We did it!!

Okay... Well Collins did it, but it was a big step for me too:) Collins slept in her crib the past two nights....yay baby girl!! She's been sleeping in the bassinet portion of her pack and play in our room, mainly for my own peace of mind. I tried her out for a nap in her crib on Tuesday and she did great so Tuesday night I said I would see about her sleeping in there. She did have about an hour of fussy time the first night but after that she was great! I'm actually pretty good at letting her cry it out, hope that doesn't make me sound like a bad momma but I've been preparing myself via moms on call and baby wise and I know in the end getting her to sleep good is a must. I've been around babies a lot and I know letting them cry for a few minutes is not going to harm them! Granted, i will say Collins has not had any uncontrollable crying yet so that may make a difference. She mainly just fusses and grunts a bit. Last night she did wonderful and didn't make a peep after I put her down. Generally she goes down about 10 and will sleep until about 2 30 or so and then nurses and goes back down from about 3 until 7. She's really been a great little sleeper so far and I pray it stays that way. She's had two nights where she fussed until about 2 and was wanting to nurse a lot, thinking growth spurts! Anyways sorry to bore, but I have to document this stuff for myself:)

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...
