Just in time

29 years ago my mom walked down the aisle in a gorgeous Priscilla of Boston wedding gown and married my Dad, and in 46 days I plan on making a similar walk down an aisle in my own Priscilla of Boston wedding dress.

I was so excited when the bridal salon I purchased my dress from, Ava Clara Couture Bridal called to tell me my dress had finally arrived TODAY. I can't wait to go into the salon next week for my very first dress fitting since purchasing the dress several months ago.

It is with sadness that I also found out today that designer Priscilla of Boston, our designer, announced that after 65 years in business they have decided to retire the brand. I had always thought about preserving my wedding gown - the thought came into play when making the decision to purchase the dress that I ended up choosing. Now that I am having a little girl (although I would never push the idea of wearing my gown on her), and with the news that this very important designer will no longer be creating wedding gowns it is abundantly apparent that this is something that I am definitely going to do. I am more excited to wear my dress now then ever! And hope that one day my little girl might want to walk down the aisle in a Priscilla of Boston dress as well.

No more regular t-shirts

It's official. The belly has officially crossed into the "I can no longer wear t-shirts that I used to wear pre-pregnancy" anymore. I've got that white-trash belly shirt look going on where the belly peaks out between the pant line and the end of the T. Note: I have seen this on several occasions during monthly visits to my doctors office, it is ALWAYS unacceptable in public. I only rock the look when we're relaxing at home - Sean doesn't seem to mind Hell, he probably doesn't even notice. He has been pestering me about pictures of the growing bump though, to document this journey, so I will post some soon.

Wednesday I will be 6 months pregnant, so I guess this is what comes with the territory.

On another note, wedding invites went out last week, pre "Hurricane Irene". Hope everyone got a dry invite. :) This means we are getting oh so close to our wedding day. Still so much to do.

Paint love, crib love, BABY LOVE!

I imagine it will only be moments, if it hasn't happened already, that anyone that reads this is going to be over hearing about how in love with Baby S. I already am. I can't help myself. I bet every soon to be mommy would agree that the morning/all day sickness, weight gain which makes none of your clothes fit, and sudden acne outbreaks suck suck suck... but picturing the moment you get to sqeeze + kiss your little one makes up for it all. For me... the decorating is making up for it all. It's my salvation from the craziness that is currently my life. I can throw on some yoga pants and a t-shirt, grab the laptop, and shop Etsy until my heart is content. Every day on my way home from work I call Sean and it's like Christmas... more packages have arrived. Yesterday it was Baby S.'s crib! Yay! Sean has been such an amazing helper. He finished painting her room already and moved almost everything out of it into the spare room (which is currently a disaster of mostly my stuff that needs to be gone through b/c he already went through his junk) Now we get to set up the crib and I will get to start the decorating madness! Yay!

Nursery love

I am having the greatest time planning for the Baby's nursery. Ever since I found out we are having a girl my main focus has been getting things to fill this magical baby room. I'd venture to say I am mildly obsessed with making this the perfect room for my little girl. For now we are keeping the details under wraps, but here is a sneak peak at one of the many treasures I have picked up!
