The Friday five: TWINS edition!!

Linking up today with these fun girls!


I still can’t believe I’m writing this.

1.        I’ll be starting weekly updates next week and try and fill in on the crazy emotions of the past month or so, but for now just wanted to drop a few tidbits about what’s been going on.  We already have TWO cribs and TWO mattresses ready to go.  Had to use that Christmas money so we wouldn’t spend it on anything else.
2.       Names are going to be the death of me.  Seriously.  Having to name TWO babies at once.  We won’t find out sexes till mid-February, although I am convinced it is two girls…just because karma and all and someone wants me to be completely BROKE:-) So, really we aren’t “really” discussing names till after we know the sexes…but since I am convinced it’s two girls…that’s what I’ve been focusing on.  I have ONE girl name that I love and have loved…but middle names?? Another name?  CLUELESS. 
3.       Do y’all realize how HUGE I am going to get?  With a 40 week due date of July 31, that means these babies will make this mama LARGE in the HOTTEST month in South Carolina.  I’m kind of terrified of this.  I’m terrified of bed rest.  I’m terrified of back pain…it was BAD with ONE baby in there….I can’t imagine TWO.  Doctors said average twin delivery is 36 weeks, fine by me!  I obviously don’t want them to come too early and only care about their health, but the less I have to be pregnant in the SC summer is fabulous.
4.       I already know what direction the nursery will go in if it’s two girls…but IF for some reason it is one of each? UGH.  A gender neutral nursery….I think that will be really tough.   
5.       We are going to have THREE children THREE and under.  YIKES.  Pray for us. 
That’s all for today.

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...

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

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...
