Girls' Weekend

Ok, so let me just say that I know I suck at this blogger thing. I did really good, and now it seems to be such a chore. It kinda is when it takes away from my sleep or relaxation time. Ryan does not play nicely alone for long, so work is where I am able to actually get time to write my thoughts. I just can't do pics this way. Oh well.

Anyway, I am very excited to say that my sister Betsy is going to host a wonderful baby shower for me! I guess I am still in shock that it could be a baby girl I am having (yes, its true for those of you who don't know already). Hence, the party at Betsy's. Anyone and everyone knows that if you have a girl, Betsy is the one to coordinate the hairbows with the outfits. So hopefully by the end of the shower I will have a plethora of cute little bows for my little Gracie Rae.

Not much else exciting has been happening, so perhaps in another month or two you will hear from us.

Best Seat in the House

It's a boy!...maybe.

Unofficially, we are having a boy. I went up to my old hospital and played with the ultrasound machine, and I am relatively confidant that I saw the male package. This has been what we have planned on since I have no boy name and only girl names. So if anyone has any boy names to throw our way, let me know!

Sty, my EYE!

Ok, so I have had a little issue with my left eye. Started with the just the upper eyelid feeling inflamed, now the corner has taken on a new bump, right at the tear duct. So on Monday, I call my OB/GYN and see what I can do. Bad move. She orders me some ointment (that yes, is safe and is used for eye issues), however, it only made my problem worse quickly. So today I went to the eye doc, and the only availability was for an optometrist. I tried hard to see an opthamologist (did I spell that right?), and wasn't able to until Fri/most likely Monday. Couldn't wait that long. So he proceeds to tell me that I have a sty and not to worry. If I would like to wait it out, it would go away on its own, or he could get me some antibiotics. Antibiotics please! Oh, but check with the other doc first to make sure its good with the peanut. Sure, that's all handled, my eye still feels horrid, I look horrid, and I just don't believe him. Heidi, is he for real?!! And yes, I sure did question him since my entire eyelid is infected. Oh not to worry, chuckle, chuckle, its just part of what a sty is. Ok, so here's the pic. Yeah, I know I have ugly Betty eyebrows working it right now, but look past that. What ya think?

So now here are my boys, just because they are the cutest ever. This is at Nana's 84th birthday party, and Ryan did very well for a 3hr lunch. Part of the entertainment was flashing those cheesy grins at the camera.

Water fun

Ryan has been having so much fun in his new house! We have a yard that we can actually play in! And because this is southern Texas in the throes of a scorching summer, we play in the water every time we go outside. While Memaw was here helping us get moved over, she found the coolest new water toy. It can entertain us for well over an hour at a time. I quickly learned to turn down the water pressure so when he decided to spray me, it wasn' t such a forceful blast. And when I decided to catch some of this on video, I learned to stay within the confines of the house, with the sliding door slightly ajar, so it could quickly be closed should the water suddenly need to come my way.




Thanks to Heidi, I have a new webpage, and am working on updating more faithfully. However,I still value my sleep as much as possible, so if it comes to updating or sleeping, I much prefer the sleeping. Yes, Heidi, I will try and be more diligent. But I can't promise much right now. But thank you so much for making my page pretty. And I am working on getting videos uploading, so check back later for those.
