It's finally Friday!

Yes! Very much looking forward to a LONG weekend...and a weekend where we are not going out of town, have NO wedding showers, weddings, birthday parties, baby showers, NOTHING on the agenda but having fun and relaxing.

We are planning on heading out to my parents house tonight and spending the weekend on the lake. Not much sounds better to me right now. Mikey will hit the links EARLY Saturday morning with the boys and I will sleep in till it's time to get my TAN on. We plan on boating with friends all weekend and my parents are going to have a little cook out tomorrow afternoon.

In some of the most sad news ever....my parents are putting their house on the market. I can't even think about it, tear. This has been my home for 17 years...that's SEVENTEEN wonderful summers spent living on Lake Murray (yeah...technically I haven't lived at home since um...2001 (we won't go there) but we spend so many weekends during the summer there that I still consider it home. We always have a boat to take out, a dock to lay on, a porch to lounge on while watching the beautiful sun set on the water. WHAT in the world am I going to do when they move? They are ready to downsize, ready to be a little closer to town, and they don't really care about being on the lake anymore...do huh?!? Unimaginable to me...but for as much as I spend time at Beaufort and Hilton Head in the summer, my parents practically live there now. My mom literally spends the majority of her summers between those two places since she's a teacher. I am so sad about it, but that just means I have to take FULL advantage this summer and hope that the house doesn't sell before September! So...this could be our LAST Memorial Day spent partying at my parents house, we better make it a memorable one.

My go to essentials for the weekend will be:

1. a beach chair
2. sunscreen
3. shades
4. cute swimsuits
5. even cuter cover ups
6. flippy floppies
7. Mic ultra
8. boiled peanuts
9. i pod
10. books

Sounds like heaven to me.

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...
