Getting Ready

Things are really starting to hop around here. If all goes as planned, our December 16, delivery is 7 weeks from Tuesday. I am happy to report that we have a room full of baby furniture scattered around our house - just no baby room. Our painter is due a week from tomorrow. John told him his life would be on the line if he didn't show up and he promised he would.

My mom has been busy sewing for Jack. She made the great cowboy pillow for the rocking chair that is going in the nursery. I love the way the fringe looks just like the fringe on a cowboy's chaps and it's made out of suede. My sister makes beautiful burp rags and sales them every where! Nicole has been very busy lately, so my mom made these and did a great job. To our Ole Miss friends, please do not be offended by the MSU burp rag. As all of you know, we (i.e. my husband and his family) are MSU through and through. (I graduated from DSU, so I try to remain neutral. Although John reminds me that his MSU education is what puts the roof over my head!) But I have to say, I really love that particular rag. My mom made it just for John. She made many more, but I thought I would highlight a few. I had a doctor's appointment last week and things look good. They took a lot of blood, but were so backed up in the lab that we had to leave without the results. They said they would call if there were any problems. I never heard from them, so I guess all is well. I go back next week. I hope everyone has a great, safe week!
