Spare a prayer

I just found out that my Grandma fell last night in her apartment- splitting her forehead open (requiring stitches) and suffering a concussion. She spent the night in the hospital and was discharged today.

The bad news: this was her third fall in a month so she will probably lose her apartment and have to move into the nursing home. If you could spare a prayer for her, it would be greatly appreciated.

We're thinking about you and love you, Grams! xo

Headin to Georgia Y'all

Me and Lil P are fixin' to head to Georgia next week- I'm being sent on a work trip and typically wouldn't mind a trip down South (I'm hoping Lil P cooperates and we have a relaxing week!).

I've been to Savannah before and loved it! The last time I got to feast at 'The Lady and Sons' and even got to meet Miss Paula Deen herself and her hubby! It was such a great time, and you all know I'm a sucker for a Celebrity Sighting. I've got my camera ready to go- just in case!

So while I'm noshing on Georgia peaches and enjoying those 80 degree temps, I hope y'all don't have a snowstorm! Bless your heart! (I'm just practicing- that's Southern for 'you're so dear'.)

Have a good week everyone! :)

Quote for the day

"FAITH makes things possible, not easy."

~Amen!

Recession? What recession?

Last Saturday I met my mama at the Tanger Outlet Mall in Williamsburg. I was definitely in need of a little retail therapy, but was trying to keep in mind that I'm on financial lockdown (bad combo, I know).

I don't know why but I was surprised when we got to the mall- it was packed! Every store was brimming with eager shoppers- even Coach (!) which I always admire from a distance. The $300 purses were flying off the shelves- uh, tell me, what do you do for a living and how can I do it?

But the highlight of the trip was my very first time shopping at Motherhood! My mom bought me my very first maternity outfit- they even had cute little 'fake' bellies you could Velcro on to see how you would look further along. I'm just in the bloated/borderline fat stage right now....patiently waiting for my Buddha belly to grow!

We finished off the day by having supper at the ever fabulous 'Pizza Haus'. It was such a great day spent with my mom! Thanks mom- can't wait for our next shopping excursion! xo

Baby Love!

We've had a whirlwind couple of weeks, taking in the news, sharing with family and friends. There's always the thought- what if you tell too early?

I'm learning to trust with pure blind faith- that all that is meant to be, will be. And for a born planner, that takes a feat of strength! But am finding myself calm and relaxed most of the time, when not praying to the porcelain God. Come on 2nd trimester!

Here are some fun pics taken over the past few weeks~

In true 'daughter-of-a-baker' fashion, the cake that broke the news to my work peeps:

Starting the book collection! Thanks Jen and Burt!This is a wardrobe must-have! Thanks Jim!Cutest lil trinket! Thanks Dave and Dana!

Also many thanks for the cards, prayers, well-wishes... we couldn't do this without our amazing family and friends! xo

Believe in Miracles!

Introducing... Baby "Little Peanut" Wallace! Measuring 7w3d, heart rate 170 and due November 1st!

We are still in shock and loving every minute of having little peanut with us. 2009 really is going to be OUR year! xo

Now that's something to smile about

Okay- I just have to give a shout out to my favorite morning radio program- Big Ken and Colleen on http://www.star1025.com/

I was tuning in the other day and caught a segment called 'Good News.' AMEN! It's about time we start hearing about all the good news that goes on in today's society- I don't need to hear about the stock market dropping or job losses or who beat up/killed who. What I do need to hear is some good news! I was all over this and even though the segment only lasted a couple minutes, I was bawling by the end. Hormones? Nope- just a healthy dose of Good News!

So thanks Ken and Colleen! And keep up the good work!
