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.

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...

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...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
