The Princess Has Arrived!

I mean who are we kidding, you know this baby is going to be a princess! I am so excited to announce that she is here, I have been meaning to give you a little peek of her but I pretty much just stare at her all the time. I plan on going into detail and posting a few of the 300 pictures that have accumulated on my camera in just 5 days but for now I will leave you with this. Nora Leigh was born Tuesday June 10th at 7:32 pm, she weighed 7 lb 4 oz and was 21 1/2 in long! We are home with her now and absolutely out of our minds in love! If you want to see daily pictures of Nora you can follow me on Instagram! But here are a few for now!

 

Okay, I am going to snuggle with my sweet girl now! See y'all soon!

 

 



Nora News + We've Been Featured!!!

Hey y'all! I had planned on doing my final bumpdate today but then I got a very exciting email that changed my plans a little bit!

 

 I have been following Melissa at Fawn Over Baby ever since I saw her daughter's GORGEOUS nursery on Pinterest & then spent hours perusing all of her posts! Her DIY posts are truly inspiring and I would give anything to have even a fraction of her creativity. She also features all things baby related and today she is sharing our maternity session! I know I have bored y'all to death with those pictures but if you want to see them again head on over to her blog and check it out! And even if you are sick and tired of seeing them then you should at least go visit Melissa's awesome blog!

The timing of this couldn't be more perfect because we are being induced tomorrow!! We are checking in to the hospital at 4:30 a.m. to begin the process and hopefully we will have our sweet girl soon thereafter! I can not even begin to describe it. I am kind of all over the place, terrified, excited, nervous, pretty much every emotion you could think of I am feeling. It is completely surreal that sometime in the next day or so we will have our baby girl in our arms!

 

 

 

 

 



My Favorite Five On Friday Yet!

Hey yall! This is a very exciting Friday for so many reasons! I am thrilled to link up with April and the girls for Five On Friday to share the excitement!

 

{one} Our best friends are getting married tomorrow!! Most of y'all know Lauren from her blog Peach State Of Mind, well her & her hubby-to-be just so happen to be mine and my hubby's real life besties! We are so so so excited to see them tie the knot tomorrow! Paul is in the wedding and I was originally until I went and got my self knocked up and Lauren was kind enough to understand that a 9 months pregnant bridesmaid wouldn't be fun for anyone! So I will be sitting and watching and hoping Miss Nora is not the dramatic type who decides she needs to steal the spotlight and come in the middle of the wedding. But who am I kidding, no one could steal the spotlight from Lauren, she is going to be one STUNNING bride! 

I stole your picture Lauren! 

{two} This will be my last Five before I become a Mommy!!! My blood pressure has been slightly elevated for a couple weeks now so the doctor decided he will induce next week! I was originally against being induced but will do whatever the doctor says is best for me and baby girl. I find out today when the big day will be! I can't wait to kiss these sweet little lips! 

{three} Okay so those were really the only two reasons this was such an exciting Friday. Everything else kind if pales in comparison! When the doctor told me I had to start taking it easy I decided to use my couch time for some crafting! I made this cute little headband holder and quickly realized I need about five more to fit all of miss priss's' headbands! She is going to be one stylin little lady! 

{four} As much as I had hoped to have baby girl's nursery complete by the time she got here, it just didn't work out that way. We have been so busy and I am still working full time (well today is my last day). So that hasn't left much time for nursery projects. Technically the room is done as far as the necessities go, there are just a few little projects I want to finish before sharing! But we did score big time last week after a trip to ikea! I was so frustrated when I couldn't order the rug I wanted online because I really didn't want to drive all the way to downtown atl. Looking back I am so glad we had to make the drive, we found so many other things we needed by actually going to the store and my original rug ended up not being what I wanted once I actually saw it. We got those ledges in white to use as bookshelves, hubby spotted that PRECIOUS little lamp that I am so obsessed with and we decided to go with the "tejn" rug instead of the "rens" because the "rens" ended up being extremely yellow in person.The "tejn" is smaller than what I originally planned but it was only $10 and I honestly want to use it more as a photo prop than a rug anyway!

{five} I have absolutely LOVED being pregnant! I have been beyond blessed with an incredibly easy pregnancy and I already know I am going to miss having my sweet girl moving around in my belly. That being said, this ecard definitely describes my mood this week!
