tick tock, tick tock


We’re still waiting! It’s my due date and here I am…looking the same (but Bigger)! I’m still holding out that today is going to be the day, so we’ll see! Right now, everything feels pretty much the same, just a few little crampy like pains now and then. I think I’m so desparate for something to happen that at a little stab of pain I will and grab my bag and be on my way!

It’s really weird to try to think about the belly going away. Or that one day very soon, I will be able to easily get up from the couch, or not be told by our five year old, Quinn, that I look like a penguin…yeah, that’ll be nice.
I have big feet (thanks mom:) One of Della's gifts were these cute teeny tiny newborn booties. Given that I have freakishly large feet, I’d be surprised if these little guys fit her once she’s born. The good news is that I can wear them as toe warmers if they don’t work out!

Know that saying, my cup runneth over?? Well, mine certainly has. I have felt so much support and love from each and every person around me. I just praise God daily for giving me such loving and supportive friends and family. I think that whole. . .it takes a villiage thing. . .begins at the beginning of pregnancy. My Aunt Linda has driven from Atlanta to spend some time with our family and to help out when Baby Della arives. She has been wonderful! From making dinner of Hot Dog Mashed Potato Delight to taking our son Quinn on adventure walks. . .its been great!! I wonder if she would like to stay . . . Perhaps we’ll hire her as a live in nanny?

I have decorated Baby Della's room with family pictures of all the girls in our family. . .SO CUTE!!

Until it’s time. . .I’ll be furiously walking (which in my nine months pregnant condition is more of a furious waddling involving alternating grunts and gasps for air)

Big Hugs, Amy

Amy,
I just wanted you to know, you're not alone in your love of office supply shopping! My mom and I both love office supply stores, as well as the school supply section of any store. I have this crazy craving even more than she does. We both love the smell of new books. too funny. I love going back to school shopping, its my favorite kind of shopping to do, and I get stuck picking out everything and making sure its just right! It could be because I'm an artist, but I've been that way since I was really little. I'm starting college this year and I went on an adventure through all the supply stores in Florence trying to find the perfect agenda! So fun. But You're not alone! :]
I listen to you guys all the time while I am in my studio painting! Keep up the awesome work.
Many Thanks & God Bless

P.S. I believe you guys were talking about ways that parents can get kids excited about going back to school.. Well, I'm not a mom but I am a sister, I have two younger brother one is 10 and the other is 15. During the school year I take washable crayola window markers and write on the mirrors in their bathrooms. I write things like "You look awesome" Or "I hope you have a wonderful day." I hope it helps them to start their day on the right foot, and give them a little confidence boost in the morning. :] Thanks so much for everything you guys do!!
