Thank you so much Kathleen.
Thank you Harland Clarke!
So I might have begged the husband to let me order monogrammed checks this time around...and when they came in...I made them with the wrong monogram! I can not tell Drake this!! So, I called the company begging and pleading to help me because... well I am 38 weeks pregnant and I am just not thinking clearly and my husband is going to kill me... They were so nice on the phone. What do you know... I have brand new checks with the correct monogram being sent my way! Thank you so much Harland Clarke!!
Anniversary/Push Gift...
Since our anniversary and Grayson's arrival are so close together, Drake decided to get me a joint gift. (With hospital bills on the way, I was completely okay with this...)
My mom had already gotten me the monogrammed pendant from here, but a thin chain looked horrible with it. I had been eyeing this simple sterling silver ball necklace, but it was rather pricey, but WOULD look fab with my pendant... so... he got it for me!

Weekly Wisdom: ??
Milestones: Not going crazy!
This Body is Getting Tired!
Yesterday the husband and I went grocery shopping and by the time we got home I was exhausted!! When I walked in the door I told Drake my legs were killing me. Right after I said that, splat, I fell flat on my face. (Almost as if my legs just gave out.) I scraped my knees up but managed to fall "gracefully" on my side, as to not hurt Grayson. While on the floor I didn't know whether to cry or laugh... so I did both...Poor Drake didn't know what to do...I might have laughed a little too hard...if you know what I mean! Ha!! The joys of being pregnant!!
A Love Hate Relationship...
I have a love/hate relationship with the hubs having his patrol car in our driveway. Yes, I definitely feel much safer with it in the driveway but the neighborhood is taking advantage of having a cop so close.
So last night while the hubs was having poker night with the guys I was sleeping wonderfully in my bed...until the doorbell started ringing constantly. Coy went crazy and I was terrified. Slowly I tiptoed to the front door to get a look through the peep hole with my pink gun in hand! No way was I going to open that door. All I could hear was screaming going on. I just knew I was going to go into labor! I ran/waddled back to the bedroom and locked the door and called the hubs who came home.
Come to find out their is a teenage boy who lives a few houses down and they have been having problems with him getting into trouble. Some cars pulled up at his house and they were trying to start a fight. The mom ran over here to get the husband to stop it- which he wasn't here!!
I know she meant well but I was terrified for the rest of the night. Then my stomache started cramping and hurting...I just knew it...this baby has been scared out of me. Luckily it subsided with baby still in tow.
Final Baby Shower...
Today I had my final baby shower...that means the end is near...Ha!! These two wonderful women threw it for me. The bestie and her mama!
Thank you so much for everything y'all did! Grayson has the best godmother and great-godmother!!
37 Weeks and Birthdays!!
Happy birthday to two of my favorites...
(The bestie...)
(The brother...)
and today I am 37 weeks!!
Adult Truths

23. Even under ideal conditions people have trouble locating their car keys in a pocket, finding their cell phone, and Pinning the Tail on the Donkey - but I'd bet everyone can find and push the snooze button from 3 feet away, in about 1.7 seconds, eyes closed, first time, every time.

24. The first testicular guard, the "Cup," was used in Hockey in 1874 and the first helmet was used in 1974. That means it only took 100 years for men to realize that their brain is also important.
