Pink Heaven

As everyone knows, our home is bursting at the seams with all things blue and boyish. As much as I adore everything about my boys, we've been dreaming of a change in color scheme for some time now, pretty much having given up on the possibility. It was quite the shock to hear that we are in fact having a baby girl...and no sooner did the words "It's a Girl!" escape the sonographer's mouth than I was off and running, buying all things pink and girly. Today I received the most girly and frilly package in the mail. I had ordered a bow-headband for Emma to wear home from the hospital from pinkbowtique.com, and it arrived in all it's splendor, complete with a bonus bow-headband. Unwrapping this package was pure pink heaven.

The Box, wrapped in pale pink ribbon...


The inside, wrapped in pink and brown tissue paper...


The contents, the pink tiara bow and the bonus pink and brown bow...both made my heart swell with delight..

52 Days Until Emma

I haven't posted in the longest time, but there has been a lot going on around here. We are finally having a baby girl, due to arrive around April 15th. The boys are ecstatic to be getting a baby sister and I've been having a blast buying girl clothes. Her name is Emma Katie-Belle and we can't wait to hold her in our arms.

I've been getting her room ready...assembled a very pink storage unit:


Brought my childhood dresser from my mom's house:


Started collecting clothes and shoes:



I've had some generous friends and family buying stuff already and Sarah and my mom are throwing me a shower next month. Many more pictures to come...
