Babies, babies, babies!

I guess we grow 'em in spurts around here. My group of friends is on round two of a lot of babies coming around same time!! So exciting!

BABY girls, especially!!

We are determined that if our next “in town” friend to get pregnant has a girl we are entering our group into a study.  Like, it’s crazy how many girls we have had in our group….all of my college girls that are still close that have had babies in past two years, the out of towners have had boys and all of us in Columbia had or are having girls.  WHAT the WHAT?!?  

We had a baby shower a few Sundays ago for the next girl to join the group….sweet baby Saylor.  She’s due to arrive at the beginning of September. 
Kayla is one of those girls who doesn’t love pink….and Saylor’s nursery is in yellow and gray, so we decided to use those colors for the shower.  It was a sweet shower with lots of SWEETS.  We did it on a Sunday afternoon and the mama to be LOVES sweets.  So, that’s what we gave her.  We had a beautiful and DELICIOUS cake made by my fabulous sister in law (The Southern Gourmet, if you are local) and an ice cream/frozen yogurt “bar.”  It was so good.   We had super amazing cookies (again, the southern gourmet) as favors and they were all decorated perfectly.  I forgot my camera and we didn’t get lots of pictures….these are the only ones I have access to but wanted to document this shower for my bestie nonetheless. 


We are about to send invites out for our next shower celebrating another precious girl  set to join us in September!  And then we will start planning soon for a baby coming next year!!! Eeek:-) so excited for all these soon to be mama's!!

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...

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...
