21 Weeks...over the "bump"!

YAY!!! I did it! Over the half way mark, I cannot believe it. I know the second half will be the hardest, but I am just so happy to be over half way there.

*Pictures are rough, when did I get so pale? Ick.

How far along? 21 weeks

Size of the baby? The length of a carrot, about a pound.

Maternity Clothes? Bella band for pants, skirts. No maternity tops 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? YES! So cool!

Sleep? Still sleeping good.

Food Cravings? Nothing yet.

What I Miss: Same as past several weeks. ;)

Symptoms: OMW y’all. Let me just gripe for a second. First off, realize how thankful I am that I have had a fairly easy pregnancy thus far, no sickness ever… which was fabulous. BUT, oh but…my face is STILL broken out like a 12 year olds. My face has NEVER (not even when I was a 12 year old) been this bad. WHEN does it end? Thank the lord for Laura Mercier’s secret camouflage, what would I do without it?

Best Moment of the Week? We had our BIG 20 week ultrasound last week and it went WONDERFULLY! I was so nervous going into it, but baby girl looked perfectly healthy, which is SUCH a blessing.

Side Note: I still don’t really feel pregnant. I mean I am definitely showing, don’t get me wrong. But, it’s at the point right now I can still forget that I am. Ha! And yes, the flutters/quickening/kicks have definitely helped…but it still has not really sunk in that I am pregnant/about to be a momma! I hear a lot of people say it won’t really until you lay eyes on that precious bebe for the first time….it’s just so weird to me right now. Exciting, but surreal I guess is how I would describe it.

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...

Sweet Caroline
