Birthday weekend

Welp, I finally joined the rest of my besties in entering my mid thirties- ugh. Am I thankful for being alive, healthy, and happy? YES! But, that doesn’t make growing older that much easier. I can just feel time flying by me and there’s nothing I can do to stop it- and I hate that. Do I feel 35? No! Not that i really know what that means- I 100% agree that age is just a number- but let’s face it- the older you get, the higher your chances of cancer, sickness. Etc- and that terrifies me. Regardless, we had an amazing weekend celebrating my birthday and a whole lot of other fun.

My girl had two of her dance besties spend the night Friday- they had a bday party to go to. While they were at the party- Mikey and I took the boys out to dinner.

Saturday morning came bright and early as I had to get all the kiddos up and have the girls at a parade by 8:15. They danced in the okra strut parade this year- their first year to dance and not ride on a float- they loved it but were def hot and tired after! We spent the rest of the day hanging out at the house, swimming, and chillin’ out- Collins enjoyed a big sis/little sis party at dance during the afternoon.

On Saturday night- the kids headed to a friend’s house with a sitter and we had people over to watch the Carolina game (wish we hadn’t even cared) and celebrate my birthday- it was lots of fun:)

I spent Sunday doing typical 35 year old mom things- haha, well at least part of the day. We enjoyed a boat ride to lunch and it was a gorgeous day!! I went to a baby shower for a friend and we had a parent meeting at the dance studio- I came home for dinner and Mikey had cooked one of my fav meals and he and the kids made brownies for bday dessert!

It was busy, but fun weekend- cheers to 35 and another year of being able to do life with all the people I love.

(And my girl lost her second tooth already!!!!)

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...

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...

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...
