Times are a changin'....

My oh my. Things have slowly started changing lately, it's weird, good, sad, and happy all at the same time to me. What am I talking about? Just growing up in general and how it affects our day to day lives now. This past weekend was absolutely wonderful, low key and totally different than how it would have been a year ago. We were asleep by 11:30 both nights, didn't have any night time social events to attend, and went to a birthday party for one of my favorite ONE year olds and I went to baby shower for my best friend, Jill and Mary Brooks:)

Things have just started slowing down for us...the wedding showers/parties/weddings/nights out on the town are becoming less frequent and the staying in, Saturday work projects, going to bed early are becoming more common place. I feel conflicted about it to be honest. I've always LOVED being on the go and being BUSY, but obviously being pregnant has affected that some and going out just isn't quite the same as it used to be. I'm okay with that part of it...I think the part that feels weird is knowing that a certain chapter of our lives is kinda closing. I know we will still have social events a plenty in the coming years but most of them will change to baby showers and kids birthday parties. I know these will be SO much fun for us and sweet little Collins, it's just different. I've said it time and time again, I'm not a fan of growing older. Yes, I am SUPER excited about becoming a mom and starting this new chapter in our lives, but part of me knows that at the same time it just means more time is gone by and I am getting old! My mom's best friend told me the other day her 30's and 40's were her favorite time, when she was raising her kids...and I am sure that I will find that to be true, it's not that I don't think that time is going to be amazing, it's just a little sad knowing the non kid days/young adult "social" life time is drawing to an end. And yes, I know you can still do this when you have kids...but it's still not nearly as frequent.

I don't mean to sound sad about this...as I am totally happy about our soon to be new life as parents, it's just a big adjustment. *Duh* Anyways...enough rambling.

Happy Monday!

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...

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...

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...
