Pretty Red Toes!

Friday was such a wonderful day!! My feet were looking pretty motley since I've been wearing flip flops for months so, yesterday, I got a pedicure. It was AMAZING! I love having my feet rubbed, massaged, and generally tended to and, while Chris makes valiant attempts, he's no expert! Being in the car completely alone was wonderful! I played my favorite 80s music as loud as I could stand it, opened the sunroof, and sang like crazy!! That's good for the soul! My first stop was Starbucks for my very favorite salted caramel hot chocolate Frappuccino - if you haven't had this taste sensation, you need to fix that right now!! And then it was off to the salon for my much-anticipated pedicure and it totally ROCKED! I always go with red for my toenails and this time I picked Essie's Limited Addiction. It is a fabulous red and now my feet look so completely fantastic that I hate to walk on them!

See you soon!!

Long Time, No Blog!

So, I'm really embarrassed that I haven't blogged in so long! It's not for lack of material - more a lack of time and/or mojo!! Miss Morgan is doing great and I am finally healing, more or less. I go back to the dr. on Thursday, so I'll report back after that. Since, I last blogged, Morgan has been to several restaurants, Target, Kroger, Greek Fest, & church for the first time, and she's been to visit her brand new cousin in the hospital and to see her granddaddy at the farm. She's also been to Townsend, TN, andhad her 1-month birthday party complete with cake and tiaras. Whew! No wonder we're tired!! Unfortunately, while Morgan is a champion sleeper during the day :D our nights are way too active to suit me. Luckily, Chris has been off since she was born so that has been beyond amazingly wonderful, but he goes back to work tonight at midnight so to say I'm a little nervous is like saying football is a little important in the South!! We are going to do our best to keep her awake this evening in hopes that she will sleep better overnight. Prayers being said and fingers crossed!

See you soon!!

This Little Piggy!

We got some great news today at the pediatrician's office when we took Morgan in for a weight check. She's gained a whole pound in the past 10 days!! She's now up to 8lbs. 10 oz. and we are thrilled!! She lost quite a bit of weight after she was born and I was concerned that I wouldn't be able to nurse her exclusively, but she has really taking to nursing like a champ! In other news, I found out today that I don't have a staph infection like my dr. thought last week. Praise the Lord! That potential wrinkle really upset me last week and I've been in a spin ever since. I do have an infection, but it's not staph and it is responding to antibiotics, so that's wonderful news. Unfortunately, Chris has to pack a small part of my incision with gauze every day for two weeks, after a week of doing it already, which is as bad as it sounds. Hopefully, I'll get more good news when I go back to the dr. next week. Fingers crossed!!

See you soon!!

Hooray for October!!

I am beyond thrilled that it is finally October and the weather is so much cooler!! We even went for a walk last night and I had to wear a sweater - quite a difference from a few weeks ago. So it should come as no surprise that I was totally inspired yesterday to put out our Halloween decorations and I couldn't wait for Morgan to help :D She wasn't quite as into it as I hoped but I did get a few good pics, which is the important thing! I even culled out some old stuff to get rid of!! Woo Hoo! So glad to know the nesting instinct hasn't left me yet! Now, if I could just get the bathroom cleaned . . . :D

See you soon!!
