So, its been a long time. I probably have maybe one reader (hi! mom) of this little blog left, but I've missed blogland so I'm back. Since I last posted, I HAD A BABY! Little Tripp. He is named after his Daddy, who is a Jr., so his nickname is Tripp for numero 3. Since I didn't do a great job of documenting my pregnancy I thought I'd start with Tripp's birth story.<br />
<br />
I just love birth stories. To me they are so magical. I usually don't read one without tearing up. Before I forget too many details, I wanted to jot Tripp's down so I will have it forever, so here goes….<br />
<br />
Tripp was a breech baby from the beginning. We kept holding out hope that maybe he would turn, but he ultimately stayed put. But first, let me back up….I didn't love being pregnant. In the beginning I was sick, the 2nd tri was ok, but by the end I was done. I was swollen, I gained too much weight, and he was breech. And when I say I was swollen, I mean I was swoooooollen. Living in the South in August all while 8 mos pregnant is miz. Many days it was 100 degrees and 100 percent humidity. The low point was wearing flips flops to work. Not the cute flip flops like Jack Rogers. I was wearing like stretched out Rainbows. They were literally the only shoe that fit. We didn't know it at the time but Tripp was a BIG baby. And he was up so high I could barely breathe. Talking on the phone would wind me! I remember talking on the phone with my Mom and barely being able to talk bc I was so out of breath. So by the time the doctor scheduled the C-Section I was ready. So ready. On a side note, we talked about trying to turn him with our doctor, but it just didn't feel right. One piece of advice I would give expecting moms out there is go with your gut. You can read everything on the internet and ask 100 different people what they think you should do. Just try to be as informed as possible, talk with your doctor and partner, but then, go with your gut.<br />

Ok, now down to the birth.<br />
<br />
We went in to the OBGYN's office the day before to talk with the doctor. Really it was a simple visit and he just answered any questions we had. I was really ready, so the only questions I had were did I need to bring him (the doctor) breakfast/coffee and should I bring my own water thermos. (No, to both). Really we spent more time talking about T bc he has a tendency to get faint when blood is involved. They told him to eat a good breakfast, and try not to look. He said he could handle both. Then the doctor sent us over to the hospital to pre-register and have some blood drawn. They told us to report back at 6:30 am, and that I was the second C-section scheduled that next morning. The rest of the day is a blur. I know I talked to a few friends, parents, packed some last minute items, and said lots of prayers. I had intentions of cooking something that night, but we just ended up going to Zaxbys. <br />
<br />
We woke up around 4 am. It was sort of like Christmas morning. Neither one of us could sleep. I was anxious and still huge so sleeping was not really happening. We got up, showered, I curled my hair for probably the first time in 6 months, packed the car, and hit the road. We drove through the driveway at Hardees so T could eat something to eat. I had an ice chip. We arrived at the hospital, parked. We got out of our car, grabbed the bags and then we just stopped mid way in the parking lot and hugged. I think the gravity of what was about to happen hit us both at the same time. We hugged, kissed and said I love you and a quick prayer all while standing in the quiet and dark hospital parking lot. It was such a sweet moment, and one I never want to forget. <br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
After checking in with the administrative office, we headed upstairs. They took us back to the pre-op room immediately. There was another lady in the room with us. I never saw her since we had a sheet separating us. They had me change into a gown, put a really sexy hairnet on, and then they hooked me up to the monitor. I was having already having pretty consistent contractions which was funny to see on the screen. I could sort of tell I was before being hooked up, but it was weird to see it confirmed. I don't think Tripp would have stayed put for too much longer. My parents arrived, and I was so glad to see them. The nurses were really nice and asked me if I had a baby book that I wanted his footprints stamped in. Of course. They made small talk with and made me feel really comfortable and excited. Not really nervous at all. After about 30 minutes, the doctors came in and took the lady who was in the room with me back to surgery. That didn't really phase me until I heard her baby cry! Wow! That was so weird and for some reason that made what was about to happen so much more real! I started to get a little nervous. The anesthesiologist came in and talked with me about the spinal procedure, which was the thing I was most freaked out about. I really didn't want to throw up (which I had heard could happen), so I tried to make that clear to him. He was nice and put me at ease that he didn't think that would happen but if it did we would handle it. Then it was time. Mom and Dad left. And Terence left to go get dressed. It was just me. The nurse came in and walked me to the OR. Isn't it weird that you walk in the OR? It was freezing in there but my hands were still sweaty. They propped me on the table and stated my spinal. Ohhhh I was so nervous. Ugh. But it went smoothly. I laid down and waited for T to come in. I made small talk with the nurses and anesthosigist. T came in and they got started.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I could not feel anything, but it was really difficult for the doctor to get Tripp out. He was so much bigger than everyone expected, and my torso is pretty short, plus he had been wedged up so high for so long. And the cord was also around his neck so they were dealing with a lot of different factors. I felt lots of pressure and kind of got freaked out in the middle of it bc he was not coming out easily and the table kept shifting back and forth. The doctor kept saying "C'Mon, Buddy" as he tugged to get him out. T kept asking if I was ok bc I had my eyes shut the whole time. I was just praying. At 9:43 someone yelled OUT, and they took him to the baby station to clean him off. He was completely silent. I kept asking if he was ok. And after what felt like an eternity the nurses said he was fine and he started to cry. All I could see was his dark hair. The doctor kept calling him Superman, and still does to this day. They lifted him up and showed him to me. He was so beautiful and I will never forget seeing that sweet face for the first time. After nine months, my sweet baby was finally here.</div>

