Saint Valentine's...please spare me.

I hope I am not the only out there who thinks Valentine's Day is SUPER over-rated. I hope not to offend anyone, but I've never really seen the big deal. We don't really celebrate the holiday, I don't think Hallmark/Whitman's/flowers.com/etc. really need my money anyways. This isn't to say I didn't gladly accept stuffed animals and the requisite heart shaped locket/gold plated necklace with "I love you" on it/roses galore throughout my "oh my gosh I am in love and i am only 14, days." I just don't really see the point anymore, we celebrate our anniversiary, well we WILL celebrate it (June 13) and I think that is the holiday that should be about showing love and affection between "companions" as Wikipedia states it. I mean even before I got married our "dating" anniversiary was more important to me than Valentine's. And honestly, lets face it: I DON'T need the chocolate, or roses for that matter. I mean if we had some money to spare, I would gladly accept something really nice for ole Saint Valentine's, but we don't. So, save it.

Of course, for all of you love birds out there who do celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful one. We will be heading to Jacksonville to celebrate our niece's 4th birthday! I am looking forward to the trip because while we are there we will also get to see one of my dearest college friends and her husband. Hopefully the weather will be nice in Jacksonville this weekend, although Cola. ALWAYS misses the snow...it has been pretty miserable around here. Here's to hoping someone has a good holiday!

    We don't really celebrate it either. We never go out to eat on V-day because restaurants are nightmares. We usually make a point to make dinner together and spend the evening together if anything.

    I think I'll appreciate valentines more when I have someone! I'm going out with my dad this (best guy a girl could ask for!) and always sing the song whenever I think of your blog! xoe (ps- I want to have a daughter named Caroline one day)

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

25 weeks....yesterday!

Holy moly!!!! Baby Girl is doing some maaaayjah GROWING:) How far along? 25 weeks. Size of the baby? 13.5 inches and a pound and a half, grow baby girl, grow! Also known as an “average rutabaga”…um, okay. I’ll take Baby Center’s word for it. Maternity Clothes? Same as last week. My wardrobe is shrinking! I have bought several maternity tops, but most of them still look way too big. Still haven’t made the transition to maternity pants even though the bella band aggravates me sometimes. It’s the worst with my work pants, it constantly rolls down. I need to just suck it up and make the switch. Stretch Marks? None have appeared yet, still using the Palmer’s and Bio Oil a few times a week. Movement? Same. It’s so crazy how hard my belly gets at night, it is like she is all knotted up in one place. And the BELLY gets insanely BIG at night! Sleep? Eh…it’s been okay lately. I toss and turn a bunch. Food Cravings? Nothing crazy yet. I have been eating lots of peanu...
