Tommy and I are godparents to two twin girls. We love them to death and would do anything for them. However, we do not want the parents of the twins to be the godparents of our child. Instead we would love for our friend in the Air Force to be the godfather (he is single so there is no godmother, yet). Do you think that is bad of us? He does not yet know that we want him to be the godfather and the parents of the twins don't know we don't want them to be. I'm not really sure how to go about this situation because I don't want to cause any hurt feelings or problems. I suppose we have quite a while before all this has to be figured out but its just something that was bothering me this morning.
Tomorrow I will be 8 weeks! So excited. I am going to start taking pictures of myself and the belly (though I don't have one yet) and put them in a scrapbook along with the ultrasound pics and everything else baby! :) I'm not sure if I should do weekly or just monthly 'til I start to show? Decisions, decisions. Another decision is that Tommy and I both agree that we like the red nursery better than the one with all the colors, so even though everyone else voted on the colorful one I think we are going to do the red and white. If not then there will def be a LOT of red. I guess its kinda funny but I'm not really a red kinda person. Why am I stuck on red then? Babies like the color red, really they prefer it to any other so rather than do the traditional blue or pink (or yellow) I like red. I'm pretty much set on painting it red but may leave the bed set and things. A variety of color isn't a bad thing.
My birthday is Friday and I am really hoping that I get some more of the wonderful maternity shorts I acquired from Kohls. They are totally my favorite thing to wear! They are comfortable and you can dress them up or down. I will probably wear nothing but those types of shorts (and pants when the winter comes) for the rest of my pregnancy. I was going to take the advice of my friend and wear dresses and skirts but lets face it, they are not nearly as comfortable and I'm a nanny. The last thing I need is those kids under my skirt!
Really excited about selling my jewelry as well! Cant wait to get the pics up! I am also going to sell my prom and homecoming dresses (and prob some other high school clothes I cannot fit into). All proceeds will go to help Baby Bean's nursery along. Especially since we have NOTHING for the nursery. After the nursery is finished then it will prob go into a college fund (if not then it will be diaper fund).
Its kinda crazy how a baby can consume everything I do and right now its the size of a blueberry! Still cant wait! Hoping we get the money for the 3D/4D ultrasound, if so we will be doing that as soon as we can schedule it and hopefully find out the gender! :) Ok, I'm probably boring you to death with all this. I'll leave you alone . . . for now! :)

My Weekend
I spent my entire day Saturday with my mom for Mother's Day because she had to work on Sunday.
Saturday was the Komen Atlanta Race for the Cure. My mom and I went and had a blast. I stayed the night with her Friday because we planned on leaving her house no later than six in the morning (and we did). It only took us about an hour and fifteen minutes to get there, so we were a little early but that meant we got a great parking spot! We did the 5k (3.1 miles) which started at 8:30. There were over 17,000 people there! What an awesome turn out! We also saw some really cute shirts! We made our own so they were kinda plain but we liked them especially for having done them at the last minute! We finished the race in exactly one hour of the start! We walked the whole way and had every intention of power-walking but with all the people there it was very hard. Kudos to those who ran/jogged it! I think she was a little worried that I was gonna over do it but I stayed with her the whole time and felt great!
We left there and went to the ball field. My youngest sister, Katie-Boo, and my brother, Andrew, play softball for a local church in the summer and have a blast doing it. My other sister, Megan, is coaching Katie-Boo this year, her first year coaching. She needed a little help so I did what I could in all the chaos.
After we left the ball field we went back to their house for some lunch. I gave Mama her Mother's Day gift, it was a jewelry set I had made and knew she liked. She was super happy and even confessed that she had intended to buy it from me. I felt really good about my choice! She put it on and it sorta matched the shirts we wore at the race but not quite. Lol.
After lunch we went to my Granny's new house (where Tommy, myself and Baby Bean are moving) and painted. I, of course, started on the baby's room. I was this dark blue so I had to put a white base coat on it before we can actually paint it. Then I started on another room. All the while Mama painted the trim in the kitchen, living room and in the hallway. By the time we were done with all we were getting done for the day we were so pooped we could have just laid in the floor and slept, but we didn't because we knew we were having an awesome dinner back at her house. And we did, steak, rolls, salad, baked potatoes and sweet potatoes. After dinner I said my good-byes as she was getting ready for bed (she went kinda early). I slept 'til 10:00 the next morning!
Sunday Tommy and I got up and chilled for a bit. We knew it would be a while 'til we got to see his mom because she goes to church from one to three (so weird). We got a bite to eat and went to see her. We spent the rest of the day there, where everyone in the house but myself and Dillon (Tommy's cousin) slept. We left there and went to Wal-Mart to get some groceries for my dad, came home and went to bed. I honestly don't know how he slept after napping at his mom's but he did.
Today is Tommy's birthday so I am gonna have to go to the store and get him a little something. I was so busy this weekend I couldn't find the time and he still hasn't told me what he wants! So I really have no clue what to get! Guess I'm going in blind!