Right after he was born they must have given me a different medicine bc I got really dizzy. Like I felt like I was going to pass out. The nurses put some smelling salts (or something) under my nose and that sort of brought me back but they rest of that time in the OR is kind of a blur. T and Tripp went off for him to get measured. 8 lbs., 11 oz. and 21 inches. I could hear everyone talking about how big he was but nobody was telling me how much he weighed bc they wanted to T to tell me. T and Tripp came back in and they sat him on my chest and wheeled us to recovery. Your baby laying on your chest, no matter how out of it you are, is the sweetest, best feeling. In recovery, T and I just sat there in amazement. He was just so precious. <br />

After a short time in recovery they wheeled us up to our room where all of our family was waiting. Everyone squealed and oohed and aahed as we turned the corner. All and all, we really had a great birth experience. I remember looking at T after Tripp was born and just saying, this really is the best day ever. And it really was. <br />

I'll do a separate post on our time in the hospital since I think it deserves its own post.<br />

Thats all for now folks (or, Mom)….I promise to be back in less than a year.<br />

So recently, a hang gliding competition was held in our tiny town, so one afternoon we all went to check it out.</div>

The main reason we went was to see my mother-in-law tandem hang gliding! The hang gliders put an ad on the radio and my mil jumped at the chance to go. She is sort of awesome like that. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The competition was at the airport in town. Needless to say, our airport doesn't have a ton of traffic, so we were able to walk on the runway and watch her take off. Kind of crazy, but I guess its a perfect to living in a small town ;)</div>

So this weekend...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I did a lot of little stuff, like the organizational stuff that you put off until it's raining outside (which it was)...stuff like cleaning out your makeup bag and bathroom drawers...and laundry....lots of laundry. Ugh. I did manage to squeeze in some yard work with this little one as my helper. She jumped in there herself...I swear.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And I did a total happy dance when this came in the mail!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Part of my new bedding! Yay! Our bedroom is the last room to be decorated. It was/is a hideous mess, but I have patiently been waiting to tackle this project and lots of stuff is in the works. </div>

So that was pretty much this weekend....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but, last weekend I went home...home, home.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Is it normal that I still call my parent's house, home...other people do that, right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, this is "my" front yard ... when you live on a farm, cows in your front yard is totally normal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I want this picture made into a painting. It's one of my favorites.</div>

Mom and I headed to Scott's Antique Market in Atlanta to do a little shopping on Saturday. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I found a headboard! </div>

