Any day now...I hope

Okay, Chris must have taken 100 pictures for me to find at least 2 to post but I wanted to make sure I had one last pregnacy photo in here of me almost popping. The first is probably the best turn out and the other is just me being a little silly. I'm at the impatient phase especially since I am only a week away from the due date and already have decided I'll probably be late so may as well be happy. I am excited about his arrival but I think I am almost as excited about sleeping comfortably again. For a glimpse of what this shirt once looked like on me and to experience a kind of before and after, check out my post from January 21, 2009.

Grayson's Art

It never hurts to ask! What do I mean? Well, I was teaching in Charlotte several months ago when a participant mentioned she had focused on art when she was in college (a far cry from insurance) so I asked her if she could draw turtles. A few months later and after a few e-mails, when I went back to teach in Charlotte in April she had these water colors for me. I bought both and then took them to Michael's to be framed and matted (thank goodness we landed a really good sale). Anyway, I think my new friend Katie did a great job and I would obviously recommend her if you need an original. =)

Grayson's Room...very close to finish

These were taken at night so they aren't as quality as I would like. We only have a few things that we will be adding: curtains, rug, chair. We are definitely ready to put in the baby. Obviously we'll need to update those pictures when he comes.

Grayson's Room... the beginning

L&D Shower - May 7, 2009

We got a lot of more really great gifts. Did I mention we are running out of "adult space" in our house?!?! I had no idea babies needed so much stuff. Like I said I got a lot of really great gifts and to my relief we'll be able to get Grayson home from the hospital thanks to Ross, Vicky and Tammy who provided a car seat.

Audrey's beautiful quiliting.

Let me explain...I am by no means in denial of my weight gain but the above chipmunk cheek look is due to the He Said/She Said game. Chris answered questions that my friend Tammy had sent and every time my answer did not match his...well, in went a piece of bright blue gum. I was about 50%.

Pace Family Shower - May 2, 2009

We got more really great things and little by little adult space in our house is disappearing.

Chris's Team Shower - April 30, 2009

The beginning of the showers. Chris's team put together a shower and had a lot of yummy food. We got a lot of really great things. It is at this point I begin to realize that such a little person sure does take up a whole lot of space with his stuff.
