The Friday five. Catch up edition.

Sorry for the radio silence.  Things are hectic around these parts to say the least.  We closed on our new house last Friday (long post coming) and it’s been chaos ever since.  Between getting quotes, buying stuff, starting demolition of the kitchen….we’ve been busy!  I’m obviously not much help right now, which drives me nuts…. I HATE not being able to do anything.  My awesome husband has worked at the new house every night and all last weekend so we can move in before these boys come.  We are still trying to finalize exactly what all will be done renovation wise now and what we will wait a few months on…so many decisions! 


 

Other than that……. I’m still trucking along.  I have been taking Collins down to the pool after work and it has been so nice.  She loves it and it is super refreshing for me and about the only time my back doesn’t ache!

 

Last Sunday, my AMAZING friends threw the boys and me a little “sprinkle” and it was perfect.  I’m waiting on all the pictures, so that post will come another day…but it was such a sweet little celebration for these boys.  Also makes you realize how much MORE you need when you DOUBLE everything, wow!

 

I just finished The Fault in Our Stars and wasn’t super impressed…I mean…yes, it was a good book, but nothing out of this world in my opinion.  I’m about to start Emily Giffin’s newest….I need several more to add to my summer reading list.  TV is horrible this time of year so I prefer to read at night.

 

We have my nephew’s birthday party and a fun night on the lake with friends planned for this weekend.  Mikey will continue slaving away at the new house and I’ll continue feeling worthless.  Ha. 

 

Happy Friday!

 

xoxo

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...

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...
