YAY!!!!

I am too excited and beyond busy…but I had to take a quick second to express my gratitude to the best Pickle ever. Froggy now has a crib and I am hoping Daddy will put it together tonight so we can make some serious head way with this nursery!!!! I will post pics soon.

He's a BIG boy now!!!

I just got off the phone with Lyric’s school…..and I hate to say it but he really is a big boy now. I mean I know he was growing but it’s kinda sad because my baby is now a big boy. I was nervous about today, because thanks to Me-Maw, Nikita, Papa, and Grandpa G he was able to stay home the summer while he/we got used to the new medications he had to be on..

His 1st day of school was today and Lyric seemed ready. Last night we had a tough time getting little man down. Thank God for Daddy…Tre had to do bedtime duty, because I can’t stand to hear him cry and of course he cries for mommy….which just kills me. But soon enough he was down for the count, and I was able to pick out and iron his clothes for the week. It feels so good to be getting on a schedule, and prayerfully Froggy will come and just fall into place.

Happy 1st Day of School Lyric!!!!!

Progress

We took full advantage of the 3 day weekend we were given and go to work on Casa de Gregory. The room has been painted, and I could not be happy with how it turned out. Tre started it on Thursday and Papa came over to help that evening. By dinner time Thursday the room was starting to take shape. And then on Saturday Papa surprised us and finished up the room repainting all the trim and doors and I think my vision is coming together.

Originally we were doing aqua and orange but after I started to but accents I kept seeing lime green so I went with it…and I am so glad I did. I found a shelf that matches the aqua color perfect as well as some amazing curtains. But not only did we make progress décor wise but functionality as well. I started to re-do the kid’s closet…and it’s still a work in progress but it is happening..

Shower Time

I just saw Froggy’s shower invite and am BEYOND excited. The girls have truly outdone themselves. I started to register for Froggy and I have to admit I started to feel overwhelmed. Since it’s over almost 4 years since Lyric’s shower, majority of the things we had is no longer up to current safety regulations. Not to mention there is sooo much new stuff out.

Letcia and I went out yesterday to BRU and just walked away and talked. It’s sooo nice to hang out with someone who is pregnant and is always ready and willing to talk baby. Letcia has put Froggy and I on a spending freeze until after the shower….but at least we can still window shop. I am going to finally break down and buy a few maternity pieces, pants, jeans and due to my night time shower now a cute pair of pajamas.

2nd Times a Charm....I hope!!!!!!

2nd times a charm I hope!!!!!!!

Well the print I ordered has arrived….and it is pretty darn cute if I say so myself. Tre didn’t get it and immediately wondered why I got something with 4 giraffes. But Lyric who is creative and imaginative like his mommy came running and identified each of the giraffes as a member of our new foursome. Tre looked so confused, and I just smiled…because when I saw the 4 giraffes that’s the first thought that came into my head. What can I say like Mother, like Son.

The special sheets I ordered also came in and I picked out the paint color and it looks so bright and cheery yet modern with the orange chair. LOVE IT!!!!! Papa and Tre are going to paint on Thursday. I think I suckered them into it since I was talking (non-stop) about having to get stuff done while they were trying to watch the game. Finally Papa (a man who can take a hint) turned to Tre and said let me know when you going to paint and I will help you knock it out. Tre who still was caught up in his brownies and the football game failed to answer. So I replied THIS Thursday. Now at that point of course Tre began to pay attention, and all of a sudden he didn’t know what or where we were painting. After a “loving” glance or two he laughed and said okay.

Oh how I LOVE how my hubby gets me!!!

Froggy Notes

At the recommendation of one of my friends who is a writer, I decided to add the little notes I have been writing to Froggy. She thought that people especially Froggy would get a kick out of being able to read them one day….and after thinking about it, it did seem pretty cool.

Dear Froggy...Must you make me appear 2 be so greedy whenever we smell food. I promise I will feed you, no need 2 twist my stomach and kick me so hard me eyes water. I know you like food....I know your growing...but we have got to get you some manners...Lets try to work on this....Love Mommy

August 22nd
Dear Froggy....Thanks so much for working with mommy today. Besides the heartburn you gave me for about 2 hours, you were my perfect little angel. You were so good I was able to get ALL my work done and pick out the paint colors for your and Lyric’s room. Now we just have to get Daddy painting…Thanks Again, Mommy


August 21st
Dear Froggy, please be on your best behavior today and tomorrow...mommy has LOTS of work that has to get done and although we both LOVE lazy weekends, we will spend ours working away at CBN. I hope to squeeze in some naps and good food to make up for our working weekend. Thanks Mommy

Double Digits

I knew this day was coming, but I just thought I would have completed a lot more of my wonderful to do list before it hit. But nope I am officially in my double digits and have NOTHING to show for it. The nursery is still not painted and I have not organized our room yet. I know it’s not really the end of the world or anything…it’s just that in 2 weeks it will be September. Then as I am sure you all know after that comes October and November. So needless to say this pregnant mama is kicking it into fast gear…..well as fast as a woman in her 3rd trimester in the dead of summer can get.

Off to Home Depot I go....
