BAMA beatdown weekend.

Last weekend was a wild one, particularly because my GAMECOCKS beat ALABAMA in an awesome game!!! Regardless, I was NON STOP busy....which is why I probably got sick this week, there is only so much my body can take!

The "weekend" began Thursday night with my birthday dinner celebration with all of my favorite ladies. We went to Rosso, and it was fabulous. It was a very fun night...I am so thankful to have such wonderful friends.
Friday consisted of a LONG, tiring day at work...bleh, who works on Fridays? Ha! I wish I didn't ...as I am sure everyone else does as well. Such is life. Friday night, my wonderful mother came over and helped me deep clean my house for the shower I was hosting Sunday. We scrubbed and polished for a few hours before our weekend guests arrived. By 8:30, i was dunzo....the rest of the night was spent with a good glass of wine on the couch with friends. Early to bed...we had a LONG day ahead of us Saturday.

What a day it was....probably one of the BEST games I have ever watched the gamecocks play. You see, as a Carolina fan...we are so used to our team not being that good. It seems like we think we are going to be good, win a big game, but in the end we usually lose. Well...guess what?? NOT THIS TIME! Finally! A big win for the cocks! My mom and I went to the game together and I swear, i have never been so nervous. We wouldn't even begin to get excited that we may just win until there was like a minute left on the clock. That's just how it is for us Carolina fans...we have seen a LOT of heartbreak over the years. Regardless, we did it...and it sure was fun!

All the girls tailgating...a BIG, fun group!
Hubs and me=)
The team celebrating a W!
Mom and I at the end of the game...I swear it was one of the hottest games all year...on OCTOBER 9, ridiculous!

Sunday came way too quickly...I had to be up and at em' quite early...to make final preparations for the baby shower I was throwing. Luckily, the other girls throwing it with me and our sweet mamas came to the rescue...I think everything turned out really well!

The beautiful tablescape.
best friends with the mama to be! Yeah, you can't even tell she's pregnant! So cute!
Yummy strawberry bellinis!
Cute cookie favors....so good!
All in all, it was a great weekend. I am actually looking forward to this weekend though...we have hardly anything to do. We are having some people over to watch the game Saturday night (we take on Kentucky at 6), but other than that...low key is the phrase of the weekend! Cheers to getting some much needed rest!

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...
