{our holiday weekend}

The weekend started out with a bust. Not really, but I am usually so exhausted on Fridays and this was no exception. I think I laid down on the couch all night long. Lazy bum.

But that changed Saturday! I started the day with an incredible prenatal massage that was long overdue and MUCH needed. I'm hoping to have at least one more (fingers crossed for 2) before these boys come. And then Mikey and I enjoyed a little date day on the lake. Collins went to Beaufort with my parents Thursday night so we had a kid free Saturday. We figured we should take advantage, don't think we will have many people lining up to babysit three kids 2 and under anytime soon, and hell, probably can't afford it either! But the day was gorgeous and we really enjoyed just cruising around the lake and hanging out.

We had a wedding at 4:30 Saturday which is why we were still in town in the first place. I took like no pics but it was beautiful and I hung pretty good till 8:30! I know, that sounds so lame, but it was all outdoors and hot and who wants to be the girl sitting down at a wedding? So needless to say by 8:30 my feet, back, and tummy were done!! It was time to drive to Beaufort.

A pic the photographer texted me, obviously still in editing phases!

Memorial Day weekend is one of the only times the whole entire family (aunts, uncles, cousins) come to Beaufort together so we wanted to join everyone. Sunday and Monday were spent on the boat/beach/pool and it was heaven. It's so special to me to see Collins growing up with all of her cousins!

So thankful for a wonderful weekend with family. And even more thankful for those that paid the ultimate sacrifice so that the rest of us can enjoy this beautiful life we live.

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...
