I have to admit it is kind of weird thinking about Skip preparing to be a daddy. For so many years he was so adamant about not having any children. He loved Katie's kids but that was as far as it went. He just couldn't see himself being a father. I am so thankful God changed his heart. It was so funny how it all began. Last September when our family was all together at the beach Jessica took a real interest in helping Katie get the kids bathed and at that time Dawson was just a little over a year old. Skip was keeping an eye on the situation and wasn't too happy about her attention elsewhere. One night the boys were all playing a game in the other room and us girls were laughing and cutting up. Katie got this great idea to to the "pencil on a string" game. It's when you hold a pencil or a ring by a string over a woman's wrist and if it goes in circle it's a girl or if it goes straight back and forth it's a boy ( I may have the order wrong) anyways it said Jessica was having a girl and we were whooping and hollering and then it said, she was having a boy.....that did Skip in and he came to find out what all the racket was about. Needless to say, he wasn't as happy as we all were.......Well after they had gone to bed that night they had a long talk and agreed that in a couple of years they would start their family.
Well two weeks later we were all together for lunch and Skip made the family announcement that in the spring they would hope to be pregnant. Katie just about spit her water all over Sandra and Stacey (remember that?). She never thought that she woudl ever get to be Auntie, so here we are!!!
He is very excited about getting to know Molly. She is just now becoming real to him and as he put the baby furniture together he did it with much pride. He did all the painting, put in new window blinds, ceiling fan and had new carpet put down. It's coming together nicely.
I just love her bedding she has picked out with all the greens and pinks.
Katie is giving Molly her kids baby bed which makes it so special and that means Dawson goes into a big boy's bed next week.

He looks happy, but a little nervous, too. Maybe he's just camera shy. I LOVE the colors they chose.
We got home a little while ago after meeting Katie over at their house and put the bed together. He was so relaxed and so excited about how good the room came together. I will post some pic's soon. She did a good job on her colors and bedding....so cute. Target carries it now. Dawson was promoted to a "big boy" bed tonight. She bought new sheets and put them on and he was so excited. We'll see how the night goes!!! Jess was saying, "Katie are you sure you aren't having another one soon"....her reply was NOOOOO.
hummmmmm
