Another Year, Another Baby

Once again, it's been quite awhile since I have posted to this blog. Three months ago, we welcomed my second child, Hugh Oliver.  Like big sister, Quinn, he decided to come a little over 2 weeks earlier than my due date.  My maternity leave is flying by, and I should be back to work in less than a month, which is making me depressed!

Quinn is having a bit of a hard time adjusting to being a big sister since she is a baby herself. She is only 20 months older than her little brother. Tantrums are becoming a daily occurrence.  My husband and I have been making certain to make her feel just as important and loved as little Huey.

Quinn finally moved from her nursery into her big girl room. Before that happened, we needed to paint the larger third bedroom upstairs. The previous homeowners had painted the room lavender with an unattractive sponge painted accent wall.

Here she is enjoying an early nap in her big girl bed.

I recently just celebrated another birthday. The past couple of weeks I've been reuniting with old friends from high school and coworkers that I haven't seen in quite awhile since having my baby.

Disney Fun

 

This summer L and I decided that we would renew our Disneyland Deluxe Annual passes after going more than 2 years without them. Now that we have Quinn, we have already gone 3 times to walk around, eat overpriced yummy treats, and just enjoy the summer Disney atmosphere. Quinn still has yet to go on her first official ride (unless you count the tram from the parking structure to the park!). Above is a a family picture with Minnie Mouse and Quinnie Mouse holding hands. This was taken about 2 weeks ago during Quinn's second visit to Disneyland.

Nursery Inspiration

I occupy much of my day dreaming of what my little girl's nursery should look like.  I love the look of a romantic but crisp all white nursery, but at the same time I don't want it to be too fussy.  I like playful colors and whimsy too!

I picked up this bamboo mobile from Petit Collage when Gilt featured them a couple months ago.  Other items I have my eye on are the KC for Kerry Cassill Crib Sheet and Bumper Set and these darling bunny bookends.

I have already been feeling Quinn move for about a month now, but two nights ago while I was working I felt her move from the outside for the first time when I placed my hand on my belly.  Last night L felt it too. He was pretty excited about it.

i couldn't help myself

     

HauteLook has some really cute baby clothes this week.  I just couldn't hold myself back from buying a few things for my little girl.  I bought the items in the first three photos: A Paulina Quintana Dress, along with a Bib & Diaper Cover Set, and the cutest set of Cienta Linen Espadrilles.  Quinn is going to look so cute for basketball season.  Go Lakers!

the reveal

Yesterday, we found out the sex of the baby. The frosting inside the cupcakes from RSM Island Cupcakes was pink.
