I can't believe it's June already and only 4 weeks until Baby Hayes arrives! I know they say that second pregnancies fly by, but these 9 (or is 10?) months have been surreal. Three of my pregnant friends have recently given birth and I'm being reminded how difficult those first few weeks are....the endless nights, the blurry days, the constant feeding, piling laundry, and overall discomfort from the birth itself. I know it's all worth it and it is only temporary, but I am becoming a little anxious at the idea of doing it all over again...with a toddler in tow no less! The first time down that road, you don't have any clue what to expect, so you take things as they come and deal with them along the way. This time, I know all too well...hence the anxiety. For my friends out there who have crossed that bridge already and made it through, please remind me when I'm still in the midst of all of it that I will get through it, it's only temporary, and to try and enjoy it if I can! I may look at you with a blank stare as if I don't believe you, but I need to hear it....it just might save my sanity.
Other than being terrified at the idea of how much my life is about to change, I'm just rolling along with life as a mother, wife, and full-time employee. Gray is getting bigger and crazier by the day, repeating tons of words, learning his colors, counting (even if it's only to 5!), and completely fascinated by the movies "Cars" and "Finding Nemo". We bought a sand/water table for him this weekend and he LOVES playing with that. I so wish we could take him to the beach this summer but I think his trip to Mexico over Christmas will have been his last until next summer. Sigh.
We had a great weekend with beautiful weather here in Memphis. Friday afternoon I took Gray out to the pool while Adam played golf, then we stayed and visited with some friends and their little ones until it was time to go home and get dinner together. I was so looking forward to curling up with Adam and the dogs to watch "Twilight", the next movie in my Netflix queue, but I think I was the only one that enjoyed it even the slightest. Should I be bothered by the fact that I enjoyed a movie that is targeted at 13 year olds? Maybe it's the hormones. Saturday morning we headed out to the Thomases house for Lewis' 2nd birthday party. It was so much fun to see the whole crew and I just cannot stop laughing at the image of Gray and Airey wrestling in the jumpathon. I'm talking head-locking, ear-pulling, all-out wrestling! But boys will be boys! I got some of it on video so I'll have to upload it. Adam and I had Gray's favorite babysitter over on Saturday night so that we could head over to Angie's house for her surprise 30th birthday party. I've been to many a surprise party in my life, but never have I seen someone so genuinely surprised! The look on her face was absolutely priceless. Happy 30th Angie! And Sunday we played it pretty low-key, heading to the pool in the late afternoon and making a yummy goat cheese and spinach lasagna for dinner.
Adam is out of town until late tonight on his last work trip before Hayes' arrival. I've been crossing my fingers (and my legs) hoping that I don't go into preterm labor since everyone I know is out of town right now, leaving me with no one to take me to the hospital or take care of Gray and the dogs. So far, so good. Baby Hover was born last night, so congrats to Lee and Ben on a beautiful, healthy baby boy! I'm sure Katie will be next and then it's our turn!
Until next time, much love from the Pattersons.

