Well...I have 3 days in a row off and then into 7 of our last 13 games of the season! I cannot believe how fast The Braves season has flown by!! We are still hoping that Lillian holds her arrival until after 9/26 :-) She is supposed to join until 10/9...
Lee has given me strict orders to rest and relax on my 3 days off. Lay on the couch with my feet up. For those who REALLY know me, know that I would love nothing more than a Lifetime Sunday, but with only 5 weeks left (if that), there are some things that need to get done (damn those articles in Parents magazine!)...like prep some meals for when we come home from the hospital...so I am making some sauces, some quick fix meals that involve mixing in rice or pasta and a meatloaf. I also realized that we have not washed ANYTHING! Again, for those of you who REALLY know me...know I rarely do laundry! I guess you can say I am officially NESTING! So the relaxing day my amazing husband wanted me to have is not so restful! He is so wonderful!! There is always tomorrow :-)
Gotta run...Spaghetti Squash is done! Time to get the meatloaf in the oven!

THANKS RACHAEL & PAM!
One more quick post for today...I wanted to THANK Rachael and Pam for hosting a kick ass shower for Lillian and I a few weeks ago! The 3 of us have been great friends since we were 19/20? And, well, let's just say that we are not so young anymore :-)
Both of y'all (and Lauren too) did such a wonderful job with the theme, the games and the food! Especially the Guthries Chicken Tenders!!! Mama G...thanks for opening up your home!! WOO HOO!!
THANKS!!!
Love y'all!

We are having a BABY!
After the shower a few weeks ago, Lee asked me "has it hit you yet that we are having a baby in 8 weeks?" Other than feeling her move, knowing that she is growing inside of me....the answer was a straight up NO!
I thought to myself....There is still so much stuff to do! We have to get her room ready, go through all the gifts, organize her clothing, buy supplies (right?), put together all of the equipment, get bottles, get her room ready, buy supplies, go through all the gifts, get her room ready,buy supplies...AND for me, most importantly, GET THROUGH THE END OF THE BRAVES BASEBALL SEASON 9/21...I thought, oh my God, I will just die if I go into labor at The Braves Chop House!! I felt like a my brain was a word jumble all of the sudden!
Not to mention I feel like a beached whale with the CANKELS and the ginormous belly Lillian and I have created!! I have entered the stage in the game where it 's pretty much uncomfortable to sit, stand, lay down, or do anything b/c my diaphragm gets crushed by my stomach on a regular basis, my ankles swell up to large sausages if I stand for 20 seconds etc...all of you mom's know what I am talking about, no need to go on :-)
After our doctor's appointment this week, I was told that I was measuring on the high side of average and that we are looking at roughly an 8 pound baby, at least. I said OH MY! To which the doctor reminded me that 8 pounds is still within the average range...I went to work after the doctor's appointment and as I was walking in, one of the security guards stopped me and asked me about the baby. I shared with her what the doctor just told me about the "high end of average" size I should expect...her response was "Must have been a man doctor telling you 8 pounds was average, no female would say that"...I laughed because it was a male doctor!! Crazy! So....we are looking at a good size baby...I guess that's why I feel so large!!
Anyhoo...gotta run...it's my day off! I am going to get my nails done and depending on the size of my feet, maybe my toes too!
Hugs to all!!!
Love y'all,
Mindy, Lee & Lillian!

Our first Blog!
Well...I think that my myspace page is the closest thing I have to the blog...but not everyone is able to view it, so here we are...on the tech wave to share the last 8 weeks of our lives before they change forever!!
We are expecting our little angel to join us in roughly 8 weeks. There was a shower yesterday to celebrate everyone's excitement for her arrival...Rachael and Pam were such great hostesses!!
I will probably not post daily, or even weekly until after Lillian Claire arrives simply because I plan on working up to the end of baseball season...the last Braves game is 9/21. And Lee...well, he also has a full time job AND is nesting like crazy every free moment he has in our new home as he eagerly awaits his little girl coming into this world!
If I may say so...my husband is truly amazing! We just moved into our new home a month ago and he has totally transformed it from the stale old people's house into a warm, welcoming home...He is the most amazing man and I love him to death!!
Once I receive the pics from the shower, I will upload and share with everyone! Until then...mark as a favorite and check back weekly to see what's going on in the Pevzner-Downer household!
Hugs to everyone!!
