AUBREY KINCH

I originally shared Hollyn's nursery, here, but you know how living in a space things get tweaked and updated and a little more... lived in. That's happened! We added some gorgeous Just Born bedding from their Keepsake Collection, pulled in this amazing blue chest from The Land of Nod for blankets and toy and added a few more pieces to the walls to really make it feel homey and perfect for our girl.

Oh, you have no idea how excited I am to share these pictures! I wasn't even planning on doing maternity pictures this time around and I felt content with that up until about 32 weeks. Something clicked in me then that I haven't been documenting myself and this growing belly like I did with Emery and although I may be okay with that, maybe Hollyn would want some pictures knowing it was her inside her mama. Cliche? Totally. But it could be a keepsake she wants and I would feel terrible if it came down to that and I didn't have some for her.

Hospital bag chat! I had a few requests for what I was packing for Hollyn on instagram so I thought I'd pull a little post together to share. It's not necessary to really bring a lot for baby but it makes your stay more comfortable whether it's one night or a few nights. Comparatively to our first time around, I checked off some boxes of what it was nice to have then and what I wish I had brought (burp cloths!) so this is it.

Happy Friday! It's time to share Hollyn's sweet little bedroom and I am so pleased with how it turned out. I wanted to go with a more eclectic vibe and pull pieces we could use with her over time to give her a toddler room and then big girl room. I started with the rug and knew everything else would fall into place pretty easily based on that one piece and I love the way it turned out.

Here they are- the limited and few shots I was able to capture at my baby shower my mom threw but at least it's something to document the special day she planned for myself and baby Hollyn! She's always so prompt and on top of making any event memorable and enjoyable for all parties and the day didn't disappoint. From the sweet details of pictures of Andrew and I as babies to using a crib to collect cards and gifts, it was so lovely!

Eeep! I am so excited to share these beauties with you! I shared here my top picks and then my mom and I started talking through how she wanted to do the shower so we changed our path on style of things and ended with these amazingly detailed and lovely invitations. We didn't spare anything and went with a full suite- envelope liners, return address stickers, recipient addressing and custom stamps to match. It's all about the details and I think being on the receiving end of these invites will be an experience in itself when being opened to ohhh and ahhh over.

I am 20 weeks pregnant so we've hit the halfway mark with our sweet girl! I feel like I've blinked and it's gone by so quickly whereas with Emery, it's all I could think about and focus on so it went so slowly. I don't have time to really mull it all over running after a toddler and keeping a 10 year old with a broken leg entertained... lol!

My first time around with my baby shower we did a tea party which turned out so beautiful thanks to my mom and sister in law so this year I know they're already talking about throwing something again but I want to keep it clean and simple and oh, so baby!

another sweet girl arriving

November 2016!

We are thrilled to share we have another sweet girl baking away and is due to arrive just 4 weeks shy of Drake's birthday and 2 weeks shy of Emery's! Everything is looking great, she's totally healthy and we're so excited it's all coming to fruition again.
