The Friday five.

1.       FOUR weeks from today, I repeat FOUR more weeks.  My doctor moved my c section date up a few days yesterday at my appointment and I couldn’t be more excited!  It’s not much, but mentally ….it helps SO much.  I was scheduled for Tuesday July 22….now we are Friday July 18, which is 38 weeks and 1 day.  Which is exactly when I got induced with Collins, crazy huh?  Of course, this is all assuming nothing happens and my BP stays good, so we shall see….but for now I’m happy.  Everything looked great at appointment:-)

 

2.        I’m going to try and keep this post positive after yesterday’s Debbie downer…..  We are celebrating Mikey’s birthday tonightwith a little family dinner date and tomorrow we are having some friends over for a cook out.  I figured this may be one of my last social outings for a WHILE… so I’m looking forward to it!  We are also planning one lake day for this weekend…. I don’t want this summer to go by and us feel like we didn’t enjoy it at all because either we were doing house stuff/painting/moving (Mikey, me not so much) or just b/c I’m pregnant…so I’m trying to make us take some time out to enjoy summer too. 

 

 

3.        In other extremely EXCITING news……our kitchen remodel is moving along nicely.  I’ll have to do a full update soon, but I just found a “carerra marble” look alike quartz for $48/square foot.  If you’ve ever priced quartz (especially the c marble look alikes) you know they are insanely expensive.  All of the big name brands (silestone, ceasarstone, hanstone, cambria) run anywhere from $70 to $90/square foot.  I found a local supplier who makes quartz and it is “off brand” but I don’t care!! It may not be the best lookalike on the market, but this house is NOT worth spending upwards of $70+/square foot on countertops.  SO I am PLEASED as punch.  It’s called Carrera classica, so clearly they were trying to match the real thingJ  The hardwoods were installed this week and get finished/stained next week…then painting downstairs (Mikey’s been hard at work painting upstairs)…then hopefully countertops getting installed first week of July or so.  It’s going to be CLOSE getting everything done in time, whew!

 

4.       My toddler is a hot mess lately.  God love her.  She can be such an ornery little boog sometimes.  And then she can be sweet as sugar at others.  Oh toddlers…….

 

 

5.       I’m getting BLONDE again today.  My roots are rough.  I don’t spend a lot on pampering myself but this is worth every penny.  I feel SO much better about myself with a fresh cut and color.

 

 

Happy weekend, friends!!

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...
