What keeps me up at night....

I've always had sleeping problems off and on. I went thru a really bad period in law school and had to start taking ambien, there nights where I couldn't get my mind to "turn off" until 4 in the morning, that just doesn't work when you have to be awake in three hours and learn the law! I've always been insanely jealous of people who can hit the pillow and be out within minutes (my husband...dang him.) It's actually not that bad right now...every once in a while (Sunday nights are the worst!) my anxiety/brain going in overdrive gets the best of me and I can't fall asleep for a couple of hours. It's got to be one of the worst feelings in the world, when you are absolutely EXHAUSTED and cannot fall asleep.

Lately, this is where my mind wanders:

*Will Collins be a good baby? Will she sleep good? Will she/I be able to breast feed? Will she cry all the time or be a content baby? Will I be a good mom? Will I know what in the WORLD I am doing? Will I be able to get her on a good routine/sleep schedule by the time I go back to work? What will she look like? Who will she take after? My eyes? Mikey's?

*Our next house. Where will we move? When? How long will I be able to stay in our current home? How FAST will we outgrow it?

*Anxiety about dying. I know, I know...it's nuts. But, sometimes I get overwhelmed about the fact that tomorrow could be our last day. It is so frightening.

It's so funny how opposite Mikey and I are on stuff like that. I know I have absolutely NO control over 95% of the things that I worry about/things that keep my mind running all night, but yet I still do worry. I think it's just in my nature. I wouldn't say I am a worry wart by any means, but I do contemplate/think about things a lot that I can't control. Mikey is totally different, he doesn't let anything affect him/worry about anything until he has to...it sort of drives me bonkers sometimes, ha!

Anyways, just a random post about my random thoughts.

We have NO plans for the weekend, do whaaaaat?!? I plan on doing some house cleaning, wrapping some presents, going to look at Christmas lights, watching some movies, and organizing the closet in the nursery. Perfect weekend ahead:)

    Oh my gosh, same here. I used to blame law school for keeping me up at night. And Sunday nights ARE the worst thinking about the upcoming week, UGH!

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...
