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

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...

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...

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h...
