Unpack all the newborn girl clothes in the closet, we're having another girl! We couldn't be more thrilled. Honestly, we would have been thrilled with the news of either gender but it is always just so exciting to know! Growing up I always thought I'd either not be a mom or be a boy mom. Clearly I was wrong. And speaking of being wrong, the old wives tales we're wrong again. So maybe my advice for that is do them all, see what they say, and the one with the least wins! HAHA. SISTERS! That is ... continue reading...
One Year of Hilde
You can tell it is her birthday because she is rocking the birthday crown! I found it on Amazon for $6 and thought it was just too cute! I cannot believe I am sitting here and writing this post. How in the world do I have a one year old? I laugh because here I am saying all the cliche things moms say because they are SO TRUE. ONE || TWO || THREE || FOUR FIVE || SIX || SEVEN || EIGHT NINE || TEN || ELEVEN || TWELVE We did monthly updates on Instagram over the year (because who has time to write ... continue reading...
Tooty Fruity First Birthday Party
It's officially official - we have a one-year-old! I can't believe I am saying that. Everyone always says "it goes so fast" and no matter how much you want to roll your eyes at that overused saying - it is so true!! Haha! It feels like just yesterday I was pregnant with her and waiting to see what she would be like and now she is here and so big and so fun! As I type this post I hear her through the monitor chatting with herself and the dolls in her bed. She'll doze off soon and I am in awe ... continue reading...
Boy or Girl? Round 2
It is that time again!! Tomorrow we get to find out if we are having a boy or a girl! I have been asked countless times what I think I am having and I have NO IDEA! When I was pregnant with Hilde, I was so sure she was a boy that when they told us at the ultrasound she was a girl, I was in shock! I was thrilled of course and more than happy with either gender, but being so sure and so wrong just messed with my brain! So this time I have been trying hard not to pick sides just yet. I will be ... continue reading...
Celebrating our 7th Anniversary
On Sunday (August 18th) we celebrated our 7th anniversary. I feel oddly guilty that I didn't get this post up on that exact date. I used to be super on top of the "day of" posts and special annual date posts but since having Hilde here with us, I'm never on time with anything. Even the phone photo was days late to Instagram and really not hard to post at all! hah. I told Bruce that I felt guilty that I didn't edit these photos and post after we got home from our date that night. Or at least ... continue reading...
