Love this baby!

I LOVE SARAH KATHRYN! I do...more and more everyday! i keep making mental lists of all the things i want to tell her when she grows up. I dont know why God chose ME...at this time...to be a parent..but i quess HE knows what he is doing..because i certainly dont! I felt her move this morning stronger than i have ever felt her move! Its not just pokes and kicks anymore. This gal is MOVING! I feel elbows and feet and such! Its not the most comfortable feeling...but it sure does make me smile. I just love this girl!

Things i Cannot do at 7 months pregnant:

1. Paint my toenails
2. Tie my own shoelaces
3. get out of a bathtub
4. Watch a "Baby Story" show without crying
5. Watch "Extreme Home Makeover" without crying
6. Eat barbecue (i used to love bbq)
7. Cough, laugh, or sneeze without peeing my pants
8. Walk without waddling like a duck
9. Successfully keep a tan
10. Roll over in bed without looking like a cruiseliner
11. Sleep without the aid of at least 3 pillows
12. Say no to dessert
13. Eat without planning when i should take my antacids
14. Remember where i am going/ what i was just saying/ simple names of objects
15. Wear heels farther than walking in to church...and walking out. (Flats are always waiting for me in the car)

"GETTIN' FATTER!"

Hmm...Today im bored and hungry. A seemingly dangerous combination for me. I have plenty to do. Finish painting SarahK's room, Organize drawers, sweep, dust.. there is plenty to do. Im just feeling Blah today. After putting up all the laundry i felt like i had run a marathon..! Good to know im in such great shape.!Yesterday i went outside and my neighbor yells to me,"hey!!! you SURE are gettin' FATTER!!" . Ahhh...the joys of neighborly love. I know im getting fatter. You dont think I know that?! I can barely put on my own shoes these days, But there is a nicer way to put it though, im sure. For instance the word "Bigger or Huskier" would have been a welcome substitute for the word, "FATTER". Somebody get me some cheese sticks. and mayonaise. stat!

Thank goodness its not illegal to be in love with sour candy!

no really,,, if it were illegal to be this much in love with sour candy....GUILTY AS CHARGED! i cant get enough...you should fear for your safety and wellbeing if you are in the way of me and my candy. Thank you JESUS that there is this WONDERFUL candy store at our mall just down the street that has rows and rows of different kinds of sour candy...They know me by name there. Its a creepy relationship. Of all places to be recognized...the candy store is not at the top of my list. But sa la vie.. i must go..or i can and will explode into a glorious fit of sensless tears. Its really sad.. i desprately wish i was one of those responsible pregnant girls that craves fresh fruit and veggies....But no... i want candy for breakfast , lunch and dinner. No, that is not ALL i eat...i fit the healthier stuff in too...but my god..the about of candy ive been eating would make willy wonka blush! i need intervention. .... poor baby girl..she's gonna be addicted to sour patch kids the minute she is born... i hope they have iv's full of sugar on stand by for my labor! But good news...i went to the doctor and they said my sugar levels were fine...I was fully expecting to hear i had blessed myself with Gestational Diabetes... but yay! whoo hoo! im good to go!

HOTTY TODDY

This past weekend, for Clay's birthday we went to the Ole Miss vs. Auburn game. I dont think Clay couldve asked for a better birthday...he got to see his team play...see his family, and hang out with his best friends in memphis later that night! Oh...AND Mrs. Darlene(we stayed with the Herring's) made him a Strawberry birthday cake! We really had a great time and now Sarah Kathryn has been to her very first Ole Miss football game..! im sure she had a blast ...all that yelling and jumpin up and down i was doing... not to mention all the walking i did! But i can say..im pretty proud of my big fat self for keeping up with the family and trying not to complain too much...although i was sweating like a prostitute in church..and by the end of the day my feet and ankles were unrecognizable to me...! It looked like i had grapefruits for ankles , i was so swollen! And let me tell you...when James Branch(i love him dearly) is on a mission...You better keep up...because he's not slowing down for ANYONE...No matter how pregnant you might be.!!! I was a trooper though...and had a really great time! I just wish we couldve pulled out a win for her first game! BOOOOO!!! By the way..i was the BEST "boo"er in our section.! No, really, Im pretty awesome at Booing! I had to slow it down by halftime though bc i was already going hoarse...so i had to save the big loud boos for the really important stuff..! So Sarah Kathryn got her first taste of Rebel spirit and we hope that continues on.....She's gonna make a great Rebelette! Hotty Toddy!
