October 5th came and went. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I knew you would be late. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I took this picture right before I went out shopping and to lunch that Saturday.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
The doctor scheduled my induction on October 10th. Your Dad and I took one more walk around the neighborhood with Lulu the night before and I made him take me to Marshalls to buy one final decoration for your nursery at 9pm. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He knew I wouldn't be able to sleep until it was done. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the morning of October 10th, we woke up and got Dunkin Donuts on the way to the hospital. Your Dad forgot my hash browns. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We were so excited we forgot to check in at the hospital and were sent back downstairs. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was given Pitocin and Daddy and I walked the halls to try and get things moving! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We still hadn't decided on a middle name so we knew we had to choose, we stopped and talked to nurses to ask them to weigh in. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We had a few names but decided to wait until you were born to make the final call. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The doctor broke my water and then the contractions started! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They were intense. I asked for the epidural but it only worked on one side. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had to have a second epidural but this one worked. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Daddy was excited to have his hand back and said when the epidural started to work, I turned to the nurses and said, "just so you know, I feel REALLY good right now".</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Around 4:30 the doctor came in and when your Dad asked what the next step was, he shrugged and said to me, "want to push?" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Things got real, real quick! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
28 minutes later, you were born! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your Gigi and Poppi and Nana and Poppy arrived at the hospital right when you were born. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The hospital played a nursery rhyhme over the loudspeaker of the entire hospital to let everyone know a you were here.
</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
When you arrived, your Dad turned and said to me, "Stella Olivia?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then your Gigi tried to run past the nurses to meet you but was stopped and had to wait for her visitor's pass.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Having your Grandparents there made everything perfect. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And so our life with you began...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved being pregnant. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved feeling you kick inside me, I loved eating whatever I wanted.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved watching my belly grow and thinking about what you would be like, how you would look, and sound. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And now I love being your Mom, seeing you grow everyday. </div>

I think 'nesting' is in full gear. I finally finished a project 2 years in the making.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A gallery wall going up our stairs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was really simple and I wish I would have bit the bullet and done it sooner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's how I got it done. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 1. Buy your picture frames. Take to Pinterest for inspiration. I ended up buying the IKEA Ribba frame in 3 different sizes. Word of warning, the longest part of the this project is putting the wire on the back of the frames to hang. If you are going with Ikea frames to save some cash, this is the trade off. Also the largest size frame I purchased fits an 11 1/2 x 11 1/2 picture. Who makes that? No one. So I have to order a print off of Etsy to fill this one. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 2. Trace each frame with newspaper and cut out a 'mock' frame. This is the most genius idea ever. Takes some time to cut out the paper but just do it in steps. One weekend I bought the frames, the next I traced out the paper, one weekend I put the wires on the back the frames... you get the idea and it now makes sense why this project took two years. Ok I'm exaggerating a bit on the time frame but I'm just protecting you from 'project gallery wall' burnout .
You're Welcome. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 3. Order appropriate pictures sizes and prepare frames (dreaded wiring). You will need wire cutters for this if you use Ikea frames. The wire they give you is about 5 feet long for each frame. If you find yourself cursing out Ikea during this process, don't worry it's totally normal. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 4. Hang your paper frames with painters tape on the area where you will be displaying your gallery wall. Rearrange about 10 times, remove yourself from room, go back, assess, rearrange another 10 times and then give in because you can't look at it even one more time.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZsT0CYcYNNUivN3g9Tp706IvMvft8gQyEFv-lVH2EKvwkEEMQCBcoNrjXBnZ3IBolygr9FIe_b6Q0f4pysfmYoLFysUK2SojZ8x_HNemc800CRz7BSQ3HhcjoHu730HyEAl9FxY0Is1lx/s640/blogger-image-1627840599.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZsT0CYcYNNUivN3g9Tp706IvMvft8gQyEFv-lVH2EKvwkEEMQCBcoNrjXBnZ3IBolygr9FIe_b6Q0f4pysfmYoLFysUK2SojZ8x_HNemc800CRz7BSQ3HhcjoHu730HyEAl9FxY0Is1lx/s640/blogger-image-1627840599.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Step 5. Ahh, the most satisfactory of them all. Actually hanging your pictures! Push nail in middle of paper frame to make small hole, remove paper frame and hammer in nail. Hang frame.
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
VOILA. I'm still waiting for a few pictures I ordered from Snapfish, but overall..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Mission Accomplished.

