This sweet little girl is 8 weeks old today. Time is going by far too quickly- she's becoming bright, alert and interactive. And while theres nothing that warms my heart more than watching that little face light up with a smile its all so bittersweet. She's growing and far too fast! I wish time would stand still so i can enjoy every little snuggle and smile this girl has to offer.

Sweet little Nova was a model for headbands and hats when she was just one week old! After all who wouldn't love all that dark hair! And guess what- it just keeps getting longer and longer! 

 

Little baby "N" (yes she has a name now- nope we aren't sharing yet) is due to make her debut in a little under two weeks- if not before then. Her room has been fun and challenging at the same time. I wanted something neutral and welcoming- nothing over the top- something that fit right into our home. And since its officially complete she is welcome to quit kicking my ribs and come anytime- anytime little one. 

By far my favorite thing about this room is this white wall- designed to look like an old wood farmhouse wall i couldn't be more thrilled with how it turned out! 

In case you were wondering we will fill those frames with pictures of her once she arrives- but until then we are content with the photos we took to share the news of her arrival with our families. And the frame in the middle- thats my baby blanket- her name is pinky. It once was bright pink with sheep and now its grey and see-through. It makes me so happy to see it hanging on her wall. 

 the room is complete with one big brother whose patiently awaiting her arrival! (we secretly are praying he likes her- poor guy has no idea how badly his world is about to get turned upside down)! 

It's true. 

We are excited, thrilled and quite nervous. 

oh and this helps explain the lack of blogging- 

gotta love the 24/7 morning sickness. 

 

These templates for my sister in-laws baby shower have become quite the hit on pinterest- and since i've been sending them out in mass emails i thought i'd make my life a bit simpler and just leave them here to download. 

Click on each image to download a PNG file of the template- i'll i ask is give credit back to my blog if you use them! Thanks! 

I've been thinking lately that i'm ready for something new, just something new exciting and different. So sunday i asked the drover for his suggestion on an new adventure... and then i suggested a choice between a new puppy or baby? And guess what he picked- baby. Now family- before you get too excited you must realize the drover saw right through the question and knew if he answered puppy there was a very likely chance i might just come home with one- however if he said baby he knew a. i'd panic and b. he could buy himself more time because he knows me and knows i have a plan- and right now that plan doesn't say baby. It says things like alaska, school, work, pictures, and picture projects. So for now we are still puppy-less (can you imagine how upsetting a puppy would be to mr. dog- he has a bad case of only child syndrome- eventually we plan to break him of this). And someday we are gonna do the baby thing- and i really hope when that day comes the little one inherits their daddy's eyelashes.
