7 Months and Counting

7 months

Well, here I am. I am a little late on this month's update. I am starting to look a bit swollen and tired. I can't get my wedding ring on unless it is late in the day and I have had lots of water. Odd. I swell in the mornings the worst. My feet swell the worst at night...but they are not too bad yet.The curls are back alot these days. I never know what my hair is going to want to do. My nails are growing strong and look really good again. They had a weak spurt. Henry is an active little fellow and often surprises me/shocks me with his sharp moves. Bending over is a challenge by the afternoon on most days. Randall is out of town more for his new job, so when I dropped my magazines off the bed one night last week....well they stayed there until the next morning and I just settled for the TV instead! I am starting to get that "poor Abby" look and giggle when I walk in a room, meeting, etc. I also get that "are you sure you are due in December and not October?" argument from random people who I have never met. I have had 2 wonderful baby showers thus far and am feeling blessed and loved for sure. Henry's room is under construction and looks better everyday. Randall laughs because he said we have not put this much thought in any other room in this house...so true! We are gitty about meeting our boy. Randall talks to him a lot and sings goofy songs. He loves it when his Daddy says in a high pitched voice "Hey Buddy,you want to go trick or treating?!"..he goes crazy inside of me. It is the funniest thing. Well, I could go on and on, but I will refrain. Thank you for praying for my health and for Henry's health. Also, thank you for praying for Randall's safe travels during harvest. We appreciate it more than you know!

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
