One of those nights.

Some nights are crazy hectic. Some nights are rather low key.  Some are super fun with lots on the calendar.  And some, well some are just “good.”  You know what I am talking about.  Nothing really out of the ordinary.  Nothing on the schedule.  Just a good night.  We had one of those last night. 

 

We had to run a couple of errands after we picked up C from daycare which meant we pulled in the driveway at 6.  I was STARVING (not that uncommon…) so I decided to “cook” dinner right away.  Fortunately, we didn’t have much to do as we had leftover spaghetti sauce…so all “cooking” meant last night was cooking noodles and making a salad.  I was in charge of dinner since Mikey had to do some yard work.   We ate really early (for us) and I took C to the bath right away, spaghetti + toddler…yeah, you get the picture.  Anyways, by 6:45 she was clean and we headed straight outside to enjoy the beautiful night.  We PLAYED and PLAYED while daddy cut the grass…she was obsessed with watching him.  Collins LOVES to be outside, and it felt perfect last night…so we stayed.  We went for a run at 8, which was perfect (weather wise) and for Collins because it allows her to have some “calm down” time before bed.  (And know that when I say we went for a run, we did…but ummm….I can’t run for more than 20-25 minutes, so it’s not like it was a long thing.)  Collins loves riding in the BOB while we jog, she just chills, laughs at Milly, and sucks her thumb while stroking her lovie:)


We got back and it was time for teeth brushing and a book before bed and our little girl was in dreamland by 8:30.  See? Nothing spectacular.  Just a normal night.  But, it was a good one.  I’m totally loving this phase of life right now.  Nothing makes my heart happier than a peaceful, laid back night of family time. 

 

In other SUPER exciting news….on Tuesday night we attended my BESTIE’s GENDER REVEAL…and well, we are getting ANOTHER girl in our big group of friends!!!  I LITTERALLY CANNOT BELIEVE IT!  Y’all, out of our big college group/Columbia group of girls we have ALL had girls in the past two years (NINE of them).  Our three friends from college who live OUTSIDE of Columbia, have BOYS,  WHAT the WHAT?!?  Pretty nuts, right?  I couldn’t be more excited for it though.  SO happy for Bec and Grant…can’t wait to love on baby Gillespie!!!

Me and the mama to be:) Holding her nephew!  He’s now going to be outnumbered….one sis and one girl cousin on the way!!

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...