Hubs apparently has no shame in playing the 'pregnancy card'. Found this lovely note when we got back to the car after he dropped me off at a restaurant to find parking. Kicker is he found parking in a church parking lot. <br />

Purchased this lovely little mobile from Etsy for above the crib. I have been told I'm not allowed to put anything heavy hanging over the crib. I won't say by who but it starts with an H and ends with an UBS. <br />

Slowly, and more slowly the nursery is coming together. My OCD has kicked into overdrive so this lady needs to see some action and soon. Things have been ordered but need to arrive or be put together... The clocks a tickin. <br />

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
On your birthday, I think it's appropriate to tell you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
even though it stings a little coming from my lips</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
are </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
usually</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
always....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
RIGHT</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(most of the time)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay 80% of the time</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Okay 90, 90% is my max</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Maybe 95)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just thought you should hear it</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
as much as I have fought you about it over the years</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ARGH.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Love you so much Mom.</div>

I am lucky enough to call you my </div>

So I may have made this Cannoli Dip from Mama Basirico's recipe book for </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
my friend's Surprise Party this weekend</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And it may have been a hit. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I also may have bailed on a Super Bowl party, and watched 'Girls' instead</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Very wise decision on my part</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(do you see my Vday decor on the mantle?)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Survey says you should probably make this dip for Valentines Day for your significant other. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Much easier than the cake pops I attempted to make this weekend as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Are you worried I'm getting to be a chubster with all this baking?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
You probably should be.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
My clothes all smell like a camp fire </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The scale has tipped in the wrong direction </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I overdosed on birthday cake and bubbly </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I may have fibbed about my birthday and was included in on a stranger's 50th birthday champagne toast at the restaurant we went to for dinner</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My wallet is aching from my over expensive but completely amazing massage</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Despite it all, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Did I tell y'all the news that I have a doppleganger?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was brought to our attention by one of the hubster's friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was all excited because one of my favorite past times with the hubs is figuring out who people's celebrity doppelgangers are, particularly dogs to humans. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(Like Hub's German Shepard looks like George Clooney)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know super weird. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hubs is pretty terrible at this game and declares everyone a different ethnicity to our friend Lexie. Example: "Look at that girl! She looks like an Asian Lexie!" You get the idea. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyways! Back to my doppleganger, I was hoping it would be an A-list celeb or a Victoria Secret model (hey a girl can dream) but instead it's this chick....</div>

Do you see it? I kind of do. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
She's the B-list celeb that can be watched as the annoying Ex Girlfriend in cinematic master pieces such as 'Shes Out of My League'</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Never heard of it?</div>

We were super pumped about it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Brother impressed us with all of his knowledge on the tides, birds, fish, and all the history of the place we call home. </div>

I got to go home this past weekend to attend this little angel's Baptism. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Did I tell y'all I'm the Godmother? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cartwheels ensued over that one. </div>

We currently have no power again due to Frankenstorm....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hmm this feels familiar.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was the same weekend last year we had no power due to the October snow storm. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why did I leave the South again?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below is the Hub's Hurricane Supply. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Roses to the fact that he purchased not one but two boxes of Peanut Butter Captain Crunch </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(that boy truly loves me as he knows PBCC is my kryptonite)<br />Thorns to the fact that most of the food he bought requires electrical appliances such as a stove.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But let's revert back to the fact that I have two boxes of PB Captain Crunch to eat and all is right again.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Cool evenings with the windows open, snuggling under blankets </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crackling fires </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yummy colored leaves changing on every tree </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Pumpkin - everything! Coffee, recipes, scents,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Boots, scarves and sweaters </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The apple fritter stand </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Good tv back on (finally!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Holidays peeking around the corner</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
White Pumpkins decorating my house </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
(I'm clearly OD-ing on pumpkins)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I heart fall. </div>

Guess whose visiting me this week? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can you see those two little noggins in the photo? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We visited the Mystic Aquarium on Wednesday and met this White Beluga Whale that seemed to be just as interested in us as we were with him. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those cute little faces even make sea creatures smile. </div>
