Hairbows, dolls, and tea parties.

WE ARE HAVING A BABY GIRL!!!!!

We are SOOOO SOOO excited, (admittedly, maybe me a tad more so than daddy!). I pinky promise I would have been super excited EITHER way, especially for the first child...and Mikey is excited...I think he is just a little scared. Momma's going to be spending WAY too much money on this little girl;)

Our reveal party was perfect. I am so glad we decided to do that, everyone had a lot of fun. I had gotten cute pink and blue tablecloths and had the outside all set up with tables and white chairs, lanterns, and hanging lights...and then BAM. The sky fell. Literally, it DUMPED rain for over an hour. A tree fell on the house across the street, so BAD storm. Poor Mikey had to grill under an umbrella...we waited it out a bit, but it wasn't going anywhere and we had to grill our burgers at some point. Our families arrived around 5 and we just enjoyed each other's company for a bit. Meanwhile, the cake was just SITTING. AAAhhhhh!!! We cut the cake before we ate...I couldn't take it any longer. It was so fun. If I can ever figure out how to get the video on here...it's on my dad's youtube account, but I don't know how to save it so I can upload it here...I will post our reaction.

As I said, I had NO clue what we were having...we are overjoyed and I am so excited to start decorating the nursery! Thank goodness for my wonderful sister in law, she is an interior designer...I know if she has her hands in it, it will be gorgeous! We finished up with the family around 8 and then several of our friends stopped by to celebrate with us. We tied a pink ribbon around Milly and that's how they found out. It was such a fun, wonderful, perfect evening. We are so thankful to have such wonderful family and friends who loves us and are supporting us through this adventure.

Once we dug in, forgive me the pictures are out of order.
The goodies!
It's a GIRL!!! Proud future parents:)
Milly has NO clue what's coming her way in March!

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...
