Mother's Day weekend in the low country

We wrapped up a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend in the low country fairly late Sunday night, but you won’t find me complaining. We had not been to our house in Beaufort, which we affectionately call village creek (or if you hear G and T say… village cweek:-). )since NOVEMBER. That’s probably the longest I’ve ever gone between visits and I was dying to get back down there. House renovations kept us away as we wanted to get mostly finished with house stuff before summer, so we finally were able to head to the coast this past weekend.

My whole immediate family went and we had the best time. Equal parts fun/busy and rest/relaxation. Admittedly, the YUCKY weather almost ALL day Saturday forced a lot of the rest/relaxation…but sometimes, days like that are good for me. If I would have been home I would have felt like I needed to accomplish something, but being away gives you the ability to truly relax. It was great…the kids got a little stir crazy before it finally cleared up around 5 and we took them fishing on the dock and out for a short boat ride. We celebrated Mother’s Day and my SIL’s birthday Saturday night which is always fun.

Thank goodness, Sunday was GORGEOUS. We headed out in the boat fairly early to spend the day on the water. We made a trip to downtown Beaufort and ate lunch at the waterfront park and let the kids play on the playground a bit. We didn’t even leave Sunday until after 6, but it was well worth it to have a full, beautiful day on the water. I certainly enjoyed spending my day in the sun with my babies and my mama, it was pretty perfect.

Happy Tuesday!

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...
