Hood Rat

In my never ending nesting, my house will never be this clean and organized again, I found this picture. It has to be from when I was in eighth grade, Taylor was in sixth and Mollie (the little boyish looking thug) was in first grade or kindergarten. It was to good to pass up!!! Enjoy the laugh!!!

Still Pregnant!!

Just wanted to update everyone on the status of Baby Hutchinson. He/She is still hanging out, taking his/her precious little time getting here. When I went back to the doctor on Tuesday there was no change....not even in my weight (that is a good thing!!!). Sooo, we are in the hurry up and wait stage. As you know, neither of us are very patient people so this is driving us nuts!!!

I go back to the doctor on Tuesday, a day after my due date, if I haven't had the baby by then. The doctor said that we will talk about inducing if I haven't had the baby by Tuesday. Until then, we are just hanging out and waiting.

Just FYI

and not to entice anyone to come see us when the baby is born....because I teach in the wonderful state of Alabama and my retirement is invested in somehow tied to Robert Trent Jones Golf Course I get excellent discounts here. It is a great resort, half way between the hospital and the house. Not only would you be getting to see us and the baby, but you could enjoy a relaxing get away at a Motel 6 price!

There are specific days, but it pretty much covers the next two weeks! Just let me know if you would like more info. Just wanted to pass it along!

Add this one to my list!

As most of you know I am not the most graceful person in the world. Add a large belly and wow my coordination goes right out the window. To be honest, I am amazed I haven't done something like this yet.



Anyway, as we were leaving to go over to a friends house yesterday to cookout and hangout for the Memorial Day weekend I decided to do this to myself!!!







Along with this.....




How you may ask??? I stepped out the door going to the basement to go to the car and missed/slipped the first step. Instead of falling backwards, I fell forwards, kinda in a timber type motion and down the steps I went. I stopped at the landing, by catching myself with my hands on the wall. I ended up on all fours. Somehow I managed not to hit my belly in the process, but I beat the mess out of my knees and ankles. Today I am finding spots that didn't hurt yesterday, and feel like I have been in a car wreck!!!


I called the doctor to see if I needed to watch for anything and let them know that my graceful self busted my rear end. They wanted me to come in for a stress test to monitor the baby for a few hours. The baby was doing great. It fared much better than I did! Needless to say it made for quite an adventurous day!!!

Nursery Completed....

Almost, we still need a baby!!! Mollie came over and brought the bedskirt and other curtains. She also painted to canvases to go with the bedskirt. Things have really come together quite nicely if I do say so myself. Everything is ready and we are just waiting.

I went to the doctor today and not much change. Just a wait and see game now!

Here a the latest pictures of the completed nursery!!

Happy Birthday to Dad!!!

Today is Dad's 59th birthday!!! Just wanted to send out a quick Happy Birthday and if you see him don't forget to tell him!

I laugh everytime I think of this....

My parents, who have never been big fans of TV have a new obsession...Dancing with the Stars. They watch it religiously, and TiVo it when they are not at home. They discuss who should be voted off and who should stay and whatever you do....DO NOT CALL THE HOUSE FROM 7:00 - 8:00 ON MONDAY NIGHTS!!!! It is such a big deal that Mom, made Jeremy and I watch it when she was over here, then called Dad to discuss the show!

I crack up at listening to the two of them talking about "Dances". Maybe for their anniversary this year I should spring for Ballroom dancing classes. So at the next event or get together, if everyone is dancing, don't let Lou and Richard fool you, they have been watching "Dances" and should be professionals by now!!!
