{our weekend.}

Our weekend was spent LOVING on each other as much as possible...why you ask?? Because Mikey had to leave Sunday to go to New Jersey for THREE weeks for work. MAAAYJAH boo hiss to that:-(  I try not to complain too much thinking about military spouses...but it sure is sad! 

But, seriously...we spent lots of time in bed snuggling together as a family.  Our little wee precious one has ALL OF A SUDDEN stopped sleeping late.  *POUT*  I really can't complain...she started sleeping thru the night at 7 weeks old and has ever since...she takes two good naps per day...and sleeps 11-12 hours  at night...but I sure will miss those weekends when she would sleep till 8:30 or 9.  It started very slowly but over the past month we have arrived at her waking up at 7 am like clockwork.  DANG IT!  EVERYONE in their mother reminds me this is normal and I was lucky before...which I totally get...but gosh darn it, I like my sleep!  And 7 to me is EARLY on the weekend.  Anyhoo...it did provide for extra snuggle time in the bed each morning as mama and daddy weren't quite ready to start the day. 

Mikey took off work Friday to spend the whole day with Collins before he left.  We had a lunch date and then he took her to the zoo!  I was super jealous to miss out, but happy they got to spend the day together.  This was her first time at the zoo to actually see the ANIMALS, what a novel idea, right?  Seeing animals at a ZOO?!?  Anyways, I don't think she was super impressed with much except for the aquarium... sweet girl loved the fish!!  Maybe because she could get so close and really see them good?

These are the pictures Mikey took from his phone, which are incredibly blurry...but oh well, still cute of my lil' boog.  *vain side note*  So, I spend a decent amount of money on Collins' clothing.  Of course we have play clothes, too.  BUT, I generally put her in her finest if she's gonna be out parading around town, right?  I mean ...it only makes sense?  :)  So you can imagine my surprise when this is how my little girl showed up to me at lunch on Friday!  Yikes!  A for effort/matching and at least she had a bow...but COME ON, DADDY!!  I had her in a super cute pink giraffe outfit..I mean she was going to the ZOO for goodness sakes, she totally needed a ZOO ANIMAL on her outfit (this is one of those times I wish they had sarcasm font) but really...a nice outfit for a day out with her daddy at least?  He said her wet diaper leaked and her outfit got wet too...so this is what he came up with.  I mean the sweater was cute at some point...but it is a hand me down...and has a pink stain on the front and just looks plain worn...and the leggings weren't something I would normally put her in outside of the home...*gasp*.  Anyways...I know that sounded so ridiculous (sorry!) but you know it's just like "eehhhhh...."

Getting a close up view!

 Big smiles!
 in awe...
We spent the day Saturday getting Mikey packed and relaxing around the house.  It was a very nice weekend at home (out of the norm for us lately, we've been out of town 4 of the past 6 weekends!)  We had some friends over for dinner Saturday night and had good quality hang out time.

We had a nice brunch Sunday morning before going to the airport...so, so sad.  Good thing little C isn't old enough to understand!

I packed us up and C and I are spending the weeks at my parents house.  Home cooked meals (for free!), extra help with C, and not being lonely/bored were all too good of an offer to refuse.

Happy Monday!

xoxo.

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...

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...

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...
