Five Things

Happy Friday! I hope you all had a great week! And for those of you a lot more north than me, I hope you managed to stay warm! I'm linking up again with A.Liz Adventures, Carolina Charm, Hello! Happiness and The Good Life Blog for 5 on Friday. Also Backin' Dat Azz Up with Whitney at I Wore Yoga Pants.

I had my gestational diabetes test this week and I passed! I've passed every pregnancy...surprisingly enough because my already very sweet tooth always kicks it up a notch during pregnancy. Maybe my body is so used to sugar it just handles it well. I think if I took the sugar away, that might be when I go into a diabetic coma.

The weather was much nicer this week than last...no frozen bridges, no "snow" days...nice to feel back to normal and earn a full paycheck. It was actually 70 over the weekend, and then mostly high 50s this week, but I'll take that over anything under 30s and under any day. I am so eager for spring though...just need to get through this month and then hopefully we'll be cleared for warmer weather.

I am officially in the double-digits for my due date countdown! As of today, it's 97 to go. I've never gone over my due date...Tanner was spot on and Breckin was six days early...so I'm hoping it's a bit less than 97 to go actually...I'll be ready to go once I hit full-term officially at 37 weeks! I wouldn't mind an April baby...after all, I'm an April baby too. I am now just over 26 weeks along.

Jake and I have finally agreed on a name for this baby girl. We think it's the perfect fit to go with her siblings' names. BUT, we are doing things a little different this time - we are not announcing it until she's born. I have my reasons for that...I feel like I've noticed a lot more unsolicited criticism and negative opinions this time around {maybe it's worse when it's a girl? I don't know} whenever I mentioned my list of favorite names and I honestly just don't want to hear it anymore. We have the name, we love it and it's our little girl...so it's our choice and I don't want to be bombarded or fooled into changing something we really like based on others' opinions of it. Sheesh, why does baby-naming have to be so hard? Anyone else ever feel like this when they named their child? Did you end up just keeping it a secret?

{Just kidding, I don't hate anyone for their opinion :-) Though I think this card is more aimed at how many names you hate based on people you know with that name...lol.}

This weekend I am helping my son make his Valentine's box for school. {Do you remember those? I loved when it was time to get creative and make one.} I'm thinking we'll do something Lego- or Nintendo DS-related since those are his favorite things right now. Then he will address all of his Valentines so we can make sure it's out of the way before Monday...I hate having to worry about things like that during the week.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Five Things

This week has been an odd one. We got hit with a "winter storm" here in the Southeast and it really caused some havoc. My son's school let out before noon on Tuesday and was closed Wednesday and Thursday. This morning they even started on a two-hour delay. Due to all of this, I have not been at work since Monday...which is nice, but still, girl's gotta make that money, honey.

But anywho...here are my five things this week:







{one}
The winter storm brought a very rare occurrence of snow to Charleston. We woke up on Wednesday morning to a lot of ice and a little bit of snow fall. Nothing to brag about, but the boys did sure enjoy getting a rare chance to play in the white stuff.

As you can see, there definitely was not much...but it was awesome to them nonetheless. It was also cute seeing them all bundled up in their winter coats {Sugar too}.

Since both Jake and I had the day off on Wednesday, I made sure to put him to work...I got him to paint the wainscot in our master bedroom. Long story short, about 6 years ago when we moved in, we thought it would be cool for it to be brown and white, but after a while, I really just wanted it white...and plus, we are planning to sell the house soon, so it will help it show better. Here is the "before" - stay tuned for "after's" next week!

My Sugar baby turned one this week...she's officially an adult! Here is a pic of her the first day we got her...she still needs me next to her to nap well...it's so funny. She literally sits and waits for me to wind down in the evenings and relax on the couch so she can nuzzle up next to me.

I thought this pic was too funny:

My J.Crew sweaters arrived - I ordered them on major clearance {$29.50 from $69.50!} from their "factory" website...they are versatile and will go with a lot of different outfits...now just to wait on this pregnant belly to go away...



The pink one pictured  above is now on backorder, but there are still a lot of colors to choose from, so hurry!

I picked up this pink and gold Threshold ottoman from Target...I have been eying it for a while now, so I finally bit the bullet with a giftcard I had from Christmas. It was on sale online at $55.99, I believe it was originally $69.99. Right now it is sitting in the nursery, but I may find a place for it in the living room!

Have a great weekend! Hope you're staying warm wherever you are...looks like Charleston will be up in the high 60s again next week - that's more like it!
