NOT How I Had My Day Planned

Well, we had a little scare today! I went to the doctor today to make sure everything was OK after I tripped over a dumb cord yesterday! (Hardwood floors do nothing for shielding a fall). She hooked me up to a monitor and 20 mins. later came in and said I was going to the hospital. The baby's heartbeat had dropped really low and I was to go and get checked out. To make a long, boring story short, the baby and I are fine! I was hooked up to another monitor and given an ultrasound and they said everything looks great! So, no Baby Grissom will be entering the world today.
I do have a question...They said I'm at 34 1/2 weeks now! Am I not supposed to be moving further along and not behind? Does she not have to come out eventually?

Happy 2nd Anniversary!

My Craving

I have not had any "crazy" cravings with this pregnancy...thank goodness! I LOVE ice cream though! Not just any kind, but Breyers Rocky Road (wonder if I could get some kind of endorsement for advertising). Wesley has been a wonderful dear in always making evening runs to Wal-Mart to stock up. He always dips it for me too! However, I don't just eat the ice cream, I have to have milk in it and stir it up like a milkshake. Yummy! Sadly, last night he came home with cookies and cream. The other wasn't on sale, but I think he was secretly excited because that's his favorite. Sigh...it just wasn't the same.

So far, this pregnancy has been very easy. I haven't had any morning sickness and no crazy cravings. Wouldn't even know I'm pregnant except the "massiveness" in front of me. HA! Oh...and the serious mood swings! Good grief...who knew you could cry over someone you didn't know on the radio! Hopefully, labor will go just as smooth! The doctor's date for me is now Sept 1st (thought it ironic that it's Labor Day), but I'm in denial and still sticking to the first date I was told-Aug 26th. It sounds so much better. Besides, I'm already about to pop! Still, lots to do before she gets here.

Blonde Roots

My blonde roots have been seriously coming alive during this pregnancy!!!

Wes has been outside working on the baby bed, but you can't see him from the window. Since it's cool, we've had the windows open and I decided to whistle at him. I did it a couple of times and then I noticed a neighbor man standing on his porch smoking. Then it dawned on me...Wesley's not even here! He went to Wal-Mart for more sandpaper. Hopefully, my whistle wasn't that loud!

The other day I had an appointment, so I got up and fixed our lunch in the crockpot. Pretty impressed that I was ambitious, I left for my appointment. When I got home, I realized I hadn't even plugged the dumb thing in!

I'm hoping I don't just go downhill from here...

Another pic...

Here's another picture for all my "fans" (or should I should I say "fam") out there.
(WOW! 15 seconds to load...amazing! Pardon this "technology-awed" woman...)

YEE-HAW!

This is one very excited pregnant woman who just got high-speed instead of caveman internet! It's amazing how fast this thing goes...

By the way, going shopping with your sis-n-law is dangerous to your wallet! But, we had a whole lot of fun yesterday...I finally got to go to Greenwood!

Gotta go get some work done! Baby is quickly coming...

Just noticed...

My countdown...35 weeks down and 35 days to go! Wow, do I have a lot of stuff still to do!

Sunday Walk

34 Weeks

Yesterday, Wes and I visited the Irwin Gardens for the first time since living here. (I think that's what it's called). It was a nice, quiet, peaceful, HOT walk...We live only about a block from it. Maybe when it cools down we'll revisit.

Kitchen Curtains

I realize I haven't posted exciting things here lately, but nothing else is going on! Just waiting on Baby Grissom and then that's all that will be posted for awhile. :)

I did get my kitchen curtains made.

Sign above window: Pardon the Mess, It's the Maid's Day Off

Wes is working overtime today. We went "window" shopping this morning and worked on the yard. Kinda hot for that...

More Pics

I like being able to walk to the library! It took me only 5 mins to get here...that's even waddling!! (Just think if I were in shape!) Here's some more pictures for the family and whoever else wants to see them...

Things aren't done in these photos...
So far this is what they look like...

Corner in the dining room

Another corner in the dining room (in case you haven't figured it out, I think this is going to be our overflow room). At our last castle, I had a room all to myself for my scrapbook stuff! I had to do some serious down-sizing.

Kitchen...I'm really wanting to take a trip to Old Time Pottery and Flower Factory!!! I'm having to sit on myself!!!

Bathroom-This room is tiny, but hey! we don't live in there...hopefully...

We also planted some flowers in the front, but we were probably too late. Our baby girl's room is a disaster! It's kinda depressing to go in, so I haven't got started on that yet. It's going to be a job and I want it to be just right!

I also made some cards for ebay! Gotta keep my sanity...

