Valentine's.

As I've stated multiple times (probably to the point of ad nauseum, sorry!)...Mikey and I don't really "do" Valentine's Day.  I think it's a great holiday...for kids.  I mean by all means, let's celebrate LOVE...but going out to dinner and buying flowers/chocolate/gifts/jewelry JUST because it is Valentine's Day...smh.  Just not me.  Mikey does get me flowers every once in a while (last year flowers and a massage because I was 38 weeks preg and you damn right I deserved them!)...and this year I came back from lunch to a delivery from Pro Flowers.  Now, I'm not going to turn flowers down...but honestly, $50 on flowers... I would have rather he spent the money on something for the house... that's just me though.  But, I can't complain...with him being out of town for THREE weeks it was sweet to get a little reminder of how much I love that man.  I did get a kick out of the fact that there was a TEDDY BEAR in there...my first thought was, WTF...why in the HELL did he waste money on a teddy bear!! (I know, I know...I'm bad!)  BUT, my man knew exactly how I felt and in the card there is a big *P.S. the bear is for little C*  Ha!  More to make me laugh...after some sweet and sappy words...the card read "So...even though we don't believe in this, ummm,...holiday created by the florists unions of America, I love you.  Love, your sweet husband.  Hallmark-1, your husband-0."  I sure appreciated that.  Love that boy.

Anyhoo, enough about that.  My Valentine's Day Thursday was pretty yuck.  After working all day...I had to play single mom as my parents went out of town (C and I have been staying with them).  I had to meet some couple at our house to buy our grill...a Craigslist deal, always a little scary.  I thought they were going to be there by 6:30 (still daylight) but they didn't get there until 7:15 (dark!) so I was super nervous.  The lady wanted to hold Collins right away...ehhh?? Weird. Anyways, I had some time to get more clothes for the weekend (C and I are heading to Charleston) and play with Collins while we waited on the buyers to show up.  After that, I had to go to my parents house, get our dog and her HUGE crate, load them up and take them to Mikey's parents house...and by the time we were done doing all that and back home it was 8:30 and neither of us had eaten!  Not a fun night...boo.  Needless to say I was in bed with a book by 9:30. 

I will enjoy these until they die... ( don't mean to sound so "I'm too good for flowers" because I do enjoy them... and I appreciate Mikey making the effort :-)  I would just appreciate them more on a random Tuesday just because...not on Valentine's Day...make sense?)


I did send Mikey a picture of our little Valentine yesterday morning... I couldn't get her to hold the heart without wrinkling it...so this is the best I could do with me holding the heart...there was no hope in getting her to smile too.  Another day....  :-)


Whatever your thoughts are on the day, I hope everyone had a GLORIOUS Valentine's Day.

xoxo.

    This post made me laugh... Could not agree more! The whole day makes me feel awkward and I go as far as telling John he better NOT send me flowers:)

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...

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...

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...
