Can you believe it?!!! He is FINALLY here!!! Born on 2-10-12 at 9:52 pm--a healthy 9lbs 6 ounces and 21.5 inches!!! We couldn't be happier to have Baby E here in our arms :) I don't like to say it was a difficult pregnancy...but there certainly were many obstacles that came along the way. Babies are miracles and Baby E is truly proof of that!
So here we are...our family of 3...waiting...
...and waiting....and distracting ourselves with iPhone games....
...and now we are the parents and a BIG sister to the sweetest little boy!
These wonderful pictures were taken by the super talented Jenny Waring...be sure to check her out if you are local :)
We are so thankful for our wonderful Doctors and the AMAZING nurses that had a hand in Baby E's arrival (so thankful that I made special treats for our hospital stay...check back for a how-to on this soon)!
And here is where I thank you...thank you for reading and continuing to visit my blog! It has helped me through this pregnancy to have a happy and healthy baby boy :)
That's My Daily Dose!
Tomorrow is Mardi Gras!!! I have been wanting to make a less ambitious version of a King Cake for some time now. It had to be quick and easy considering I have a toddler and newborn at home...so here's what I came up with: Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls and Mardi Gras colored sugar sprinkles (that's it!)
Separate the cinnamon rolls and unroll each. Twist each roll and then form a circle. Bake at 400 degrees for about 9-10 minutes. Ice and decorate with colored sugar....it's that easy :)
And since they're mini--everyone can have their own!
Baby details soon (hopefully tomorrow)...but you know how it is to find a moment these days :)
That's My Daily Dose!
Did you get a chance to see these featured over at one of my favorite blogs--
Living Locurto? They are the candy covered strawberries I made for my daughter's "Olivia" birthday party that I thought would be great for Valentine's Day too! Just a playful twist that would be a fun surprise for your little ones (or big ones)!

TA-DA!!! It's finally done...and just in time I might add (since our little one will be here ANY time now!). I thought I'd take you on a quick tour of our little boy's room before I'm tied up for a bit ;) I wanted something modern, relaxing, and different for the nursery--so the theme we came up with is:

I've definitely been nesting here lately--hospital bag is packed, baby room is 98% complete, and house is getting in order. For some reason I felt the need to spruce up my phone a little bit too before baby:) This is an easy (and affordable) way to make your own interchangeable iPhone covers for just pennies!

A very important holiday is coming up and all too often it is over-SHADOWed by Valentine's Day :) It's my belief that we should celebrate Groundhog Day with the same vigor as every other holiday...after all, it does determine when spring will arrive!
