Ramblings About the Baby

It is almost time for that precious grandchild to arrive. He should be here in abour 4-6 weeks. LSH goes for another sonogram, then Dr. visit tomorrow. The baby is measuring 3 weeks bigger that the due date. We eill find out then a better time frame. I know they come when God is ready for them to come, but she,nor her Dr. wants her to have a 9-10 lb. baby boy!

We had a lovely shower given by a friend of the father's mother a couple of weeks ago. It was nice to meet all the friends and family we had not met. Hubby went with the guy part of the family and had lunch and then came to help pack up. THere is another shower this weekend! LSH is so excited. This time it will be at my dear friend's house given by 3 special people. It should be a lot of fun! I am so excited, my niece is bringing my mother for the party! They will only be here for the day, but it will be great for Mother to meet B's family. ANd I haven't seen my niece in months!

We have a name......Trent Harrison......I love it! It is going to be so much fun keeping him, taking care of him, I know it will be hard, but I know it will be worth it. It's upside down....I know, how do I fix it???? I rotated it before I posted it???

Any grandmas out there with advice? I think that Mimi is my chosen name.....hopefully Trent will go with ist! Still looking for a granpa name for hubby....he is too youg for grandpa, we already have a Papaw and a Pepaw, no Pa.....I'm thinking Pops???????Any ideas?

By the way.....I made that Diaper cake! It was so fun and easy. I used swaddler diapers, rubber bands, a platter purchased from GW that LSH can use later, scrapbooking stickers, ribbon, shower decorations from WM & DT, socks and a monkey (we both have a monkey thing going on). I loved doing them and have thought about a business? I also worked on a wreath for her door at the hospital and at home. What do you think?

Yard

It has been so hot and dry, I can't even remember the last drops we have gotten! Our flower and grass are really suffering. Here are a few pictures from our yard when things were better and LEH's sunflowers! They were so beautiful!

Grandma.....Maybe Gigi

As I said in an earlier post that my oldest is having a grandbaby in October.She is progressing nicely. It is going to be a boy! What will I do with a boy? I will have to remember way back when I used to babysit! God never gives you more than you can handle. I am so proud of her and how she has handled her life. She graduated from Aggieland,she has a great guy, great job,just got a promotion and loves her job.

I have made a little lovie square and am going to make another with tags on it. I am working on a quilt and a diaper bag. I have so many projects I want to make. I only have about 2 months and I don't want any of this to take away from LEH going off to college.

I am working on a college knit dress for her, but having a hard time starting. I need some advise or help!

Furniture Re-Dos

Wimberly Chair Find & GW Stool

Can someone tell me how to turn my pictures around after I have downloaded or do I have to do that first?

More Pictures

Yes another GW find, $4, but it was missing screws, had ugly dirty fabric and get this, someone used duck tape to put the top layer on. Again I forgot to take a picture before LEH put Kilz on it!





My $5 stool to go with my secretary in my bedroom. I forgot to take a picture before I put the Kilz on it, but it was dark brown and not in very good shape, with ugly fabric.



These are pieces of my grandmother's bedroom set. I am going to have to find the after pictures and post them later. I sanded them and painted them black for my daughter's apartment. I also painted the chest of drawers and mirror, then put in new knobs on it. I still have a chiferrobe(?), piece to do to finish the set.





LEH Graduation Day- June 2010....Heading off to Aggieland! I was a beautiful day and my mother, sister,nephew,sister-in-law and our next door neighbors came.
Empty nest soon!!!!!! Oh no! How will it work???????? We had a bunch of friends and family come to an after party, such fun!

It's Been A While!

Hello! I have been away for a while, 9 months, as long as it takes to have a baby. Good news I am going to be a Grandmother this October! I am so excited!I have been away due to work , then school was out and I was getting children moved to new places, re-doing furniture, sewing baby quilt, diaper bag......

Life hasn't been easy, is it ever? But I do know that God has been carrying me all the way and that everything will be great.

I have lots of pictures to share.....
