Great Ideas

Since I am on bed rest, I have a lot of time of look at every body's blog. I have added a few of my favorite blog sites. I have always wanted to really decorate my house, these sites have great ideas. Best of all most are on the cheap and easy side of decorating. I have started a list of things that I want to do to our house as soon as I can. Please check out these blogs, you could get some ideas too!

Where's Grace

Grace is really in the move these days. She is slowly but surely learning how to walk. As for crawling, she's an old pro. Brett and I were talking in the den when we realized the Grace was not playing with her toys, and come to think of it neither of us had seen her for the past few minutes. Naturally, we looked down the hallway, but there was not Grace. She was not in the kitchen or laundry room either. Finally, we found her! She was in our room, with the door closed. Yes, closed! Her new favorite thing the to open and close the door. I am sure she will have her first pinched fingers soon.

Job Hunt

As everyone knows, Brett will be graduating from Mississippi College School of Law this May. We are very excited. A few months after graduation Brett will take both the Tennessee and Mississippi Bar Exams. The Bar will last for 4, yes count them 4 days. The girls and I plan to spend a lot of time in Memphis and at my parents lake house so Brett can really focus on studying for the Bar Exam. Brett has done great in school and now sets out the find his first Law job. This is not the best of times to be in the "job hunt" but everything will work out with God's help. So if you hear of any job openings in the legal field, please pass them our way. The big question we are getting now is, where do we plan on living. We plan on living wherever Brett's job takes us!!! And if you know me, "The Planner" this is driving me crazy. However, I am learning that not knowing can be just as fun as knowing and planning.

The Ball Pit

For Christmas Grace got a ball pit from Honey and Granddaddy. It came with 50 balls which was great, but not enough. Brett and I have been looking since Christmas for more balls. We finally found some at Wal-mart. So now her ball pit is full. I mean FULL. My camera battery is charging now, picture will soon follow. She really loves to be buried in the ball pit.

One Year and Growing

Grace has changed so much since we welcomed her into the world. Brett and I think she is looking less and less like a baby and more like a toddler. One of the biggest changes is Grace's attitude. Grace has started to really throw some fits when she does not get her way. At home we tell her no when she starts her fits, but we try not to make a big deal of the fits. However, I am still trying to figure out what to do when we are out and about. I mean there is nothing wrong with crying when she is hurt or does not feel well, but I do not want her to throw a fit just because she is not getting her way. The looks that people give are crazy. Sometimes I want to go up them and say, if you missed your nap and were cutting new teeth, you would be crying too! Please do not get me wrong, Grace does not throw fits all the time. As she has always been, she is usually a very happy girl.

Bed Rest and Baby Reagan

\\]As of last week, I'll remain in bed rest until the arrival of Reagan. However, I am allowed to do some things, I no longer have to just stay in bed. My last doctor visit was Thursday, we discussed "how" and "when" Reagan could be born. As of right now, we are planning for a c-section on Feb. 23rd. But, I have learned from Grace's birth that plans are just plans. The baby really decides everything. So, everyone be patient. We are trying to let everyone know things as we learn about them.
