Coming home outfit :)

We decided to bring Hudson's coming home outfit for a baby boy (sentimental) and got a baby girl outfit yesterday at Janie & Jack.  Here is what we got. I am in love with both Hudson's old one and this baby girl ensemble. We also got a gorgeous pink and white bonnet.

It is warm and has beautiful detail. We will see if we actually get a baby girl to wear it! It has vintage looking cream lace on the collar, on the back and around the feet.

Here is baby H in the same ensemble we will send Baby Boy #2 home in should this baby be a boy :)

We are spending the weekend resting, cleaning and getting organized!

Only a few weeks!

More nursery touches

We are working on finalizing the Nursery. There are a few things I will wait on until I see if we are having a girl or a boy. Namely a name bunting like this one:

And a blanket for the back of the chair like this one:

The nursery bunting we have now in the pictures I posted prior looks pink  but it is a mild peach.  We hung that up as well as the cloud mobile a few weeks ago. Once I find out if this baby is a girl or a boy I will either add touches of pink vintage roses or light greyish blue.

I ordered the grey medallion rug:


It is coming together (but will be a bit of time until everything arrives or can be ordered).
I will post pictures once the baby is here! Only a few more weeks! How exciting!

In other news, Hudson is doing fantastically in school. He is loving it and making lots of friends and it is making me so happy to see our shy boy blossom out there. He is so excited for his baby to arrive.  I will go get a boy and a girl coming home outfit this weekend!

Happy Friday!

The end of an era....

We traded in our 2004 Kia Sorento last night for a 2013 Toyota Highlander. The Kia Sorento was the first big purchase Brandon and I made together right before we got married AND to sign title over, I even had to write my maiden name :). We are very excited about the new car, as my Sorento was very very much on its last leg (including no A/C-thank God it isn't that hot here). However, it seems to mark the end of an era. Second baby on the way, new house, new car :) Here is to as great of a second era as the first!

On another note, I have been having tons of contractions! :) Should be anytime over the next few weeks!!

More H Montessori-Weeks 2 and 3



Hudson Boy

Now that I pick Hudson up most days by 3:30 pm, we have at least one weekly yogurt date :) Mom and Baby Albano love frozen yogurt as much as H does. Look at my cute boy!

A day to catch up.

Looking forward to a day to catch up with house chores, decorating, and yard work. We are spending today at home, getting organized and just generally working on house projects.  The nursery is almost done, all of our bedrooms are painted. Hudson's room is Glass Slipper Blue by Benjamin Moore, the baby's room old-fashioned peach and our room Palladian blue. Next up-the kiddo's bathrooms and the loft.

I am also trying to get stuff up on the master bedroom walls today now that it is painted. Only took us 8 months!

I vacuumed the entire house and am in clear nesting mode today! We will also get the lawn mowed, the rest of our plants planted and Brandon is working on the drip system for my new planter box we put in about a month ago. I have had a lot of peppers and tomatoes :)

Approximately 50 days until Baby Albano!!! I can't believe it.

Happy Labor Day!
