"Walls like these?"

Sorry for the annoying post yesterday. No excuses, I was just feeling a little loco. I am having trouble deciding what color to paint the bathrooms in the new house. They have black and white tile, and I want to redo the cabinets and sinks anyway. But I like the tile. What color scheme should I go with? I like red with black and white. I suppose I could do a stripe or pattern on the walls. Any input would be appreciated.
I heard the baby again this morning. Its little heart beat is so cute. Its funny that I can feel such a connection with peanut just by hearing his heart. I also am continually reminded he/she is there when I can't button my pants.
Today peanut's pancreas and gall bladder began functioning, and I learned why my back hurts. All of the ligaments in the low back/pelvis are stretching causing sharp pains. Sometimes I just want a diagnosis.

Mahlay and Femahlay

Who are you people who are voting for a girl? Not that I don't want a girl, but I just want to know what clues you are using. Are you voting based on what you would like us to have or is it a prediction? I wish I could tell who was voting for what. Idea! Why don't you post a comment on this post and let me know what you voted for? That way I will know!
Here is what I have so far:
Allison Godwin, Melanie Adams, Sydney Phillips all voted girl Girl.
Help me!! It's driving me crazy!

The quicker, the better.

The puppies are growing fast. In 8 days they have almost doubled in size. They are getting cuter by the second! They should be opening their eyes any day now.
I heard the baby's heartbeat with my Doppler yesterday! We had been hearing the placental swish of blood rushing in and out. When I went to let TJ hear, the baby had fallen asleep and I couldn't get him/her float up and let me listen! This morning Peanut was wide awake and TJ finally got to hear the very fast, little beat. TJ immediately decided that the baby had gotten that trait from him, because he can run so fast. (Everything is a competition isn't it? Never mind that I am the one who is rapidly losing my figure and urinating every 8 minutes to accommodate his "fast" child. But that's neither here nor there.)

My life: The Reality Show

Moving. In 1o days, we have to be completely moved out of our house. That's right, ten!!!! Our new house will need some remodeling, so we are moving to the lake house. At least until the end of August, maybe longer. Did I mention that we have to move 12 dogs and all of our stuff in 10 days? I know, I should shut up and be thankful that our house sold so quickly, especially in this market. I really thought we would have more time.
So, I should probably rush home to start this packing process, but I think I will procrastinate a little longer and go to the paint store instead. We have to paint the new house! Anyone with packing and/or painting slash dog sitting skills feel free to head to the Williford's and pitch in. All assistance is welcome.
Wouldn't MTV love our saga? Searcy, didn't you tryout for the Real World? Surely you could pull some strings and get us a time slot. On second thought, we might not be quite insane enough for MTV. Trust me, I would never confuse chicken and Chicken of the Sea.

Look's like somebody's gotta case of the Thursday's.

Uhh. So ready to go home. Want Mexican food....wait, didn't I just eat Mexican last night? Why do I crave everything bad for me and little peanut, or Esmerelda, as Veronica calls it? While I am only 13 weeks, I sure am ready for this baby to be out! I beleive its going to be a long hard ride. Speaking of Hank Junior and bad country music, did I mention I went to a George Jones concert on Saturday night? Wow, somebody felt like a pregnant teenager. The next youngest person there was 70. But, the old possum hasn't lost his flair. He plugged his own brand of water, "White Lightening", and his tennessee sausages on his website. Ha. These pregnancy hormones kill me, but it must have been rubbing off, 'cause I was not the only one crying when he finished "He stopped loving her today". Bravo George. Now, if you could just get some help on that slide show during "Whose gonna fill their shoes".

Call me fat, but just make sure you call me.

No more morning sickness!
Could I be more excited? I feel like a person again, a very chubby person, but a person no less. My pants wont button and my Victoria Secret collection is about to be a part of the garbage collection. C'est la vie. Luckily, maternity clothes are fairly inexpensive as well as comfy and roomy.
The puppies are doing great. Maggie is a great little mommy and the pups are getting cuter by the second. More pictures to come. I am waiting until their eyes open!

More good news.

My nurse called yesterday to confirm that all of my prenatal lab work came back normal. In all of the excitement, I totally forgot about it! Remember the needle stick from last week?
The Pups are so cute. They slept well last night, and Maggie will not leave them for a second. I had to force her to go outside and relieve herself this morning. I am in shock at how powerful her instincts are. It is truly amazing.
