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.

August 23rd
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....

Rev's House

Grandpa G is in the house for the week and Lyric is BEYOND excited. He came in late last night and Lyric was up and waiting. I would have loved to wait up but Froggy had other plans. This morning when Lyric woke up the 1st thing he did was to run to the hallway to check to make sure Grandpa G was still there. He was and Lyric gave one of the biggest smiles I have ever seen. Lyric has lots of plans for Grandpa over the next few days, hopefully Grandpa G has no plans of being allowed to rest or relax…

ROAR!!!!!!!!!

Its amazing how something so small can make you feel soooo old. Last week Lyric made this pregnant momma feel ancient….when he started to talk about the Lion King. At first when he started to “roar” around the house I assumed it was another “boy” thing. Everyday Lyric is something or someone else…sometimes a Robot, sometimes Superman etc. So I thought this was just his way of being a Lion until I heard a song I used to love from my child hood. And then suddenly it all made sense. Lyric had seen and fell in love with the Lion King. So imagine my excitement when I realized finally I could share a cartoon with him that I actually liked, not pretended to like.

So like the crazy pregnant lady I am, I had Tre drive me around that night so I could find and buy Lyric (and I) the Lion King DVD. Well imagine my frustration when I couldn’t find it. I swear it’s at times like these I realize I am really spoiled, because I was so disappointed and upset I could barely even sleep. The next day I got up extra early to do 2 things get Lyric’s back to school shopping done and to buy Lion King. Well 4 hours, and 6 shopping bags later…I still had one item on my to do list. Thankfully Tre had a co-worker who let us borrow the Lion King….and now whenever I ask Lyric to do something he starts to sing “Oh I just can’t wait to be King”…

November 18th

As majority of you know I am a planner….LOL. Well today after meeting with HR, I realized the perfect due date….November 18th. Now considered Lyric came early, the likely hood of me delivering early is greater. But after looking at the calendar I am trusting and believing that Froggy can and will wait until his time. Since my job has maternity leave under short term disability I get paid to stay home and bond with Froggy. However I have to put up the 1st 2 weeks using my sick, and vacation time, so after calculating if I give birth any day after November 18th I will only have to use 64 hours of my time rather than 80.

Somehow this makes me feel like I am getting a bargain deal…and we all know how I like to shop!!!!
