weekend rewind

I can barely keep my eyes open right now.  Yikes.  I used to have insomnia issues during college and law school but for the most part I don’t deal with it too much anymore.  Every once in a while it’ll take me a while to fall asleep…but then every few months I’ll have a night like I did last night….WIDE AWAKE until 3 am.  Worst feeling ever.  All I wanted to do was SLEEP.  I am SO tired right now, maybe I can snooze in my car during lunch?? ;-)  Anyways, I’m still fighting some type of cold/respiratory infection so I wasn’t feeling all that great this weekend.  I’ve been feeling icky since last Wednesday, ready for this stuff to GO.  We took it easy this weekend and it was MUCH needed.  We did nothing Friday night and I was SUPER lazy/rested/slept when the kids napped Saturday for most of the day.  Well, slept in between coughing.  I finally felt a little better in the afternoon so we went out on the lake for a couple of hours with some friends, but had an early dinner and I was home in bed by 8:30!  Not sure if that has ever happened on a Saturday night before.  We spent the day Sunday traveling to Asheboro, NC to say “goodbye” to Mikey’s grandfather, who was moved to hospice on Friday.  He’s 95, so although sad, he’s lived a full, good life.  It was a sudden downturn so that’s hard, but we definitely don’t want him in pain anymore.  Although the visit was sad, the kids don’t really get it and totally enjoyed hanging out with their cousins.  I still can’t believe there are two sets of twin boys on the Glenn side of the family, nuts! 

 

In other super amazing news, the boys are potty trained.  I feel silly “calling it” this early, considering we just started last Monday…but they only had like one accident each that first day and that’s IT.  I’m sure there will still be a few here and there when we forget to remind them, but for the most part they are TRAINED!!! HOLY WOW!!  I’m in shock b/c I kept putting it off b/c I didn’t think they were ready…but I guess they were!  So proud of those boogers, and they are SO darn cute in their little undies!!  J They even made the three hour drive to NC in undies and we only stopped ONCE for the potty.  (!!!)  There’s a tiny bit of me that mourns this b/c it’s just one more “baby” stage I’m letting go of….obviously they’ll still wear diapers at night for a bit…but it’s just one more sign they are growing up! 

 

Here’s to a new week, with a LOT less diapers!  CHEERS!

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...
