Starting on baby Connor’s room

There is going to be a twin bed in Connor’s room along with his crib and changing table. I got this bedding today and I think it matches pretty well with the crib fabric. That is all that is in his room pretty much right now…but it’s coming along!

This cross stitch picture was in mine and Bonnie’s room as a child and we both love it. The matting in the frame was pink so I took it out at put it in a more boyish frame to hang in Connor’s room. This is the prayer we grew up saying because it was easy to remember and right above our bed, hopefully I can teach it to Connor to say every night too. My Mom has her name in the bottom right and the year 1982, I guess it was a year after we were born.

25 weeks and a THANK YOU!

Here is the bump picture
I FEEL HUGE!!!!
Double chin..gobble…gobble…

THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU ARE THE BEST AND I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Paula loves her BACON!

I was watching Paula Deen yesterday on my lunch break at work and she just cracks me up!

Paula: “I’m makin meatloaf with bacon today ya’ll….mmmmm…”

(she proceeds to take it out of the oven)

Paula: “Ooh I see a piece of that bacon peaking outta that meatloaf!”

(she cuts off a big ole slab of meatloaf)

Paula: “But this little piggy ain’t gettin away from Paula!”

…onto the rest of the menu

(then she proceeds to cook a chicken soup with two cups of whipping cream)

Oh how I love Paula and she can come cook for me ANYTIME! And you know Paula EATS the food she cooks on TV, unlike that Giada De Laurentiis who is skin and bones and only licks her fingers!
