I apologize for my lack of blogging. Hopefully when Grayson gets here my life will be a little more interesting and I'll have more things to share.

Chad and I had a great Christmas and New Year. We traveled to North Myrtle Beach to see his family for a few days and stopped in Clinton for a few days on our way home. It was nice to finally have another girl at my house this year since my brother is newly married. And Andrew is dating someone--so we were very excited about that (although we haven't met her yet)!
We were so ready to get back home and have some time to get things done around the house before heading back to work. The laundry room is almost finished and I need to post pics of that. It's going to be so much better than it was--and we'll even have a utility sink so that I can wash Grayson's cloth diapers that I am going to bravely try!!!


We gave each other a new washer and dryer for Christmas--which I am absolutely loving!!! One day hopefully we'll be able to give each other normal gifts for Christmas--and not gifts for the house!! I'll post some pics soon.


I've been trying to get Grayson's nursery organized. I made some pictures with Grayson's initials--they turned out pretty cute.

This is a picture of his dresser (which will be his changing table for a while). Chad did a great job refinishing it for me. I finally got curtains up over Christmas! It's starting to come together. He'll be here in 10 weeks--so hard to believe!!
The funniest thing happened last night (at least to us)--we were sitting on the couch and Chad noticed that my belly suddenly took on a different shape--one side was alot higher than the other--it was really weird. Then we could feel a butt sticking up on one side and head on the other side--2 hard knots!! Then, I started to feel a steady movement--Grayson had the hiccups!! That's the first time I had felt that and it was so neat!! He hiccupped for a while until I sneezed a few times and I guess it scared him!! So cute!!

I love love love his nursery Mollie!! Chad did an awesome job on the dresser and I love his initials that you made to hang over it. :) These next 10 weeks will FLY by!!
(and I know what you mean about buying "normal" Christmas presents...every year we buy each other a new piece of furniture for Christmas and/or birthdays. We have slowly furnished our house this way, but still have a ways to go!)

Yay!Hiccups are so much fun! I loved it when Lydda Grace had the hiccups in my belly and now that she's here I always feel bad when she has them! (I mean you can't intentionally scare a 5 month old!) Nursery is adorable, but I want to see a picture of you too!!
