*Full term*

How far along? 37 weeks. I don't really fully understand this whole 40 weeks pregnant business....why do they consider you full term at 37 weeks but yet you are supposed to go 40? From what I've read the newest research shows that babies born at 37 weeks can still suffer from respiratory problems (asthma, etc.) but of course there are some babies who can come early and be perfectly healthy. Don't understand it. I think I have just gone into this thing the whole time thinking she would be late...so I'm not getting my hopes for anything to happen anytime soon!


Size of the baby? Around 6 pounds, maybe? My doctor guestimated Tuesday she was actually about 5.5 right now. We don’t get ultrasounds at my practice at this point in the pregnancy unless something is wrong/worrisome/etc. so we really won’t have an exact number until she decides to make her grand entrance to this world!

Maternity Clothes? SAME.


Stretch Marks? SAME.

Movement? SAME.


Sleep? SAME.

Food Cravings? SAME.

What I Miss: Actually, being active/working out…I am so ready to get back to doing something. I’m officially over being pregnant. And I HATE to say that/complain because I’ve had a wonderful pregnancy…but starting around the 35 week mark that all went downhill. Getting out of bed/off the couch HURTS, my belly hurts, I’m swelling…blah blah blah. I’m by no means really “ready” …I want her to bake as LONG as she wants (well, as long as she doesn’t go a week PAST my due date, then I may look at induction) but I am tired of the sucky part of carrying around a human being inside of me! I feel like she is running out of room…my doc said it is normal for me to have a lot of back pain and pressure and stuff in other areas because I am SO short and SO short waisted. There really just isn’t as much room for her in me!

Symptoms: Nada. Nothing had changed at doctor this week.

Best Moment of the Week? My wonderful mom came over last night to iron the crib bedding and finalized organizing the nursery. It is 99% DONE:) My prints are at the framer right now, should be done by Friday and some accessories from RH Baby and Child are due to arrive Friday…fingers crossed! Hopefully everything will be 100% DONE this weekend!

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...
