Paint, a Shower, and Hunny Pots

March 3 and 4 Mike and his dad slaved away painting Baby G's room. The result is breathtaking! It is a lovely shade of green with a bit of blue in it. They did a great job. We cannot wait for the little one to sleep (among other baby things) in his painted chambre.

While the Greto men were stretching and straining away with paint, beer, and pasta fagiole and ACC basketball, I was in Tampa where my dear cousins (Heather, Scarlette, and Suzanne) and best friend (Katie) threw me a baby shower. We had a great time and my belly is officially 42 inches around! Pretty amazing! This is the latest picture from the weekend since so many of you have asked for a shot of the belly. You can also see a bit of the bedroom in the photo.

But please do not feel badly for the Greto men. Although they were working very hard while I was partying in sunny FL, last weekend me and Mike's Aunt Janet turned her sewing room into a "sweat shop" to turn out the lovely bed clothes for the little guy's bedding. And... the Hunny Pots are in alignment! Yes, we worked our fingers to the bone and had a couple needle injuries -- no stains on the hunny pots.

So with many thanks to all who have helped, cared, and LOVED us through this process, we say THANK YOU and Baby G says Thank You too. His thank yous are more like little kicks and squirms from within. But he loves each of you!

Until next time... Gretos out!
