Christmas and pregnant... really?

Ok so usually at this time of the year, post thanksgiving and going into the calorie filled Christmas time, I am struggling to feel stylish and comfortable :) Add pregnancy on top of that, and I am a lil desperate. 

I want this outfit to just be in. cute, but oh so comfy. Is it too late to make my wishlist?

IT'S A.....

We are so so excited to welcome this baby girl into our world. We both love her more than we can imagine and know that its just going to keep on growing as she grows inside of me. I was talking to Michele the other day and she was asking for some help on visualizing what this girl is going to look like, so here are some pics of baby dan, I LOVE his huge round brown eyes and his light brown hair. SO stinking adorable. 

This kid is going to have thunder thighs, hopefully I can teach her to cope or play soccer :)

as you can see... we were both little chubsters. Her odds aren't good, and I am glad, nothing like baby rolls. 

The crazy hair begins. 

Little girl, we cannot wait to meet you and love on you. You are such a blessing to us. God is so faithful and you are his child! 

Baby feva....

I don't know if it's the hormones, the excitement or both, but everywhere I go I feel like I am thinking about my lil babes room decor. My mom found this AMAZING music book (really big 3feet tall) from the 50's with adorable prints and songs. I have been toying with the idea of framing the prints and hanging them in the nursery.


Here are some rooms that are currently inspiring me.... Cannot wait to find out boy or girl so I can get going on this thangg.

Loving the red frames on the prints :)

makes me want a girl....

Neutral and lovely. Parts of me want fun color and another part of me loves the calm and serene of creams and whites.

That changing table is a find. Makes me want to go to the flee market!

There are so many more and I could overwhelm myself pretty fast. Soon we will find out and get going! 

Houston: Top design city!

I had a blast in Houston visiting my Sister and Brother in-law and my adorable little nephew. Liz and I both loveeeee interior design and had a ton of fun window shopping in Houston's design district. I always thought that Houston was famous for being an oil town, but man oH man, it should be famous for it's design. 

My sweet momma sent me a link to one of her favorite Texas bloggers, Cote de Texas, where we found a fun shopping guide.  

Cade: Not knowing what he is getting himself into :) Love this little man. 

First stop. Carl Moore Antiques... This guy is legit. Travels the world and finds pieces and then collects the complete history on them. None in my price range, or even remotely close, but SOOO amazing to look at. 

Amazing display cases. 

French Clock

There were so many incredible and unique light fixtures. I could have spent hours in there :)

Corner hutch.

Our next stop was just a few blocks down the road to a store called M. Naeve. Amazing botanicals in this place. 

We walked across the street to Neal and Co and Watkins and Culver to check out some more unbelievable finds. I would love to pick these people's brains to find out how they find this stuff. 

I know Kait will appreciate this display. 

 Loved this curved hutch. Where do you ever see these. My mom needs this for the top of her stairs :)

The goodness doesn't stop. I was drooling at this point. 

 Last Stop... Found for home. A little more restoration hardware. 

 Need that giant foot. 

 Old gas numbers framed. Cute nursery idea....

I made her do it. LOVE you Elizabeth!

ALL in ALL. We had a blast. Dreamed alot and got some amazing ideas. Move over New york and LA.... Houston is a top competitor. 

Baby Etsy

I LOVE Etsy. I could spend hours and hours searching and sifting through the millions of items, some cheesy, some unique and amazing. Now that I have baby brain, I have a whole new purpose in my Etsy search. I can't wait to find out if we are having a baby boy or girl so I can make some orders :)

Some cute finds.... 

toys.

ADorable bibs!

 Those cheeks. I need them

little lennon. 

Bun in the oven!

Well I really don't blog much, but I will probably be using this blog to update family and friends on our most recent news.  June 2nd or somewhere around there, my hubby and I will be welcoming an amazing little blessing into our family. 

WE were very surprised! We have been getting so excited and amazed at how God is forming this little one... Such a mighty, creative, amazing God we serve!

QUAIL

So I have been on a bloggin hiatus lately. I think being in San Diego for three weeks got me off track and distracted. But my most recent endeavor has been with Michelle Williams at Quail! She is an AMAZING designer and I have always loved her ready to wear line. Her new baby and mine is her bridal line. Easy and AMAZING pieces that mix and match and can be any color you dream up!  Needless to say I am bummed these babies weren't around in 09' when I got hitched. Anywhoo I am excited to get this marketing project started and do some awesome photo shoots and fun giveaways!
