Technical Difficulties

No – I have not been ignoring my blog, quite the opposite actually! I’ve been dying to do a post on all the fabulous baby showers, new pictures of the nursery and of course show off my 34 and 35 week belly but I CAN’T!!! Our computer is dead…D-E-A-D. My dear husband plans on taking it in this week to get fixed so hopefully I can update with some pictures soon! Not to mention last week my doctor went ahead and scheduled me for a C-Section last week so I have lots to catch up on!

I might try to sneak a post with pictures in at lunch one day...we'll see! I only have 17 days of work left...Yippee let the count down begin :)

Nursery Sneak Peak!!!

Let me start off by saying the nursery is no where near complete but we did get it painted and the furniture put together so we are heading in the right direction! I absolutely LOVE how it is turning out! It is completely different than I imagined. Funny how you change your mind on so many things once you actually get pregnant!! The nursery all started with the fabric for the chair and it just kind of went from there. The only major issue we had was picking the color of the furniture. I wanted white Grant wanted dark or black so we ended up going with espresso. I love it!

Here is the room all cleared out and all of Grant's stuff off the walls. This is what we started with!

This is after the panelling (not sure what you would call it) was put up. You can see Greta's butt in the bottom of this picture - ha!

This was right after the painters - I love the color!!!! It is a very light oatmeal!



The bookcase will go between these two windows!

Sorry this pic is so crappy it was taken with my Iphone. Here is the dresser. We are actually using this as the changing table as well!

My favorite part of the room!! I love his glider and his monogrammed pillow makes my heart happy ;)

Here is the crib. Not sure if you can see the bedding but it is VERY simple. White with green trim. His sheets are polka dot. The table to the right will NOT stay in the nursery. Grant was using it to hold his ipod speakers while he was putting the furniture together. Also his golf clubs you see in the right corner of the picture will be gone as well ;)

I wanted something very simple and very calming!

Remember - this is just a sneak peak. We are still waiting on curtains, bookcase, things for the walls and I'm replacing the ceiling fan with a light fixture. Lots of stuff to do but so exciting! I know that the room is more for the parents than the baby and he isn't going to care if it is complete or not....blah blah....I care and I hope I can get it just the way I want it before Mac decides to make his appearance!

Once we are finished I will post the final product!

33 Weeks!!

I know I say this every week but I can't believe how FAST time is flying by!! This little man will be here in less than 43 days! My heart literally skips a beat when I think about it!! Mac is about the size of a honeydew and weights around 4-5 lbs or so the website says. I can tell that he is quickly running out of room. Instead of the big time kicks I now feel and see lumps form on my stomach. I'm guessing he is stretching and trying to reposition himself, it's getting tight in there!!!

Also I realized after rereading my last post that I never posted my 32 week picture - idiot! So I have added both my 32 and 33 week pic below! I got back to the doc next Wed for my 34 week appointment. I'm looking forward to seeing my regualr doctor!!

32 weeks -

33 weeks -

As you can tell from the pictures the nursery has changed - I will post a sneak peak of the nursery next ;) I LOVE IT!

Big Catch Up Post!

Mac and I celebrated 32 weeks yesterday! We had another ultrasound to see if he had moved and our little stubborn boy is still butt down and head up :) Oh well, he does have time to move but he is running out room so if he is going to flip he needs to do it in the next two weeks!!!! Other than him sitting breech we had a great doc appointment! He is growing just like he should and is measuring right on time! We even got to see him practicing his breathing!!! I still feel pretty good at 32 weeks. I can tell I’m starting to get a little tired at the end of the day but other than that not much to complain about. As you can tell from the pictures I am certainly growing!!!!


I hate that I passed 30 and 31 weeks with no blog post, however I do have pictures! We celebrated 30 weeks at the beautiful Ritz Carlton in Naples, FL. Grant was invited down to spend the week by one of his carriers b/c he is pretty awesome. I don’t brag on him enough but I’m one lucky girl!! He did a whole lot of golfing and I did a whole lot of relaxing at the spa and/or the pool. It was FABULOUS! Exactly what I needed before all the craziness begins with showers, nursery stuff, etc.

Grant sinking a putt during the ACE Classic Pro-Am. I was very proud of him! After his round we had lunch in the club house and a lady commented on how great his putt was at 18. It was sweet!

31 weeks - don't worry our nursery no longer looks like this! Nursery pictures coming soon!



Speaking of nursery stuff... ours FINALLY got painted AND we picked up/put together our furniture. Well that is not completely true... We were very lucky to have some great friends help us out. Katie and Ryan meet us at Koo Koo Bears to help load up the furniture, move it upstairs and then put it together. THANKS KATIE AND RJ – Y’ALL ARE THE BEST! I'm still waiting on some stuff I ordered to hang on the wall and for his bookcase but it is coming together. I love how it is turning out it is so calm and relaxing, hopefully it will rub off on Mr. Mac!

I have more catch up posts planned this week! I had my first baby shower last Saturday in Warner Robins and I have another one this Sunday! Not to mention we had not one but TWO 4/D ultrasounds b/c our little guy was being shy (stubborn). He is one handsome little boy!!! I also have a big nursery post planned! Lots of fun stuff coming up and I will be one busy girl! It’s hard to believe that we only have 8 weeks left!!! I am going to be better about updating b/c I want to document everything that is going on right now. I feel like it will all be over in a flash and I’m not going to lie it kind of makes me sad. I like having a constant companion ;)

Sorry for the super long post - that is what happens when you don't post in over a week!
