BIG OL' BELLY.


How far along? 36 weeks, 1 day. What does this mean??? FOUR weeks to go!!!! HOLY WOW. Right now, four weeks feels like a lifetime away and feels like tomorrow at the same time. Weird, hard to describe.


Size of the baby? Almost 6 pounds (although this could vary greatly…considering I was just a little over 6 pounds when I was born at 41 weeks).

Maternity Clothes? SAME.


Stretch Marks? SAME.

Movement? Lots lately, it’s funny now that you can pretty much pinpoint specific body parts (since I know she is head down and hopefully will stay that way) to see her little foot or knee move across my tummy. She’ll poke right back at me if I press down on her. Her daddy loves to do this, aggravating her already.


Sleep? Yeah…that not having to wake up to pee thing? Nonexistent now…I wake up about two or three times a night. Some nights are better than others as far as being comfy/tossing and turning.

Food Cravings? SAME.

What I Miss: Not being achy. I’ve got LOTS of pain/pressure in my back and in other areas…sometimes so much that I wince when turning over in bed. Ready for that to go away.

Symptoms: Had my 36 week checkup yesterday and everything looked good. Doctor said that the baby had dropped some, but no dilation yet…not that I would want it yet/expect it. No contractions lately.

Best Moment of the Week? The CRIB bedding is on the way! YIPPPEEE!!!

* I know it will...but looking at this picture, all I can think about is...how in the WORLD can my belly get any bigger?!? Geesh!

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer.  I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies.  Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long.  (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together.  We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball!   That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun!  Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
