shall see about that!

A Blind Date & Leaving Comments

8 years ago today I met this sweet man in the picture above. We met on a blind date in the Bluff City (aka- Memfrica). He and I were simply going out to shut up his stepmother and my sister, who had decided that we were meant to be together from one simple fridge photo and a dog named Abby. Little did we know they would be able to pat themselves on the back for the rest of their lives . I am so glad we both agreed to go out for that one date on New Years Eve 2001 because I have had him in my life everyday since that crazy night at my cousin Hollye's back door when he arrived to pick me up to find a baby on my hip that he thought was mine. I remember those beautiful blue eyes and how they about popped out of his head as he stood at the door wondering why no one had mentioned my child. That baby on my hip was Claire. She was 1 then and had just gone number 2 in her diaper right before he rang the bell. She had Styrofoam all over her and me from playing in Christmas boxes. Needless t

All Aboard The Birthday Polar Express

  Can you believe Henry Patton will be 4 years old tomorrow?! Neither can we. We celebrated his birthday last weekend with his first all boy party, polar express style. I had so much fun preparing for it, as you can probably tell! My mother who is never at a loss for words said it looked like Polar Express threw up in my house. She was SO right and we loved it! We had a breakfast pajama party with 7 three and four year old boys. It was such a fun time.   I had his pajamas monogrammed with a train and his name. He loved them and I liked how they sort of looked like the ones on the movie. Henry loved all the bells I had everywhere. There is no doubt we believe at this house. We had the jingle loud and proud!   I had his invitation made from a shop on Etsy and I was very pleased with them. One of his little friends came to the door ready for me to punch his ticket. It was so cute. I ran to get a hole punch and punched it for him. Every good party has to have go

Pedicure Pledge

Just a friendly reminder, it's that time of the year again. Please raise your big toes and repeat after me: As a member of the Sandal Sisterhood, I pledge to follow The Rules when I wear sandals and other open-toe shoes: I promise to always wear sandals that fit. My toes will not hang over and touch the ground, nor will my heels spill over the backs. And the sides and tops of my feet will not pudge out between the straps. I will go polish-free or vow to keep the polish fresh, intact and chip-free. I will not cheat and just touch up my big toe. I will sand down any mounds of skin before they turn hard and yellow. I will shave the hairs off my big toe. I won't wear pantyhose even if my misinformed girlfriend, coworker, mother, sister tells me the toe seam really will stay under my toes if I tuck it there. If a strap breaks, I won't duct-tape, pin, glue or tuck it back in to place hoping it will stay put. I will get my shoe fixed or toss it. No matter how much it hurts. I will