The other day I needed a break, so I went to hang in one of my favorites rooms in our "new" house,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the sunroom, which opens up to the patio.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The old owners of our house used this room as a playroom, but obviously it works best as reading nook/relaxing room for us. I love sitting in here with the door open. If it's hot, just turn on the fan and it's perfect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know I mentioned it in my last post but this room was no exception to the "we painted every room in our house" statement. This room was lime green which totally worked as a kids play area, but we have loved the change to cream walls. I'll have to do a before/after post soon.</div>

These aloe plants are the newest addition to the yard. Who doesn't love an aloe plant? I always remember my grandmother having one. A burn or scratch was not so bad bc she always let me pluck a little piece off and rub it on my "wound" - I always thought that was so cool. Mom sent me home with a huge basket full of little aloe plants and I've planted several of them. Here is hoping one of the lives.</div>

We have done a ton of work back here and I can't wait to do a before and after post. This is just a little preview. T has worked so hard - he claims working in the yard is his therapy. Somedays I think it might be true.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
i've been away from the blogworld for a while now (i know, i feel like i keep saying this), but lately i've missed keeping y'all up to date on our lives. i look back on my blog and i'm so glad i have documented so much of our first year of marriage. lately, time seems to be slipping by so fast. i cannot believe it is may, MAY! so with that, my goal is simply to slow down more and reflect by writing down what we've been up to more. plus, blogland is fun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
so first off, we have been painting. still painting.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
we've painted every room in our house.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and every hallway.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
sometimes twice...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
but, we are finished painting!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
happy dance...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
anyway, this is our bedroom.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
yeap, didn't go with either of these sample colors.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
chose the one on the left.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
painted the whole room.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
then painted it again...with a different color.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
the things we do to perfect our nest.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Currently in the middle of reading this - and lets just say we are not in Hogwarts anymore!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Definitely an adult novel - It was a little hard for me to get into this at first, but I've enjoyed it so far. Has anyone read this yet? What did you think?</div>

<i>Maine</i> by J. Courtney Sullivan</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The best part about this book is the setting. I'm obsessed with Maine, in fact, I'm planning on moving there as soon as possible! But for now, I'm stuck in South Georgia with the heat and the gnats...YAY!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway, this book is really enjoyable and will make you want to move to Maine with me!</div>

Strangers...<br />
That is what my little blog and I have become</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And I suppose it's because </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>we have been busy</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So busy that we've been out of town the last 5 weekends. Yes. 5. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I thought summers were supposed to be time to slow down?!?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The good news is that this weekend....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we are home.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
:)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So, I'm hoping to catch up with all of you in blogland. I've missed your posts and reading about your lives! I hope I haven't missed too much! <br />
<br />
For now, I will leave y'all with my summer reading list - please share yours!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also, I found this link on pinterest and it has some great books, plus a few I've never heard of, sooo</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you may be able to find some you'd like to read via this link as well!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

So far, here is my list:<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<h1 class="parseasinTitle " style="color: black; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<span id="btAsinTitle"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;">Bringing Up Bebe: One American Mother Discovers the Wisdom of French Parenting </span></i></span></h1>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span id="btAsinTitle"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit; font-size: small;"><br /></span></i></span></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No, I'm not having a bebe, but I am obsessed with all things French and I do hope to have a bebe at some point and when I do, I want them to be well-behaved and chill, so after learning about this book via Tessa, I had to pick it up. I read the first 2 chapters last night - I'm hooked.</div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Has anyone read this yet? Thoughts?</div>

Back in the Day Bakery is a from scratch local bakery located in Savannah. When I lived there I probably ate at this place at least once a week! These people are true talents and they obviously love what they do. They make the best cupcakes you've ever put in your mouth. Total worth the 20 or so bucks to find out how they make those scrumptious delicacies! </div>