May in Memphis
As always, it's been too long since I last posted so I'll try to catch up on what's been going on throughout this crazy month of May! I had a little bit of a scare in the early part of the month and ended up in the hospital to make sure all was right with Hayes. It turns out I had a little virus and Hayes was feeling it too, but we both felt better by the end of the week and learned our lesson about pushing ourselves too hard...or at least I did. The weekend before was Artafactor, our biggest event of the year, so that explains a lot. Aside from the good news that Hayes was growing strong (already over 4 lbs), we got to see her on a 4D ultrasound, which was like nothing I could have imagined! We clearly saw her beautiful red lips, cute little nose (just like Billy P and Uncle Andrew's), and head full of hair. This one definitely doesn't look like me or my side of the family, so I think it will be so much fun to see her when she finally arrives in about 7 weeks!
My second mother's day was so wonderful knowing that I'll soon be a mom to two beautiful little children and was able to share it with my wonderful husband, beautiful son, Adam's parents and his brother and sister-in-law who are also expecting a little girl (Greer). We had a great brunch at "Just for Lunch" and I got the royal treatment all day, thanks to my boys!
I also want to send a big thank you to my friends Sarah Ella and Angie and my sister-in-law, Lauren who gave Hayes a beautiful shower last weekend. It was so fun to catch up with all the girls and Hayes got tons of lovely little girly things.....too much! It was also fun to have my Mom come into town to help us celebrate Hayes' upcoming arrival. Thanks to her and my Dad, we have a brand new double Bob ready to go once she comes! Thanks to everyone for all of their generosity and kindness!
There was one person we really missed at the shower for Hayes, but she had a great reason for not being there....she was about to give birth to her own little baby, James Carter Lynch! Congratulations Matt and Amy on your 9 lb baby boy! We can't wait to meet him and are so excited for you guys!
Gray had his 18 month check-up at the doctor's office this month and he is still in the 75% for height and 50% for weight, so I guess the string bean physique he has acquired since his first birthday is here to stay! He also had another parent teacher conference at school to wrap up the year and we were pleased to learn that he has continued to develop and learn at a faster pace than what is average for his age, though he still has a ways to go on the sharing, patience, and problem solving. He also had his first bout of "mommy envy" when my friend Angie brought her two boys over to our house the other day and I fed and held one of them for a little while. I guess we are getting a glimpse of what he will have to endure when his little sister arrives, but I still think it will be easier for him to transition into having another sibling now rather than at an older age. We'll see! He is as wild as ever, hurling himself onto pieces of furniture and jumping right off of them. He looks like an abused child with bruises from head to toe, red marks all over his face, and the lingering remnant of a black eye. He's repeating much of what he hears which has really been an eye opener for us. No more adult talk around the parrot! He loves to call people by their names, especially Adam, and is getting much better about calling the animals by their rightful names instead of the sounds that they make. When we went to the zoo last Sunday, he actually identified a few of his favorites....monkey, bear, duck, etc. Sadly, his favorite "animal" at the zoo is still the only one that isn't breathing....the Carousel horse. But, he enjoys it so much and I adore watching him have that much fun.
Due to what I can only refer to as "Baby Brain" I somehow mixed up my parents anniversary with Jackson (our Boston Terrier)'s birthday and wound up missing the big day. So, I want to send a big congrats to my parents who have been married 31 years! What an amazing accomplishment in this day and age and something I know Adam and I are aspiring for ourselves.
Last night my oldest friend Beverly had her baby girl, Hannah Grace, at 36 weeks. Little Hannah is only 3 lbs 7 oz but going strong. We are all praying that Bev and Hannah get better and come home soon! Love you Bev!
Last night we headed over to Chickasaw for our second family night, which Gray loved so we'll have to make it more of a regular event. He had so much fun watching all of the other kids in the bouncer, eating his favorite foods (fries, chicken fingers and chocolate chip cookies), and riding around the golf course in a cart on his Daddy's lap. I can't think of a better way to spend a Thursday night!
Yea! Today is Friday and the start of a long weekend. So far, the weather is not looking too promising so there may be no pool for Gray and no golf for Adam, but we're looking forward to some fun family time either way. Today I'm catching up with some of my girlfriends over lunch and tomorrow night we're headed over to our friends house, the Higdons, so Gray can play with his girlfriend, Annie. For Memorial Day, we're going to the Wrights' for a cookout where there will be lots of playmates there for Gray too.....Carter, Mary Kate, Ethan and more!
That's all for now but I'll try to do better next time and not let it go so long in between posts. Until then.....
Love,

It is Monday morning and I am taking a much-needed day off from work after a long couple of weeks of planning for ArtsMemphis' annual Artafactor Affair. God answered our prayers and kept the rain at bay for all but about 15 minutes on Friday night so it turned out to be a lovely evening and a successful event. Since Friday night was such a late one for me, we stayed pretty close to home all day Saturday and then had Lauren and Andrew over for dinner that night...can't beat homemade BBQ and my famous blue cheese potato salad! It was fun to catch up with them and Gray, as always, had a great
time showing off all of his newly aquired moves which include hitting the golf ball off the tee with both hands, climbing on top of the furniture and counters (see black eye picture below), spinning in circles until he passes out, and throwing his food across the room when he's had enough....good times. We are working hard to deter the food throwing by introducing the "naughty chair" but it will take lots of patience on all of our parts to get through this phase.
Speaking of phases, he's also going through another teething phase as the poor thing gets all 4 canine teeth at once. No wonder he's not eating well! We went for his 18 month check-up last week and he had lost a pound from the previous week but is still in the 50-75% for height and weight so we're not worried.....for now at least. With a slimmer figure and a new shorter haircut, he's really starting to look like a big boy, unfortunately, and I already miss the chunky little flip-haired baby that seemingly was there just yesterday.
But as he grow come so many other fun things like kisses, hugs, laughter, calling everyone by their names, and interacting with us in more meaningful ways. Still, it will be fun to have another baby around and it looks like it will only be about another 8 weeks until little Hayes makes her debut! I'm 30 weeks today and will have a scheduled section a week early. She's still inside of me but already has her Daddy wrapped around her little finger. Case in point, he hung a chandelier in her nursery all by himself yesterday, almost giving him a heart attack during the installation and surely posing a constant risk of head injury every time he walks into her room in the middle of the night. He says it was for me, but I'm not convinced. Here's a pic of the princesses' new addition.
That's about all that has been going on with the Pattersons over the last week or so. Adam will get back on the road this week, but only for one night, and we're looking forward to spending Mother's Day with his side of the family this weekend. Until next time, take care!

