Random ramblings.

I used to always think that couples who were at a restaurant together and hardly talked must have the WORST relationship. So funny how things change. Mikey and I just went to lunch together today, and we talked NON stop. We both had lots going on, new things to share, etc. But, just last week we met for lunch one day, kinda last minute...and we both just read the paper most of the time and barely spoke. I mean we talked, but you know...more of a comfortable silence conversation. It makes me laugh to think I used to feel sorry for couples like that...there is something so wonderful knowing that I can go to lunch with my husband and feel 100% okay just being there with him. Sometimes there is nothing to be said, we just enjoy each others company.

I DO NOT GET the saying "little boys love their mommas." Duh. So do little girls. I think a lot of people just say this because it's a phrase so many people say without thinking about it. I don't know why it bothers me so much, but it does. It's like if someone announces they are having a boy...you get a million "awwww, little boys are the best" "little boys love their mommas". What about little girls?? They don't love their mommas?? Is it supposed to be some sort of "feel better" saying that you are having a boy and not a girl. I don't understand. The whole gender reveal thing to me has been made a little too big of a deal lately. I am SUPER EXCITED whether you are having a girl or boy, you are having a healthy baby and that's all that counts, right? I mean, now if you are going on your third child and if I know someone wants a specific sex...I can understand then , but for a first child? WHO CARES!! ALL babies are wonderful:)

I've now been to TWO high school reunions two weekends in a row. Now talking about making me feel old! We had lots of fun at both of them though, so that's what matters.

We finally have our WEEK long beach vacay nailed down. It was a little trickier this year with our work schedules, and I would have preferred to go in June (not quite as hot as July and August in SC)...August it is. We leave Friday August 19 and don't come home until Sunday August 28. WOOOOHOOO. We will be making a little tour of the SC coast. Enjoying time in Hilton Head, Beaufort, and Garden City. Lucky us! Now, pray that the weather is beautiful!!

GAMECOCK FOOTBALL is about to start back up, holy cow! We got our tickets and are ready for the first game that will take place in the Carolina Panthers stadium in Charlotte. Saturday, September 3, gonna be HOT and GLORIOUS. As much as I am excited about our upcoming football season, I am not one of these people who is ready for summer to be over. Sure, the 100+ degree days have been rough...but I love the summer and am sad it's coming to a close. Although football season is still plenty hot in SC for September anyways...once it begins, in my mind summer is officially "over." I am so glad we have one last beach trip planned to soak it all up!

Okay, that's enough for today!

    ugh, i HATE when people say that too! I don't get it. Like you said, girls don't love their mamas? Drives me nuts. Did you ever decide on a Lilly dress you'd like to order? Have you seen the new Fall styles? I'm ready and waiting whenever you are ready to place an order and hopefully being beginning of season we'll have MUCH better luck this time!

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...