Sorry for the lack of posting around here, but my parents have kidnapped my "good" camera, so I haven't taken too many pics of late...And, we are, as usual, busy. I must say it is the good kind of busy though. I haven't posted much about our move to Americus, but I must say we really have loved it here. Its nice to be closer to family and friends (even my parent's are 3 hours closer now!). We have also really making over our new house - we have made some big changes so far. I know I keep promising before and after pics but I'm assure you they are coming soon!!! Very excited to share!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

and guess what? I did! Yay for reading!<br />
<br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I still haven't jumped on the kindle bandwagon - I still love the smell and feel of a book<br />
However, toting around 8 books can get old...and heavy<br />
<br />
These are some books I read over the holidays:<br />
<br />
<i>The Book of Marie</i> by Terry Kay - anyone that knows me, knows my obsession with this author. He never disappoints (<i>me, at least</i>). Great Southern fiction! Check it out!<br />

<i>Curtsey</i> by Marne Davis Kellogg - she is such a fun author. Started reading her back in college. Loved her books <i>Priceless</i>, <i>Brilliant</i>, <i>Friends in High Places</i>. I liked this book, but would def check out her others before reading this one! <i>Priceless </i>is probably my fav. Love the way she writes about exotic places and wonderful food...Here is a description of <i>Priceless</i> from her website:<br />

<div style="text-align: left;"><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><span class="dropsans" style="color: black; font-family: "times new roman", palatino, garamond, serif; line-height: 14pt;">"K</span><span class="bodysans" style="color: black; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 13pt;">ick Keswick, one of the most charming, enchanting, and best-dressed heroines of fiction, discovers that a life of crime can be impossible to leave behind . . . </span></span></i></div><i></i><i><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: xx-small;"><span class="bodysans" style="color: black;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 13pt;">Kick Keswick has lived an extraordinary life. For twenty-five years she was the power behind the throne at a venerable London auction house and a master jewel thief. (Stealing only from those who deserved it, of course.) That changed when she fell in love with Commander Thomas Curtis of Scotland Yard and retired to Provence to live respectably, surrounded by beautiful </span><a href="http://www.marnedaviskellogg.com/priceless_menu.html" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 13pt;">food, wine and picnics</a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 13pt;"> in lavender-filled fields. But now, someone is stealing irreplaceable jewels from Paris to Portofino - and using Kick's signature techniques. To make matters worse, Thomas has disappeared with her secret cache of precious stones. It looks like someone is trying to lure Kick out of retirement, and perhaps Thomas is involved. With Marne Davis Kellogg's trademark descriptions of fabulous places, wonderful food, and the ultimate in luxurious living, PRICELESS is a deliciously indulgent treat, told with style and wit." </span></span></span></i> <br />

<i>The Girl Who Chased the Moon</i> by Sarah Addison Allen - fun read, wasn;t my absolute fav, but I still thought it had a good twist at the end and it kept me interested.<br />
<br />
<i>The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo</i> by Stieg Larsson - still haven't read this one, but its next on the list! Can't wait to see the movie - not excited about it being almost 3 hours though! Has anyone seen it yet?<br />
<br />
My grandmother gave me this reader's digest over the break. 4 books in one = Score<br />
I had previously read <i>Winter Garden </i>by Kristin Hannah - really good book - made me cry.<br />
Haven't ready the other 3 yet, but they are:<br />
<i>The Poacher's Son</i> by Paul Doiron<br />
<i>A Thread So Thin </i>by Marie Bostwick<br />
<i>Half Broke Horses</i> by Jeannette Walls - Loved <i>The Glass Castle</i> and can't wait to read this!<br />
<i>The Glass Castle </i>should be on your <b>MUST </b>read list!<br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">We have been busy at our house. T has been sitting in a deer stand every morning and night, while I've been playing with my new child, Birdie. I walked to the garage the other day and almost broke my neck on T's hunting boots which he left at the door. I took a picture because it sort of sums up his life right now...eat, sleep, work, hunt...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Since Mom didn't have a baby and Baby didn't have a mom, my Dad tried a little experiment. He put them in the same pen to see if the mom would adopt the little baby. And she took right to him! They have bonded over the last month and she has let him nurse everyday (thats what he is doing in this picture and why you can barely see him!). </div><div style="text-align: center;">She is also one protective mama! She wouldn't even let me in the pen to take their picture. She was not having anybody mess with her baby! </div><br />
