A Whole Lotta Somethin'

Some things are finally getting accomplished around here. Not sure why I think it all has to be done in one day. This is Wes's old dresser from when he was little. We're sanding it and repainting it for the nursery. I decided to help Wes out and went out yesterday and gave my arm a workout. Got 3 drawers done, including the painting! Even went & bought new knobs, but they don't fit. Wes has to rig them with washers. Then I tackled some weeding! This patio has been driving me nuts! You can tell how far I got though. I can't kneel b/c of my fall...bruised my knee pretty bad I guess-bout came unglued when I tried...and a fat lady can't bend over very well, so I scooted around on my backside. Good thing we're surrounded by privacy fences. I also planted a few flowers around the little area by the garage. I have high hopes for the back yard, but it probably isn't going to happen this year.

Wes finished sanding the baby bed and I painted it for him. He got the metal parts spray painted last night, so now it is ready to put together. This was my old bed and there were about 4 layers of paint to get through. It took him awhile to do this project. I just hope the mattress fits...he "THINKS" he measured it...if not, he'll be riggin' that too!
I got the letters for Arilynn's name decorated and hung on her wall. For those who haven't heard this name...I made it up! It's Wesley and my middle names combined. Aaron + Lynn = Arilynn Grace Grissom. Now you know her name...
I cannot move today!...well, barely...I'm pretty sure I tried to accomplish a little too much in one day. But, hey!...when things are getting done, I don't like to stop!

A Whole Lotta Nothin'

On Saturday, we had a yard sale at Debbie's house. Mom needed to sell her couch since she bought Nathan & Trish's old one. It was a grand time...NOT! A whole lotta work for a whole lotta nothin'...except a sunburn! Oh well...we did get to spend some time with Jill & Leigh.

This is Wes sportin' my sunglasses. His contact has really been bothering him and it's really not an opportune time when he's driving down the road. His sunglasses were in the garage, so he used mine...not quite his style!

In other news, I'm in mourning! During the move, I've lost some of my maternity clothes and I can't find them anywhere! This is very sad to me as you cannot find decent clothes anywhere! So, I wore my famous outfit that I've only wore for the past 200 Sundays yesterday. Signing off to weep and wail...

Happy Birthday Nancy!

A very happy birthday to my MIL who will probably kill me after she sees this picture:

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...
