It's Finished!

I am so excited about how the nursery turned out. We changed the paint color to a brighter green, added pink and white polka dotted curtains, hung the mirror, and FINALLY got our sweet froggy (it's made a long, crazy journey but that's another post). We are absolutely ready and now my favorite part...waiting. I am not the most patient person in the world so these next few weeks will be filled with getting ready for Christmas, getting through 3 more weeks of school and being with my sweet kids, getting maternity leave plans ready (this seems to never end), and cheering on my Tigers as they beat the Gamecocks, win the ACC, and earn a trip to the Orange Bowl!

BTW- Graham thinks that he can sweet talk our doctor into inducing on December 21st so I'll keep you posted on how the shmoozing (sp?) goes!

C is for Collins

This past weekend, Christie, Hunter, and Margaret threw the most darling shower for me. Check out the pictures....it was themed C is for Collins!


My frog picture finally came in and the nursery is complete! I will upload pictures on Sunday after our last weekend in Clemson : ( Cross your fingers for a win and a chance to go to the ACC Championship Game!

Only 5 1/2 weeks left...I am beyond excited!

56 Days?!

According to my little pea in a pod above, I only have 56 more days! 8 weeks are going to fly by!


I have stayed super busy with going to Clemson almost every weekend, getting maternity leave plans ready for school, and setting up the nursery (thus the blog neglect).

I also had a really nice baby shower in Florence a couple weekends ago and got to see a bunch of friends I hadn't seen in a while. I am super excited about this weekend's game against Florida State because my aunts and grandmother are having a Clemson themed shower/tailgate! And because I am SUPER SPOILED with such amazing friends and family my sisters-in-law, Hunter and Christie and my friend Margaret are having a Beaufort shower for me next weekend!

Sorry for the lack of updates- I just haven't had much to say! I had an OB appointment yesterday and my tummy is measuring right on schedule and Collins's little heartbeat was perfect. The nursery is almost ready so stay tuned for the final product pictures coming up next week!

P.S.

I asked my parents for a "big girl" camera for Christmas so I promise when I start posting pictures of my sweet girl they won't be the terrible quality that the ones are below! Do you love your camera? Let me know which one I should get!

Nursery Sneak Peak

Our nursery furniture FINALLY came in from market and my parents came to visit and deliver it yesterday! Here are the first pictures of the nursery! We are still waiting on my pink and white polka dot curtains, circular mirror, floor lamp, and we are looking for a print to go above the chair. Any suggestions for a cute nursery art website? This cute froggy is all I have found so far...I just want to make sure I have exhausted all other options before ordering it. I'll keep updating the pictures as the room transforms!

Riggs is already jealous and felt like he needed to get in a picture...
Never could have done this without my Dad's patience!

All is well!

Marshall informed me today that she has been bored in class and needs some updates....so sorry for the lack of posts (have I already mentioned that I am terrible at this blogging thing).


Well, I don't have much to report! Baby Collins will be 27 weeks tomorrow so we are moving right along. I am counting down the days until we get to meet her and I am "in aw" of my belly grow bigger and bigger everyday! Graham and I are loving her constant kicks and wiggles which really helps on the "is she really ok in there?" worries. I have to take my glucose test this Thursday so fingers crossed on passing it. (No Smore's the night before, right Lauren?)

We have been to the last 3 Clemson home games and have gotten wet no DRENCHED at the last one. Needless to say, I am looking forward to a pajama weekend and sleeping in my own bed. Not that I don't love my tigers and being in Clemson seeing my family and buddies but prego needs a break from the 4 and half hour car trip!

School is busy, busy, busy but I am really enjoying my sweet class and will miss them terribly when I am on maternity leave after Christmas Break. Wish me me luck as we head into the third trimester- I just can't wait!!!

What in the world?

I have no idea what this crazy background stuff is....I am working on this nonsense!