Another month has flown by
I can't believe how fast time is flying by......Gray is 18 months old and in his new big boy room, I'm in my third trimester (28 weeks) and Baby Hayes is growing fast, and her nursery is almost complete!
We have had a fun month filled with lots of firsts for Gray and fun memories to boot. Linda and I took Gray down to Cedar Hills Farm in Hernando for his first picture with the Easter Bunny, who he took to surprisingly well considering its a life-sized rodent. He also got to visit a petting zoo, take a hayride out to his first Easter Egg Hunt, and ride a pony for the first time. We've got a real cowboy on our hands!
The next day, we headed out to the Cole's for another fun Easter Egg Hunt and while he was a little more enamored with the ducks in the nearby pond, he had a great time....especially once he got to drive Airey's golf cart. More importantly, I satisfied my craving for Rice Krispy treats and was really excited about how well the egg and bunny shaped creations that I made for the crowd turned out. Yum!
The following weekend was Easter and we made the long and dreaded trip down to Gulfport, suprised at how well Gray did (mostly thanks to his Aunt Mal's entertaining antics). We had a good time visiting with friends and family at the crawfish boil on Friday night and Gray got to try his hand again at the ole Easter Egg Hunt, thanks to Mal's friend Amy who introduced him to the joy of money-filled eggs. Oh yes, he's already a fan of the green!
Saturday morning he attended yet ANOTHER Easter Egg Hunt at my parents church, St. Marks, and it was fun to see the friends I'd grown up with and their little ones. By this time, Gray was an all out pro at the hunt and me and my mom had a great time watching him! Easter Sunday mass was also very special as it was the first one in their new church that was built after Hurricane Katrina. It is so beautiful and I'm so proud of them for how far they've come as a congregation!
On Easter morning, Gray was delighted to see all the goodies that the Easter Bunny had left him and it was so much fun for us to see him really respond. This time last year I'm not even sure he noticed his Easter basket! My how times change....
We are glad to be back home in Memphis and had a busy weekend painting Hayes' nursery (see above) and celebrating Sophie and Ford's wedding with friends and family. We also heard some wonderful news about Hayes' and Grays' baby cousin....it's a girl! Congrats to Lauren and Andrew on a healthy little girl on the way! I am already so excited about all the fun times ahead. I have a work event tonight and a busy week as usual so until next time, take care!

It has been WAY too long since I've posted....nearly a month....and a LOT has happened on the Patterson front. The biggest news is that we found out we are having a litle girl! I'm so excited and terrified at the same time, but I know it will be a wonderful adventure for all of us. P was in town for the big day and she, Lovie, and Aunt Mal welcomed the news with a shopping bag full of pink to shower our baby girl with. I've always said I wasn't a "pastel kind of gal", but lately I can't get enough pink! I'm working on throwing in a splash (or a bucket) of petal pink color to the nursery to girl it up for her arrival and have had so much fun in the process. Even Adam has gotten "tickled pink" with our news and can't wait to buy her lots of girly things....the madness has just begun! We've also decided on a name for our little princess.....Olivia Hayes (we'll call her Hayes). Just 18 weeks until we meet her...can't wait!
Until yesterday, we were enjoying Spring-like weather here in Memphis, which Gray adored. We spent every afternoon outside with the neighborhood kids shooting basketball, swinging, and running around having fun. Now it's cold and rainy so we're all getting a little cabin fever. Adam's out of town until tonight but we're anxious for him to return and spend some time together as a family (and catch up on our Tivo shows). Last night, Aunt Mal met us for dinner at Chic-Fil-A (Gray's favorite place). As always, we had a blast and I'm not sure who was more entertaining to watch....Gray or Mallory! Gray got to eat french fries and chicken nuggets AND ice cream! Plus, Aunt Mal snagged a balloon for him which provided a LOT of entertainment on the drive home. Thanks Mal!
I'm 22 weeks pregnant and very ready (physically) for Hayes to arrive. The morning sickness has been replaced by sciatica and I'm about as tired as I've ever been. Her constant kicking is reassuring and I'm looking forward to our next doctor's appt on the 23rd to make sure all's well. Until then, I'm trying to keep the faith!
Looking forward to this weekend when our good friends, the Lynches, come in town. I'll post all about it next time, but until then, take care all!

