Oh Baby!

Hello! It's been a while since I last posted but I have good reasons.... promise! 2013 so far has been a year of BIG events. I recall telling my husband on New Year's Day that we are going to be extremely busy this coming year and oh man has it been. I feel like I can finally stop & take a breather from it all. Amongst the crazy schedules, meticulous planning, detailed designing & many celebrations we were involved with so far, I can say that we have been blessed with so much love and support from our dear family & friends.

Just a peek into some of our BIG celebrations of the year, I turned 30 in May...... geez.... tell me about it. We helped my sister-in-law & her fiancé celebrate their beautiful rustic & romantic wedding & lastly....... did I mention we are expecting?!?!?!

Some of you may already know, however I wanted to make it official by posting this announcement & video we whipped up together on the blog. Brent & I are SUPER EXCITED for our little bundle of joy & we can't wait to meet our little baby Doan face to face.

I am 16 weeks preggo, well into my second trimester & I'm feeling great! We don't know the gender yet, but hope to find out really soon so we can start to put the nursery together. I guess as a designer, I can't help but have an obnoxious amount of decor ideas for the baby's room. Hopefully in figuring out the gender, I can begin to edit my ideas down to one... or a few... hahaha!

Any advice for us expecting parents would be appreciated. Or any good baby tips or baby decor idea sites are a great help. It's a little overwhelming planning for something so new to us, like a baby. However, overall we are so ecstatic to finally begin our family.

A huge thanks to my brother for shooting & editing this video. And to our parents & siblings for your love during this precious time.
