Tuesday brain dump.

1.       We found out the sexes of the babes yesterday.  We are waiting to do a mini “reveal” at Collins’ second birthday party (she’s not old enough to feel like the attention is being taken away).  No less than 8 of my friends have called or texted promising that they can keep a secret, ha!  I was a NERVOUS wreck, I know, I know…that’s totally ridiculous. God decided the sexes of these babies a long time ago and there was NOTHING I could do about it, but STILL.  I didn’t sleepSunday night.  As much as I love being able to find out early-ish….I’m 16 weeks today/tomorrow I am still a nervous wreck until we go back for our 20 week ultrasound and they REALLY check the babes out. 

2.       It’s snowing here, again.  WHAT the WHAT?!?  No one is nearly as excited this time.  Because duh, we are ready for spring.

3.       Birthday party planning is in FULL SWING.  We are having her party this Sunday at the house.  Nothing outrageous, but I still LOVE planning and party prep.   I simply cannot believe my baby is going to be TWO. 

4.       I HATE buying maternity clothes.  UGH.  I haven’t yet, but I know I’m going to have to.  All of my hardcore maternity clothes from Collins are sweaters/pants.  Well, this go round I’ll be HUGE in April/May/June/hopefully not too much of JulyJ  So… what does that mean?  I’ll have to buy spring/summer maternity!  UGH!  I plan to go to Old Navy/Loft/Gap and stock up on dresses.  Comfy and lightweight for our hot summers.  I may have to dress a tad more casual at the office this summer, oh well. 

5.       We are in the middle of a garage renovation.  When we had a big freeze a month or so ago a pipe busted in our garage.  The ceiling fell through.  Fun times.  We are using this opportunity to epoxy/paint the garage floor and walls.  Mikey’s thrilled about it……..BUT it will look SO much better and maybe make us keep the garage NEAT and ORGANIZED.

6.       There are SO many shows on TV that we just can’t watch them all.  We are obsessed with: Scandal, The Blacklist, Nashville, I watch Grey’s and Parenthood.  But, I finally got Downton Seasons 1 and 2 and knocked them out in no time at all.  Season 3 is awaiting my pick up at the library and I have season 4 saved on the TV at home.  I wish I had time to watch more shows, but I am glad I started that one.  We also rented the Butler Saturday night and I thoroughly enjoyed it, I love movies that are little history lessons as well. 

7.       We now have both cribs set up on the nursery and are working on getting all of the old furniture out of there.  I’m pretty sure I know the set up I will go with, now to pick colors, fabrics, etc.  LOVE designing a room!!!  It’s more than a little surreal to walk in there and see TWO cribs though.  When will that ever sink in?

8.       I’ve had a head cold off and on for the past two weeks, I just can’t shake it. I’ll feel GREAT for a couple of days and then BAM, feel bad again.  UGH.  So over it.

9.       I need some new books to read.  Nothing has grabbed my attention lately. 

10.   Lastly, we had ANOTHER low key weekend at home.  We worked on the garage, I deep cleaned the upstairs and we attended Collins’ bestie’s birthday party.

    I just started watching Downton Abbey with my sister, but we are still on Season 1. And I don't know what kind of books you like the read, but a few that I have enjoyed recently are; Saving CeeCee Honeycutt by Beth Hoffman (fiction) and The Heroine's Bookshelf by Erin Blakemore (non-fiction.)

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...

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...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
