Christmas recap part 3: Christmas Day

Christmas day was absolute bliss. I absolutely LOVE that we aren't crazy busy on Christmas day.  We wake up at HOME in our own beds and enjoy the morning and most of the day in our p.j.'s.  HEAVEN.  My parents came over this year around 10 and cooked brunch and enjoyed spending time with Collins and seeing what all Santa brought her.  Of course, C still didn't really understand the gist of what went on Christmas morning, but regardless...she was excited about all of her goodies!

I'm going to have to edit this picture....but this is us coming to the den first thing in the morning.

First time seeing all of her presents

coloring away!
We seriously had such a laid back morning and day at our house.  We slept late, soaked in the memories of Collins getting excited about her presents and enjoyed some time with my parents before we ALL took a nap.  I mean, really....does a day get any better?  After naps, we got ready and headed over to Mikey's dad's house for the evening. 

Glenn family cousins:)
sweet girls.
I think this is the ONLY picture we got of the three of us over Christmas, SHAME.

As much as I LOVED Christmas this year, I can only imagine Collins' reaction next year when she actually kinda gets what is going on.  Happy Birthday Jesus, so glad we have this special day to celebrate.

*just one more recap and then i'll be back to my normal posting schedule.... hahahhaah, right.  We all know how that will go.........

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...
