for the last year he’s been very adamant about “no baby,” but he seems to be coming around 😉  
OUTFIT DETAILS: 
ON ME: DRESS (made by me, tutorial coming soon), SIMILAR HERE, HERE, and HERE  | |  SIMILAR BOOTS  | |  WATCH  | |  BABY TOMS
ON PHILIP: LASCOSTE TEE  | |  JEANS (different color)  | |  BOAT SHOES  | |  SPORTS COAT (different color)
We are so thrilled to be adding baby number three to our family at the beginning of March! We told the boys a few weeks ago, and they’ve been busy telling everyone from their teachers at church to our neighbors to random ladies at the fabric store. To say we’re all excited is a bit of an understatement. 
One of my favorite things when I’m pregnant is to start collecting little tiny baby clothes. I forget how small they are! We’re finding out the gender in a couple of weeks, but while we’re still in the dark it’s fun to collect a gender neutral pieces that baby will be able to wear, whether it’s a boy or girl. When I found these itty bitty baby TOMS at Nordstrom last month, I was instantly obsessed with them. 
But of course I can never resist the big boy shoes either (or shoes for me, for that matter — shoe lover over here), so I picked up these other cute new balance and vans sneaks for my boys. So if this baby is a boy, he’ll have lots of darling shoes to grow into!

And, if you’re curious, I’ve been feeling great — extra tired, of course, but great overall. We had a little complication at the beginning of this pregnancy, which gave us a little scare (especially scary since I’ve had a couple of miscarriages) but we’ve seen the baby three times in ultrasounds and we’re right on track with growth and everything looks healthy and perfect. We are so, so grateful and feel so blessed.

Can’t wait to share some fun maternity style and tutorials with you over the next five months!

    Congratulations!! I’m so happy for you & wish you all the best!
    ((But on a side note, I honestly was a little disappointed to see such a personal post still be sponsored… It just felt very commercialized. This is such a happy moment & should be focused on celebrating just that. IMO)) Regardless, sending good vibes & prayers your way. 🙂
