twenty. freaking. seven. and a throwback, sorta.

HOLY HELL. THE WORLD IS OVER. *being a bit dramatic bare with me* I am going to be TWENTY SEVEN years old a week from today. WHAT!?! Say huh? You might as well tell me I'm turning 35, that's how old I feel. Ridiculous? Maybe. I know, you don't have to remind me that 27 is still incredibly young in the whole "adult" life ride. But still. 27? May as well put a fork in her...I'm done. The majority of my friends are all turning 28 this year ( some as soon as a mere month and two weeks after me!), and they probably hate me for thinking 27 is old, oh well....serves you right! I had to put up with being the youngest way too long when it SUCKED (i.e.: being able to drive, getting into bars without worrying about the po po's , etc.) I will take full advantage of being the YOUNG one now! *Rant over, sort of.*

I feel very blessed to be where I am in life at the OLD (ahem...youngish) age of 27. I have an amazing family, a wonderful husband, the best friends a girl could ask for, I went to college, law school and now even have a *big girl* J-O-B, and own a house. Seems like I've checked most things off my "list." You know those ones you make when you are like 12 and think everything in life will happen when you snap your fingers? I guess the next big thing on this so called LIST is.......that little thing we like to call reproduction. GASP. NO WORRIES...not ready for that anytime soon!

The weird thing is, sometimes I feel like I am so young still and have all the time in the world and then other times...I sort of feel like I have so much to do in the next 6 - 7 years. Weird? Yes. Point being, I just wish I could SLOW the damn clock down every once in a while. Life flies by.

Anyways, here's a throwback of last year celebrating my birthday with my best friends! Again, what I did last year on this weekend has completely escaped my mind. On the Thursday night, September 24, THE SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS BEAT OLE MISS, who at that time was ranked number 4. So, that was fun and all. But, as for the weekend? I just can't remember... it's that OLD age I tell ya!

Okay, I lied...first up is our sweet pup Milly. We got her on my birthday last year. I love a dog now, officially, one year later...I can say I LOVE HER. Never thought I would have said that a year ago! *I still don't let her lick me and I still don't love other dogs...just Mills!*
And now here we are celebrating...gosh, just think I was a mere 25 this night, about to be 26! Feels so young now, ha!

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...

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou...

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...
