In other news

A lot has happened in the past few months since I last wrote.
Biggest thing is....we're having a baby!! He or she is due January 25, 2019.
I've started feeling little flutters and movement in the last week or so and it's been so amazing and fun! I can't fit into anything other than gym shorts right now! All the maternity clothes I have are for cooler temps and Georgia says it's still summer time, so until then...tshirts and gym shorts!

We find out the gender on Tuesday and it's been the longest month of my life waiting for that appointment. Because after that the real planning begins!
We're going to have to keep it a secret for 3 days until our gender reveal party on Friday. That is gonna be tough!

The party is going to be a Fisherman or a Mermaid theme--all the decorations are too cute! We bought a huge confetti popper from Poof there It Is that we're going to set off to tell everyone with. I seriously CAN'T. WAIT.

Look them up on Instagram and you'll see what it's going to be like-- so fun! pink or blue confetti everywhere!

The whole time since we found out we were pregnant I thought it's going to be a boy...but now I'm thinking maybe it's a girl.
The thought of being responsible for the well being of a tiny little nugget of love is crazy to think about. I've wanted to be a mom for as long as I remember because I've got the best mom around and I want to be as fun as her!

Part of me keeps focusing on the reality of blowout diapers, no sleep, crying baby in the middle of the night because you cant romanticize that stuff away...it's going to happen. I want to be prepared for the crazy parts of parent hood so maybe they won't stress me out as much if that makes sense? There are going to be so many more precious, sweet and picture perfect moments too- but I guess I am too much of a realist to think that's how it's going to be always--it's not all Instagram highlights and clean onesies.
Even with all not sleeping and diaper changes- I'm so excited about this little one that I can't even stand it! I think about what his/her personality will be like...shy like me or outgoing like their daddy? Will they want to play soccer like their mama?

I just can't wait to meet this little nugget of mine! He or she is 19 weeks today and is 6 inches long! Hard to believe we're almost halfway there!

and now the countdown begins til Tuesday... :)

10 things you don't know about me

In the first post, I somewhat introduced myself. But in this post I'm going do share 10 Things you probably don't know about me. 1. I am a HUGE worrier. Seriously, about everything. I keep myself up at night thinking and overthinking. What I did or shouldn't have done that day. I replay conversations that I might have had with people wishing I would have thought of better things to say. I know the verse in Philippians "dont worry about anything; instead pray about everything" but let me just say that's so much easier said than done. I want to make everyone happy sometimes to the full extent of not being happy myself. I want to make everything easier for everyone else. I've always felt that I'm some not good enough, that who I am is somehow sub par. That coupled with worrying is a recipe for sleepless nights and stressful days. ANYWAYS...moving on to a less heavy note.... 2. I am a clean freak. Ever since we moved into our new house, I've been...

Christmas in July

Even though we just got back from the beach last weekend, I'm feelin' the holiday cheer. Thank you Hallmark Channel for making my Christmas loving heart happy. Yes, I'm one of those that love cheesy Hallmark movies and all things Christmas, so you mash those two together- perfection! Where's the hot chocolate? It's getting me in the mood for scarves, boots, and caramel brulee lattes from Starbucks- only THE best holiday drink out there. Chris and I may or may not have a Starbucks addiction. Don't judge. I guess while its 90+ degrees outside I can dream of cooler temperatures and hot beverages. But we did have a great time in Destin last week on vacation. It was probably the longest stint of time we've had together- just us since our honeymoon. We read on the beach, got up early to beat the crowd to our favorite breakfast spot, watched movies and just enjoyed not having a set schedule. And oh did we eat donuts. It became a literal food group last week. Po...
