Life of BB

Now where on earth did Noah's red hair come from? Well, my entire pregnancy it was a running joke that Mr. B and I would have a red head, dare I say, "ginger." I really thought there was just no way seeing that Mr. B and I are dark haired, dark eyes, olive skinned.. Here is the proof : Us circa 2007 ... but well, it happened. And here is our little red ! So where did it come from? Well there are recessive genes on both sides of our families. Here's some proof. My side is simple, my mother : And well, Mr. B's side is a little more complex. We have lots of aunts with red and blonde hair colors, my father in law is a blonde and my grand mother in law (miss her so so much) to me, was a red, but the verdict is still out on that ! Mr. B has cousins who have red hair and he also has cousins who have red headed kids !  Mr. B with his aunts. See the reds and blondes? My father in law and grandmother in law Mr...

Ah picking the announcement was an ordeal in itself. I didn't love any that I saw. It took some time but I finally stumbled upon one that I instantly loved from Simplytoimpress.com ... and here it is.                                      Along with the announcement we included our little family's address label =)  We've had this label before but it was awesome to add our little red.

  As I mentioned in my last post my pregnancy was very long. 10 months to be exact ! But in all seriousness it was the hardest thing, by far, that I've done. I was never comfortable, I was never over the moon excited because I was scared. Scared straight.   Mr. B & I were very lucky, we only tried for three months before we got pregnant. We knew that we wanted to try in the new year of 2012. I was finished with school and ready for the next chapter in our lives. I was actually over ready. I couldn't wait to be pregnant, be a mom, and see Mr. B be a dad. My pregnancy started out just like everyone elses I assume, calm? I tested five days before I was due to get my period. I remember I had gotten the stomach bug that was going around last year and the Monday I tested, I was still off from work because of it. I texted my sister asking if she thought it was too early to test, she said no... so off I went to test. It came up with a faint line of...

Noah Daniel B... he blessed us with his amazing self on December 6th, 2012 at 5:52 pm. He was 8lbs 2oz. and 19 3/4 inches long. It was a long pregnancy but it ended with such a beautiful baby sent from above. He's amazing. Every day I love him more and more. Each night I whisper in his ear that I want him to grow up to be kind, humble and caring of others and of course, that I love him. I pray he listens, it's like my heart knows he will. I seriously love this little guy !     Here are some pictures from our five hour, you heard that right, photo session with an amazing photographer. She was so kind, calm and soothing to our little baby B.  I am so happy that one of my friends connected me with her. What a blessing. Here are some of the sneak peaks of the session.   Check her out here http://jbennettphotography.com/  and be sure to like her here https://www.facebook.com/jbphotographyNY?notif_t=fbpage_fan_invite    ...

I wrote this post about a week before I had our son. I never posted it to my blog but wanted to share. It's almost been a month since baby B's arrival. Things are still a bit upside down over here, but boy are we in love !!!   It took a bit but it has all finally come together, I have some more final touches but not too much to go.  This is the most modern room in our home, even with it's vintage touches.  It took me a while to figure exactly which direction I wanted to go with in regards to decorating. Bedding was hard because I literally hated everything. I thought I found something on ETSY but once we found out it was a boy, I wanted something a little more boyish. The one thing that I can say always remained constant regardless of the sex of the baby or style of the room,  was the Jenny Lind crib. It's my favorite. Once I figured out what colorings I wanted for the room, I knew the black was the right choice. So here is the breakdown of...
