Baby Mania

I feel like my brain may explode with all the thoughts, ideas and to-dos when it comes to getting ready for Baby L. My Newcomer's group held our monthly gathering at a children's store full of furniture and accessories. It was very helpful, yet I did leave with sweat on my brow from over stimulation...no joke. Everyone is so nice to giving me their opinion on what I need, what I don't need, where to get this and that, and so on and ahhhhh, Calgon take me away! I love the input and advice but sometimes I want to scream from the information overload.
I could not sleep in the night tonight due to heartburn and my mind racing about what fabric to buy for the bedding. Yes, insane. Anyway, I got out my Babywise book and started reading it, finally. It helped calm me a bit. I am reminded that Baby L could care less if it is sleeping on an towel or in a nice crib with custom bedding made by its Nana....how I nurture that baby, love that baby and pray for that baby is all that matters. Ah, sweet reality. It is so nice to have a dose of it every now and then.


P.S. 2 weeks until we know if Baby L is a prince a princess. What do you think it is? (This is my way of asking you to comment and promote reader participation here on our quaint little blog)

I have been a reader of your blog for a long time, but haven't commented. I had heart burn and indigestion with my daughter. I teach school and one day I went to the nurse because I wanted her to check my blood pressure. I told her about the heart burn and indigestion I was having. She told me that the baby just had a full head of hair and that is what was causing my discomfort. I thought this must be an old wive's tale. You know what? My daughter was born with a full head of hair. Ha! It can be so overwhelming looking at baby things. When you find out if the baby is a boy or girl, that will help.

I think it's a boy. I have no idea why, but that's just what I've imagined ever since you announced your pregnancy! Hope you get some good rest and relaxation soon!

It will be a girl. I had a vision that Samuel, Daniel, and David were playing football and two girls, Anna and another little beauty, were on the sideline cheering. The other one had to be little "BOBITA LEE".

I'm guessing girl, and I think she will look as beautiful as you.

Should you have a boy..I'm going to say he will be a handsome sweet boy that looks like you too.

I'm enjoying following your pregnancy through the blog. Wish we could have met before I left Arkansas :(

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
