Easter 2013

The easter bunny arrived! Happy Easter to all!

Easter Weekend!






We have been very busy so far-hunting for eggs, dying eggs and just having a great weekend!  Happy Easter to all!!!!

A bit behind...

I am just now posting the 8 week ultrasound of our little pumpkin.  We are just at about 11 weeks now. We have all of the 12 week testing/ appt on April 12 (closer to week 13)


Feeling pretty good and keeping up with things to some extent. I fall asleep every night by 9 pm. My job has been super demanding lately, including 7 depositions last week, 5 of them on a wrongful death case that I am lead counsel on and am really passionate about--so that made for quite the week! Brandon's birthday was yesterday so we had a nice night out at Cholon. I was in bed by 9 pm :) I am hoping my energy levels will improve soon.

We have been fighting a round of colds in our house as well, so we are very glad that is almost over.  I find looking back that it is very helpful that I posted a lot when pregnant with Hudson, so I plan to do the same thing with this pregnancy.  New cravings: Gatorade, frozen yogurt. I have to eat ALL the time to prevent feeling sick and get plenty of sleep. Excited to start the nursery and get out of the first trimester!

Nursery Ideas

Trying to come up with a gender neutral theme for the nursery that I love. I LOVED Hudson's nursery so much, but love decorating nurseries so much I want to do it at least a little bit different while still using elements from the last nursery.

Our furniture is in use by Baby Brooke and I will take possession of it mid-May and I am excited to start Baby Albano's room.

Some ideas I have:

Dylan bedding by Serena & Lily is cute. I am just not sure if it is too neutral.

I like the yellow too-cheery and sweet, but not sure if I would get sick of it.

The bedding I really want has been discontinued:

The Serena and Lily Natasha bedding. I love it-still trying to find it somewhere online.

Finally-love this pillow so much:

Want to try to find a way to incorporate the adorable pillow :) 

Today I am going to start the hunt for the girl and boy coming home outfits :) So exciting.

Almost 10 weeks and doing well!

I will be ten weeks on monday! :) Can't believe things are progressing so fast and that I am almost done with the first trimester.

I am not as sick as I was with Hudson-but definitely get exhausted very easily and am usually in bed by 8:30 pm. Luckily, Brandon has been great about taking care of H-man so I can rest a lot. They are becoming great friends while momma is busy growing a sibling :)

I do have quite a few food aversions, but probably not as many as I had with Hudson. I get hungry often and have to keep full in order to feel well.  I can eat most things during the day but very few at night.

Cravings include: fruit, apple sauce, juice and pickles.

Hudson is very excited about the baby and talks about it a lot. We are excited too!

In other news, our first round of downstairs shutters will be installed in the house monday! A couple more weeks and our upstairs shutters will be in as well.

Now I just have to keep my energy up for an upcoming jury trial. Ahh the joys of pregnancy and lawyering.
