S-E-V-E-N

To my girl,

I cannot even believe I have a beautiful SEVEN year old- you've been way too excited to grow up lately and it makes my mama heart hurt just a smidge.  As much as I LOVE watching you grow, it pains me to see it all happen so fast.  You continue to make your daddy and me so proud every day.  You are such a hard worker in all things - school, dance, art, you name it.  You are so focused and intent on learning and I just love watching your love of learning. You are constantly writing daddy and me sweet little notes, you love to write in journals and have gotten into bracelet making/art kits a ton! You are extremely well behaved OUTSIDE of the house (hint hint... can we work on that?!)...  but seriously, all of your teachers talk about how sweet and respectful you are and what a wonderful LISTENER you are- somehow that doesn't always transfer to the house and being a good listener for mama and daddy, but we still love you no matter what.  You are extremely sensitive and have become quite attached to mama the past 6 months (I'm not complaining!).  You get anxious about some things and only want mama when that happens, but we are working thru it!  Your brothers are definitely starting to get on your nerves more the older you get, but you are still so sweet with them and play with them for the most part.  

I'm loving watching your love of dance develop, who knows where that will go and how long it will last- but I sure enjoy seeing you get so excited about it!  You are also quite the little artist and enjoy drawing.  You got roller skates from Santa and have loved learning how to skate, you've become quite good and impressed us all at your birthday party!  

There's not enough words or time for me to ever adequately tell you how much I love you, you are our baby girl and we are forever grateful that God chose us to be YOUR mama and daddy.  We love you SO big and are so proud of you always,  Happy big number SEVEN, sweet girl!






From baby to beauty in the blink of an eye!

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...