We've had some great weather over the last few weeks and took advantage recently by going on a visit to the Memphis Zoo with our good friends and Gray's godparents, the Cole's, as well as Lovie and Papa. Gray had a great time simulating the animal sounds and playing chase with his godbrother Airey, but I think we had an even better time enjoying the fresh air and the company of good friends and family.
Adam has been busy traveling again, which is good for business but no fun for me and Gray. We miss him terribly when he's gone and will be excited to have him back home with us again tonight.
We celebrated Valentine's Day by going to a champagne brunch at Chickasaw Country Club while Lovie took Gray to the park and for a long walk. Then, Adam made dinner for me on Valentine's Day itself, which was so yummy. This baby has been asking for cherry crunch for a while now and finally got what it asked for! Thanks Adam!
We've been battling a cold, teething, and pink eye but hopefully by this weekend everyone will be back in tip top shape for P's visit. She's coming up this weekend and will be there for our big 20 week ultrasound when we find out what the gender of the baby is. My guess is "girl", but we'll see. Hey, I was right last time!
Gray is getting more and more verbal every day, now repeating most of what we say, which is cute but dangerous. When we tell him we love him, he blows us a kiss now, so I think he really understands what is being said too and I love that! His favorite words right now are "mine", "cheese", "Papa", and "juice". We're working on "please", but I have a feeling it's less about the pronunciation and more about his stubborness. I can't imagine where he gets that from.
Until next time,

Another low-key (but good) weekend
I'll be 17 weeks tomorrow and I think I'm finally (fingers crossed) starting to feel better! Unfortunately, I can't say the same for little Gray who has had a stomach bug since Friday. I know, I know....could I have a sicker child? The answer is yes so I'm thankful. I'll take all the stomach bugs, stuffy noses, and croupy coughs as long as it's nothing serious. Needless to say, our weekend was pretty uneventful as a result. We took him for a big boy haircut on Saturday and then to feed the ducks at Audobon Park. He definitely enjoyed the ducks more and is not a good salon customer, hence the big tip I left. But, he does look precious so it was all worth it. And no Mom, it's not too short and he does not look like "Moe" from The Three Stooges. Besides, if his hair grows as fast as mine, we'll be back in the barber's chair before we know it. 
We cooked and watched movies both nights and by Sunday we had a little touch of cabin fever. Fortunately, it was GORGEOUS with sunny skies and 65 degrees! We went mattress shopping for Gray's big boy room and he had a great time testing all of the floor samples. I got the feeling that the salesman did not think it was quite as endearing as we did, but oh well. We can't wait to get his mattress delivered tomorrow so that we can start putting his room back together finally!
With Gray still feeling crummy, we decided to stay put for Super Bowl Sunday so we're making lasagna and watching it here over a bottle of wine. Of course, Gray will miss all of the action, as most of it will take place after he's asleep, but we'll fill him in tomorrow. He got his fill of sports today anyway by watching the FBR Open with Adam.
Tomorrow starts another busy week, but thankfully Adam is in town again! I know! So exciting! I've got two work events this week so it will be a busy one for me. I can't believe February is already here! Before we know it, it will be Valentine's Day, then Easter.....where does the time go? If you find out, let me know. Until then, take care all!

He got his fill of sports today anyway by watching the FBR Open with Adam.
Tomorrow starts another busy week, but thankfully Adam is in town again! I know! So exciting! I've got two work events this week so it will be a busy one for me. I can't believe February is already here! Before we know it, it will be Valentine's Day, then Easter.....where does the time go? If you find out, let me know. Until then, take care all!
