Oh, happy day. {our weekend}

*First off, thanks for the comments on my last post…it helps SO much knowing that I’m not alone in the world of toddler ups and downs:-)

 

 

 

Oh, happy day.  This weekend was a good one.  Really good.  Like, after I wrote that post, I almost feel bad because Collins was so sweet this weekend.  Sure, there was still some whining, but not like normal….and I swear she is growing up right before my very eyes.  She seemed like such a big girl this weekend, cue the tears. 

 

Mikey left early Friday morning for a wedding in Chicago, we had made the decision a few months back not to risk me going.  I had NO clue what I would feel like at this point in the game, and although I probably would have been fine….we just couldn’t risk a non-refundable plane ticket on it.  My parents kept my nephew for the weekend, so we had TWO little toddlers to contend with…but they had the best time playing together. 

 

We started the weekend with a trip to the ballpark!  Baseball season is coming to an end, so we were trying to take advantage of attending some of these last games.  We had NO clue how long we would last….my nephew is sweet as can be, but ON THE GO.  Collins is not like that at all, it’s funny.  You could put him down for ONE second and he would be OFF in no time.  They did really well though….we tailgated for about an hour and then they played on the playground for a bit before the game started, to wear them out……….we made it to the top of the 6th, and then it was time to head home.  Our COCKS won though, so that was good and everyone had a good time!






 

On Saturday, we ran errands, visited our next house (details on that to come), took long naps and then enjoyed an afternoon at the pool.  We had a low key dinner at the house and I was in bed by 9:30….  Lordy mercy!  OLD WOMAN alert! 


First pigtails. And it instantly made her look way too old. 






 

We headed to the early service on Sunday morning so we could have a full day.  After good long naps for the kids, we headed to the pool.  Colls is SUCH a water bug.  She did SO, SO good at the pool both days.  She didn’t even want to put her swimmies on and wanted to just walk right off the steps!  CRAZY booger!  She loved it though.  Daddy finally got home around 4 and we enjoyed a couple of hours playing with him in the pool.  After that, we all headed to dinner on the water…it was a BEAUTIFUL night and a PERFECT way to end a great weekend.  I feel so thankful that I got to spend that day with MY MOMMA and the little girl who made ME a momma.  It was heaven sent.  My wonderful momma even let me go to the pool for a couple of hours BY MYSELF during nap time.  Bliss. 









Hope your weekend was good as well!

 

xoxo

    She is really looking like a little girl now rather than a baby!

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...
