16 weeks!

I feel like I've been pregnant forever sometimes and then at others, it still feels so new!! I'm ready for my belly to "pop" so I'm out of that in between phase. Right now it just looks like I'm carrying around a little too much "beer gut." Ugh. We get to find out the gender NEXT week, can you believe it?!? So freaking excited. We go for the ultrasound Friday, but want to find out with our families...so we are having a cook out Sunday night for the big reveal!! I'm ready to start shopping:) This is going to get me in big trouble.

I'm still so nervous, ready for that 20 week BIG ultrasound so they can really check out the little bean. Not too much longer...praying for a healthy baby.

How far along? 16 weeks.


Size of the baby? An avocado, these fruits crack me up!

Maternity Clothes? Not yet.


Stretch Marks? Not yet. But, my mom had them and I hear they are hereditary, but she said hers went away fairly quickly. I’ve been using Palmer’s and Bio Oil several times a week.

Movement? Not yet. Should be within the next few weeks!


Sleep? Still sleeping good.

Food Cravings? Nothing really yet. I crave Lucky Charms, but I always randomly crave those. I just love Lucky Charms and have always gone in spells where I will eat it for a week then not buy it again for a while.

What I Miss: Drinking. Ha. Sorry if I sound like an alcoholic, but it’s HARD to be around people enjoying cocktails and you not being able to. Football season is going to be SO hard, and two of my best friends are getting married soon, attending wedding events sober is just not as fun. Thankfully I have several friends pregnant right now so I will have some sober partners in crime.


Symptoms? I was EXHAUSTED the first trimester…but that’s gotten better. Nothing else really…thankfully this has been an extremely easy pregnancy so far.


Best Moment of the Week? Having a good 16 week check 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...
