The Friday five : random tidbits

1.     So it’s monsooning (is that a word?) here.  Supposed to rain ALL day long.  Everyone’s freakin’ out a tad b/c of what happened last year with the flood…hopefully it’s not going to be nearly that bad.  We are supposed to be leaving for Beaufort for the holiday weekend after work…let’s just pray this mess clears out tonight.  But, it did remind me I need to get the kids some new rain jackets. 

 

 

2.     My Gamecocks pulled off a WIN last night, it wasn’t pretty and good gracious it’s still gonna be a long season….but I’m proud of them for not giving up!  Hopefully, it’ll be a good confidence booster and help out team morale!  

 

 

3.     We’ve decided to wait it out a couple more months with Mikey’s dad before moving in the apartment…we’ve kinda got our eye on a house….but it’s complicated.  So, we are waiting it out a bit.  It’s really been fine living with the in laws…thankfully they don’t mind our chaos! 

 

 

4.     I’ve got two more beach weekends coming up and I am SO excited.  As I said…we celebrate summer until the bitter end.  Beaufort with family this weekend and then my ZTA girls beach weekend in Charleston next weekend.  One of my favorite weekends of the year.  So freakin’ pumped.  I saw this and laughed so hard…this is EXACTLY how I feel!




 

 5.     I mentioned working out the other day…I went ahead and joined Barre 3’s newest Columbia location: Barre 3 Lake Murray under their “founding client” special.  I still think these types of gyms (Pure Barre, Barre 3….) are wayEXPENSIVE…but I have LOVED the workouts.  I still think you have to do a couple days of cardio of some form (running/biking/etc.) if you are really wanting to LOSE weight, but I like Barre 3 much better than Pure Barre. It’s much more fast paced and I sweat a lot more.  My plan is to go M,W,F mornings at 6.  ( I didn’t go this morning because we had a LOT to get done….packing up for the weekend, etc.)   Mikey’s been going to F3 (and he’s now obsessed) on T,Th but also likes to do the running group on Wednesdays…so we figured we will just have to switch off Wednesdays…I’m trying to get a friend to join me so I have some accountability, goodness knows I need it.  Send me good vibes that I can keep it up!

 

Happy LONG, labor day weekend!

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...
