It's ANOTHER girl! :)

So we've found out that Anne Bradley is going to be a big sister to a little sister! :) We are so excited! We've decided her name is going to be Margaret Stuart Watkinson and we will be calling her Molly Stuart. Bring on the monogramming! Molly Stuart already has her Little Giraffe blanket and 2 blankies in PINK! :)

Dining Room: start!

I forgot to add this and I'll take better pictures later since this doesn't show the room in it's full glory! This was set up for Anne Bradley's first birthday party back in September. Note in the NEW HOUSE post from below (the real estate listing pictures), our lovely dining room was a serious shade of NAVY BLUE, and I am all about blue but it was so harsh and needed to be brightened up! :)

Dream home attempt...

My home will one day look like this... I am doing my best to get it there with what I already have, while gathering the small accessories as I go! This was from the Better Homes and Gardens Special Publication: New Home, "Revisiting the Cape" article from Fall 2007. Mom kept her magazine copy for me that I regularly keep in my purse all sorts of dog-earred! I just found a link to the article online: http://www.maryleblanc.com/images/New-Home.pdf

I already have my white denim fabric for my family room couches, just need the tax return for the slipcovers... HA! I am also attempting my to get my hubs painting these gorgeous shades of gray throughout my downstairs. I figured that round 2 of pregnancy would have him helping the paint but while he's busy at the CAA Men's Basketball tournament with his Dad and brother, I may be heading to Ace Hardware to get the Low VOC Benjamin Moore Paint and start on the kitchen! (If I start it, he'll be obliged to complete it!) :)

PS- you professional bloggers... I can't figure out how to save the images from a pdf to my computer to post on here! Any suggestions would be lovely!

PIGGY TAILS...

I just couldn't resist these pig tails... my baby is turning into a little girl!

Trying again... :)

Trying again to start blogging if I can find the time! :) We are pleased to announce that Anne Bradley is going to be a big sister in September! My due date is September 27, but we are thinking the baby will be here 1-2 weeks early! SO VERY EXCITED to add yet ANOTHER adventure to this household! We (I) have purchased our newest (and one of the only) items we are hoping to buy for the arrival of Baby #2... a new stroller! We've gotten another Baby Jogger and love the brand so much! This time we've purchased the City Select that can be a single or in our new case, a DOUBLE! It's pretty awesome...

I also had to purchase the infant insert for my Ergo Baby Carrier! I can't believe I ever liked the Bjorn... after wearing an Ergo... you'll be a believer, too!

Also, for Christmas, Santa brought me the older version of Anne Bradley's crib bedding from Serena and Lily... I am hoping the crib to bed transition (that will occur before Baby#2 will be smoother with matching?!) Wishful thinking, I presume! HA! But the Caroline Bedding is AS adorable as the Kate Crib Bedding! Thank you, Serena and Lily, for keeping my angel cakes precious!
