Liam Jackson | Its a boy! | Nursery | Pregnancy today

We found out the baby is a BOY! :D (Can't believe I haven't posted this yet!)

LIAM JACKSON BARNWELL!!!!!!! {due around October 15, 2013}

Jude got to announce the news to everyone :)

I must say, initially I hoped for a girl since we already had a boy, but the moment I saw that ultrasound and heard "it's another boy!" I no longer cared! I am just so beyond thrilled! Just as thrilled as I was to hear Jude was a boy. Thinking about 2 little babies lovin' on their momma like Jude does now just melts my heart! And I can't wait to see him and Jude playing together. It is going to be the sweetest thing my eyes have seen.

So, the fun part. Getting ready for Liam :)

We went to Ikea this past Saturday. Yes, Drew & I had a DATE by ourselves! :D That was perhaps the best part... spending a full day hanging out together (although we did miss jude by that evening). It was such a special time.

Anywho, the reason we went was to finish getting the things we need for Liams nursery. We are doing a similar (using some of the same peices) but totally different look to Judes. We are doing grey walls, white crib, greyish brown dresser, brown glider that is in Judes room, white bookshelf with greyish brown baskets, and the same sheets jude has since he has several of them. We figured why buy new? Also, we are taking the bedskirt from Judes room and putting it on Liams crib because with the way judes crib is made you literally can't even see the skirt on it. So basically we are doing light grey/white/brown nursery with baby blue accents and I want to add simple zoo animals in neutral colors too. We got him a grey pillow with elephants on it and I want to get him a girrafe of some kind for the room.

I want to order him this print from Etsy as well:

& some other similar things! So cute!

I promise to have pics as soon as we get to work putting it all in his room! It will make much more sense then! haha! 

Here is where I got lots of my inspiration:

Things I look forward to about having a newborn baby again:

-going into labor (didn't get to do this on my own last time)

-nursing agian (so miss jude doing this!)

-baby wearing/ snuggling/ cosleeping

-teaching Jude gentleness

-cloth diapering them both (hopefully! we just started trying this out. will do another post about that!)

-bringing another blessing into our home!

Current Pregnancy Symptoms (Im 19 weeks)

-increased amount of freckles on my arms.. didn't have this symptom with Jude

-LOTS of kicks! Liam's placenta is posterior (in the back) so I can feel him a whole lot more than I could Jude (his placenta was anterior, in the front)

-that's pretty much it right now! oh how I love the second trimester!!!
