{our weekend}

I left work around 3 Friday to head to ATLANTA for the night.  It was our TENTH annual ZTA girls CHRISTMAS party and I was PUMPED.  8 out of 11 of the girls in attendance still live in Columbia and see each other pretty regularly, but it is rare for ALL of us to be together and for that I am forever thankful.  We took a road trip this year to go to my best friend Brannon’s home in Atlanta.  It was SUPER quick, but SUPER fun.  We used to all get ridiculously wild and go out after we exchanged presents, but this year we decided to do things differently.  We all got coordinating PJ’s and our best friend Becca monogrammed them for us.  We were ready for a GIRL’S NIGHT IN.  The very best kind.  We do a white elephant style gift exchange and it is so much fun.  We get dinner catered and enjoy the evening catching up and making memories.  It is one of my favorite nights of the year.  I was SICK this year, so that didn’t help, but I still made the best of it and enjoyed myself. 

We left ATL by 9:30 Saturday morning and I spent the REST of the day on the couch, it helped that it POURED down rain all day long Saturday.  I was almost in tears Saturday night I felt so bad.  I could NOT get my congestion to break up for the life of me and it was DREADFUL.  I fell asleep at 9 that night and it was heaven. 

I felt a little better Sunday, so we ventured out to church before spending another lazy day at home.   After church, C and I both took naps and then we headed over to my mom’s house to help her finish decorating.  Little C bug LOVES her Granddaddy and Lolly so it was a nice visit with my parents.  Mikey came over later and my dad cooked homemade chicken noodle soup.  A seriously laid back Sunday, that I very much needed. 

Forgot about this... We went out to dinner last Thursday for our Decemeber supper club and had such a good time. Most of our "going out" time now means going to someone's house and hanging out so it's nice to actually go to dinner with a group. Love these peeps.

Can't believe we are LESS than a week away til' Christmas!!

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...