Maybe this will give me some "mad" money for shopping at those two stores!

Living Room

Here's more pictures for you, Grandma...
I think we have the living room mostly set up. We worked on unloadling Wesley's library/bookstore today!! Good grief that man has a lot of books! Now I'm trying to make a scrapbook corner...oh boy!
Note to self: Put the throw on the recliner right side up when I get home.

We've Moved

Wow! What a huge job it is to move! Not much fun, but it's over with!!! Thanks to everyone who came and helped and those who said they would have helped if we had let them known :) ...we did it very spur of the moment! Rachel E. and Debbie pretending like their working...

Our biggest helpers, of course! I took a picture of a living room corner that I have done, but for some reason my camera has been taking pictures and then deleting them! That's NOT GOOD! Haven't got much done today...went back to the old house and scrubbed! Fun, fun, fun...as I cannot get down to do so. Wes was a HUGE help!!!!!! He did a lot of work! Now, I need to change addresses and transfer things! That really sounds like a knee-slappin' good time!

Congratulations!

Congrats to our good friends Micheal and Rachel Edwards!!! They are expecting another baby boy!!! She's 5 1/2 months along and still looks like a toothpick...SIGH...

Their daughter kinda slipped and told me a few months back, but her mommy and daddy ignored me when I asked if she was tellin' tales. So, I kept my mouth shut until they admitted it tonight! Ha! I knew she let the cat out of the bag...

Our New Abode

We finally found a house to rent! Praise the Lord! It's been like pulling teeth, especially since the flood!!! It's either been; they STINK (literally), the Landlord's retarded (I guess mentally challenged might sound better), or the rent is $2,000 (kinda not our price range)!

A HUGE thanks goes to Sis. Stetler, mom's pastor's wife. She called her nephew, Jeff Finke-a realtor, and found us a place. It's an older home, but has lots of character and will do quite nicely for us simple folk.

This is my favorite part!!! It's in the dining room.

Need some weed killer or a goat! (Back yard)

Just finished setting up the gas and electric...that was sooo not fun! They only asked about a million questions! So, it looks like I'm going to be busy for awhile! Lots of cleaning, scrubbing, and last minute packing. I'm off to go sniff some Lysol...j/k!

Spa Treatment

Tonight, I went to a spa party with a couple of ladies from church. It was fun and relaxing, but I was disappointed!...I didn't walk away beautiful like I'd so hoped for. :)

(Perhaps Sheila will post her pictures and I can steal them! I'm sure there are some dandies!)

Countdown

50 days to go!!!!!!!!

Bzzy, bzzy weekend!

We made a quick trip to Illinois over the weekend to help Nathan and Trish move. (I know they couldn't have done it without my help! HA! I was able to waddle a few things into their new house!) Congrats on owning your own home! We really liked it and are looking forward to all your ideas!!...of course, we made time to take a trip to Daisy Lane...best scrapbook store I've ever been to! (That's saying a lot!)

On our way home, Wesley wanted to stop at some of his favorite antique stores. Thankfully, he didn't buy anything. Goodness knows he doesn't need anymore junk! Since I waddled through with him, we meandered through a scrapbook store with me. Low and behold I didn't get any scrapbook items there either!

I started teaching Jr Church this month...seems like my turn came awfully fast this time! We're doing the Beatitudes, so there are bees everywhere. We didn't go crazy with decorations this time...think we were kinda burnt out after VBS. I must say...I'm taking any volunteers who would like to take my place! I don't know why, but I'm having a very hard time getting into it this month. The kids were awesome today, but I guess I just have too much on my mind! Karen told me that when you're pregnant your brain turns into placenta...think she might be right. Pretty sure the kids left confused! None of my thoughts flowed very smoothly...oh, and my previous principal was the helper. She was probably thinking..."And we hired her to teach kids how to read?"

Wesley starts 2nd shift tomorrow. He seems to think he'll like that better. Don't know if his precious wife will.

Gossip Topics

I would love to tell all you bloggers that I have some earth shattering news...

• We won the lottery without playing (don't worry, we'll tithe...)
• Wesley was named CEO of Cummins, Toyota, and Eli Lilly
• We're having triplets
• We're building a mansion with 10 bedrooms, 5 baths, indoor swimming pool, beautiful gardens, etc.
• We're now driving BMW's
• I invented a cure for cancer

But, alas...I have none! Sigh... So, for all those lurking out there, if you're bored, I have just given you some great gossip topics.

Seriously, what I've been up to...looking at piles of boxes, making songs for school, setting up Jr Church (my turn to teach-Yippee!), selling cards, and going insane!!! The last word there pretty much describes everything!
