Family Vacay 2013: Recap part THREE

As I mentioned…we had a BIG, FUN weekend. My parents invited two couples, and my brother and I each invited a couple…so we had 14 adults and 5 kids in the house…it was pure chaos but I LOVED it. Obviously, one can only handle that much chaos a short amount of time…but we sure had a BLAST. Everyone arrived by Friday late afternoon and we spent the evening boozing and hanging out. The kids all got along so well, Belle really took to our friend’s one year old…someone new to follow her around besides Collins:)

Saturday we headed out on the boat as early as we possibly could. We spent the day on Otter Island, just like being on the beach, but a private one as there is hardly ever anyone else out there. It was SO. MUCH. FUN. And the weather was AMAZING. I mean, the PERFECT beach day. Makes me sad writing about this in September knowing it won’t happen again for a LONG time…boo hiss.

Saturday night was much of the same as Friday….except most of us were in bed by 10! That’s what happens after a LONG day on the boat and beach.

Mikey and I were up at the CRACK of dawn to go home and get ready to HOST a couples baby shower that Sunday afternoon, I know….we are nuts. But, it was great! I was SO, SO sad to see our amazing 9 day vacation come to an end. I’m hoping we can plan them like this every year. I am so thankful that we have such a beautiful place to vacation at, and so, so thankful for the wonderful memories we created during this week.

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...
