18 weeks!

You can't really tell much from this picture, the shirt hides everything. But, I had to go to court today, so I had to wear something I could put a suit jacket on with. Blah. Boring outfits.

How far along? 18 weeks


Size of the baby? A sweet potato/large mango.

Maternity Clothes? Not yet. Still wearing regular pants/skirts, haven’t busted out the bella band quite yet…but I do unbutton my pants sometimes when sitting at my desk all day, definitely about to have to need bella band. No worries, my office is private and no one can tell:)


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 Bi Oil several times a week.

Movement? Not yet. Hopefully soon.


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: Alcohol, tailgating is fun…but not nearly as fun sober. Ha!


Symptoms: None

Best Moment of the Week? We found out we were having a GIRL Sunday night surrounded by our family, it was wonderfulJ

    CONGRATULATIONS!!! You are going to adore having a baby girl to dress up and smoosh on! When are you due? I would LOVE to come down and do your newborn pictures! I'm due the beginning of January so I should be fully recovered and looking for an excuse to slip down alone to South Carolina by then :)

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...
