{our weekend and hallelujah!!}

DONE!!!!!!

Wow. What a feeling! We are officially DONE moving….thank goodness!! This has been a LONG, tough month. Between the grueling exhaustion of being pregnant and moving/packing up an entire house/cleaning said house I have been WIPED out lately. My husband has been FABULOUS and has carried the majority of the load as far as this move is concerned, but I have helped to the best of my ability and did a lot of the cleaning (with some help from my wonderful momma as well). No matter what, pregnancy plus working all day plus carrying for our sweet, sometimes sassy toddler plus moving and cleaning is TIRING. Of course, we are really only HALF way done b/c eventually we WILL be moving somewhere else…but I feel like moving into a house is much easier than moving OUT. Regardless, thankful to be DONE for now.

I did get a nice break Saturday because I hosted my best friend’s baby shower, it was really sweet and simple and perfect for the momma to be! I’ll have to do a separate post as all the pictures are on my good camera. And then, Saturday nightanother bestie who has a 10 week old hosted a cook out so we could all get together and it was CHAOS but SO, SO fun. There were almost 20 adults there and 12 kids… goodness! But, we had the best time…the kids all did SO good and it was so nice to have some social time (I have not had enough lately!)

And Sunday, after we finished EVERYTHING at the house….and Collins took a THREE hour nap….we FINALLY made it out for an afternoon on the lake. The weather was gorgeous and it was just what I needed to recharge. Cannot wait for many, many more of these days to come.

Happy Monday!!

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...
