Mixed Emotions.


No worries, this isn’t some emotional, life changing post.  What I’m really here to talk about is the beginning of GAMECOCK FOOTBALL!!!  I LOVE football.  ALWAYS have, always will.  I LOVE my GAMECOCKS.  ALWAYS have, always will.  HOWEVER, I also LOVE summer.  So for me, as much as I love football it also signifies the ending of the summer which makes me sad.  Although I am a full time working woman (so it really doesn’t matter the season, it’s not like I have a summer break!) I still            L-O-V-E summer time.  And there’s really no way around it, once football starts; our Saturdays are devoted to the pigskin.  Which I do love…it just means no more lake days, beach days, pool days, etc.  Which I don’t love.  So…there you see?  This is why I have MIXED EMOTIONS. 

This year Carolina kicks off on a THURSDAY night against VANDY, so in a way I like this because I still get to enjoy a LONG labor day weekend at the beach…gotta soak up EVERY last bit of summer that I can.  I guess it’s kinda the best for me because football is starting (YAY) but as a GAMECOCK fan I still have one more weekend to enjoy before I have to worry about my Saturdays being ALL day tailgate affairs.  *Of course this year may be a tad different with a baby:-) 

So I’ll be a little sad to put away the beach bags, bathing suits and sunscreen (along with the ending of longer days, warm nights, and the general “laziness” of summer) but as long as my GAMECOCKS are making me happy I’ll be okay!

Good bye to days that end like this....sweet Colls napping on the beach during our family vacay last week...

 .......and HELLO to days like this!!  Mikey took Collins to her first GAMECOCK football scrimmage the other night when I was hosting girl's night.  Look at that happy baby decked out in Gamecock garnet ;-)
 xoxo.  CHEERS TO MY COCKS HAVING A FABULOUS SEASON!!!!

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...
