Sissyisms

Grandma is staying with us while we await the arrival of Baby Bubba so she can stay with the girls while we are in the hospital.  She has been knitting a blanket for some friends of ours for a wedding gift and Sissy was full of questions.  Now, according to Sissy, grandma is knitting a "napkin" which translates afghan.  Grandma keeps correcting her but she finally just told grandma that she knew what it was, but she was going to call it a napkin.


She also always talks about being "born."  She has said this enough that the whole family knows she means that she's bored and we have given up on correcting her.  Well, the other day, Precious was talking about the baby being born.  Sissy said with a confused look on her face, "I don't think the baby will be born.  He'll be having lots of fun."

Have I mentioned that I am really nervous about delivering this baby?  The anxiety keeps increasing as I get closer and closer to my due date.  One of the things I am doing to try to relax during pregnancy is putting together a playlist of some of my favorite songs that will hopefully take my mind off all the PAIN.  Here are the songs I have so far:

What do you do on a snow day?....Fashion Show!!!

The girls put together this fashion show for me yesterday.  When it was over I even got to purchase some of the merchandise.  How is a boy going to fit into this??  Here is just a taste of the show I got.

 

 

 

Shower

Here are some pictures from the shower that my awesome friends threw for Baby Bubba and me. 

Here's a little back story so you will be in on the joke.  When my friend had her baby, she decided to use cloth diapers.  I know crazy!  Then, my other friend thought she would try them and ended up loving them.  Apparently the insanity was contagious and another friend that is due soon is using them too.  Two of them had cloth diaper-themed showers.  So I jokingly told the girls that I wanted an anti-cloth diaper shower.  Fast-forward to the shower where they made tiny picket signs.  Sorry the picture didn't turn out the best.

One of them gave me a diaper cake and put a sign on top as the center piece.  Down With Cloth Diapers!

I love that they can share in my sense of humor and not be hurt that I call them crazy.  The truth is I admire them for being so dedicated.  Not enough to join the madness though.  My sister even made the trip, despite the threat of bad weather, to be there for the shower.

I had a great time at the shower.  There's just something about a group of women getting together to celebrate one of the greatest blessings God can give.
