23 weeks, woah belly!

Woah, crazy! It's getting for real this week!!! I feel huge already! I had my first comment from a stranger..."oh, you look so cute...when are you due?" It totally took me off guard because it was the first time someone who didn't already know commented on it. I know it's bad...I know I am supposed to be growing (don't worry I'm not one of these obsessive people who doesn't want to gain weight) but my very first reaction to this comment was, "is she calling me fat?" HA!!! It's just so weird still. You know...looking down and seeing a big ole' belly! I feel like she is SO high. I have no clue if that is normal or what...it just feels/looks that way to me.


How far along? 23 weeks


Size of the baby? A large mango, isn’t that smaller than a spaghetti squash of last week? Maybe I’m just not up to date on my fruits and veggies. Over a pound, about 11 inches long.

Maternity Clothes? Bella band for pants, skirts. Started wearing a couple of maternity tops…some still look ridiculous because they are so long.


Stretch Marks? Same.

Movement? Oh yeah… it seriously felt like an ocean in my belly last 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 peanut butter, on apples, sandwiches, etc.

What I Miss: See past several weeks posts.

Symptoms: OMG, still have zits galore! WHEN will that “pregnancy glow” skin take effect? Back has started hurting a bit when I sit at office all day. Need to bring in a pillow.

Best Moment of the Week? The renovations to the nursery have begun!

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...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
