Treasures of the Trip

THE ORCHARDS
Along the drive from Alabama to Georgia, we discovered this adorable little shop.
THE ORCHARDS has tooth hurting sweet pralines and candy. They also have the cutest little gifts to buy. I found a vintage looking apron that I love. They had the candles from Oprah's Favroite Things list! Thank goodness my Mom needed a bathroom break! Or, we would have never found this shop!

RODGER'S BAR-B-QUE
I can not explain in words how delicious the food was from Rodger's Bar-B-Que. My Mom had sweet tea. And I had a bottle of coca cola in a glass bottle. We took the food on the road and enjoyed every bite. Bar-B-Que sandwiches, hush puppies, and fried green tomatoes is what got us from Georgia to Alabama one delicious bite at a time. While driving through the south and eating this food, I honestly felt like I was in one of my favorite movies, (FRIED GREEN TOMATOES).
Some of my favorite memories of this trip was of course the driving that my Mom and I did. We saw cotton fields in Georgia, big beautiful trees in Alabama, and lakes along the highway in South Carolina. A few times we found ourselves lost in the deep south. But, I have never had more fun being lost.

Baby "Bean" Gardner first ultrasound

I guess I jinxed myself with the second to last post. I was bragging on how "easy" this pregnancy has been. Well, the good news is that I have yet to lose my lunch, breakfast, or any meal with this baby. The bad news is that I have been losing a lot of blood and having sharp pains in my belly. This was day 4 of those same symptoms, and I decided to head to a DR to make sure everything was okay. The great news is that I saw the baby's heartbeat for the first time and it was strong! And the cervix looks perfect. Also, I went to one of the best OB Women's health centers in the west. The Mary Birch Women and Baby center is amazing! Their staff was wonderful! I was treated by a perionatologist (Dr who deals with high risk pregnancies) who just "happened" to be on staff that day. I felt very reassured after leaving that I had received the best treatment possible. (Shauna - I thought of you the whole time) I realized how blessed I am to always have such great Dr...

Decorating the boys room

Image
I have some decisions to make. For the first 4-6 months Zach will sleep in his cradle in the master bedroom. But then after that, Ben and Zach will be sharing a room. We do qualify for a 3 bedroom. However, I have no desire to move any time soon. So it's decorating time! For the past 3 years Benjamin's room has been sports theme. Dan and I both love sports. That is no secret. However, I am a little burned out of sports theme. And Ben's crib bedding is stained, ripped, and faded. So, I need to decide on Zach's bedding and a new set for Ben. So I need your input! My mission if I wish to accept it, is to choose a new theme for the room without breaking the bank. I also have to keep in mind that whatever we choose for Zach, will be with him for the next 3 or more years. First option - This is my favorite. However Dan insists that is is way too girly and will give Zach a "complex". ;) What do you think? Too girly? We would just have the basic bedding. Not the wall...
