Throw Back and time.

Can we talk about something? TIME. Why does it fly by? I don't understand, but the older we get the faster it goes. I seriously cannot comprehend the fact that it is already MAY. I mean, we are in full force summer temps. in the Carolinas. I always wish away the winter because I hate the cold weather, forgetting how much I SWEAT in 90 degree temps! (*ahem* Southern girls "glisten, " we don't sweat!) HAHA! I sweat like a man, it's gross! I know it is because we typically have something fun planned every weekend which makes everything seem to speed by, but good gracious. I am about to be a wife for a whole year, I swear my wedding felt like yesterday. Kinda crazy.... it's funny to think back when I was little and would think Christmas would never come....and now I can already see it on the horizon, too soon!

Last year at this time my sister in law and two girls who are like my sisters threw me a gorgeous kitchen shower at my brother and SIL's house. I invited women in my family, and my mom's teacher friends. It was a beautiful May day, although my legs were definitely sticking to the chair when I was opening presents because I was sweating, yes...always. The hostesses did a beautiful job with everything, the food was amazing. Everyone kept making fun of me when I was opening presents though, see...I'm not really the "cook" in the family and didn't have a clue what half the presents were. You better be sure I knew what the Kitchen Aid Mixer was that I received from my mama though....and yes, I have used it=) I think Mikey would have probably been better at opening the gifts from this shower as he is the cook. It was still wonderful though, we got so many great things, so blessed.

The flowers my SIL did, she is amazing!

The set up

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...

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...

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...
