Shopping is hard.

Hello! So I've been trying to find cute, flattering clothes that will fit my belly and I've been having a hard time.
Every time I go into a maternity section the clothes are awfully boring and way overpriced. So I've been settling for leggings and maternity tank tops to pair with my already loose fitting clothing. Its so not fun. I love fashion and dressing myself but not right now. I honestly want to lay in sweats and Tommy's super soft teeshirts all day long. And as for the days where I feel like dressing up, well,  that changes quickly. Which is also why I'm having such a hard time finding a dress for my shower. I tried on a few this weekend and like an idiot, I grabbed a small in one dress and was QUICKLY baffled by how far up my legs it didn't go! Haha. Granted I did find one dress that I loved and was perfect for the theme of my shower, THE ZIPPER WAS BROKEN. I should have bought it anyway and just had it fixed but I didn't because I knew the dress was on Forever21.com. OR so I thought. It's gone. So now I don't know what to do. LOL But I did get this great sweater, It was perfect  for describing what was inside my belly.

Nursery Ideas

One fun part of planning for a baby is the nursery. I'm having a hard time deciding on bedding but considering we wont have an actual room for the baby until AFTER he's here (:( ) I have some time. But it's still fun to think about and Pin!

Check out all my pins: http://www.pinterest.com/lalalove88/


Im loving the blue carpet and blue dresser in this room. We did get a white crib and white changing table.
I also plan on a white and grey rocker and glider. The drapes are pretty and give a nice pop of pattern too.


I really like the white rug and the wooden design. It's masculine and simple.


Tommy and I love elephants. And I love white accents. I think this would be another masculine attribute for baby's nursery.


I really love the chevron wall. and the draping on the wall.

I love the grey wall, the book shelf, chandelier, and netting. I also thing the striped blanket makes a great POP!


This wallpaper is my FAVORITE!

 I love the grey stripes! If you know me, you know I love stripes.
With the blue accent.



 Love the wall color and chevron with the white pop.

Love this wall color too!
and the off white furniture is adorable!

I love the grey and the bunch of paper balls.

Great wall color and I like the placement of the picture frames.

Again, Grey wall and I love the pictures! 


I love the stripes! and the mirror.

I like the draping above the crib in this picture.

 I love the vintage feel with the flag banner and the bright white dresser.




Now this, This is my favorite! I want to do this for sure.


CHEVRON!!!! and draping!!! with white furniture!! Love<3

Boy oh boy! It's a boy!

On January 27th we found out that baby Smith is a little boy!! We are Very excited and I can finally say "my son". Its totally weird but all sorts of amazing!!! We can't wait to meet our little nugget. The funny thing is when the Dr. told us it was a boy he actually said "OMG look at that thing!" haha. We are still talking about names but we both like Camden Thomas Smith. Tommy also really likes Liam, and I do also I just think Camden fits our style a little better than Liam.

I know I said I was going to take some new pictures. Well, I haven't yet because I have actually been in such terrible pain. My shoulder is so sore and there is nothing that makes it go away EXCEPT for sleeping. So getting out of bed is torture for me lately. Literally. And when the shoulder pain subsides for a minute I have awful toothaches and it feels like all of my teeth are going to fall out. I'm a mess, and getting cute for a camera is not what I feel like doing AT ALL! I'm just worried this stays this way until the baby is born. 4 more months of this is going to kill me. I'm hardly getting any work done at my office because I can't really concentrate on anything besides getting comfortable. I'm praying to God that this goes away or I'm going to be bed ridden! 
In other news, we received our changing table and our crib on top of our travel system! I am super excited for that. We also got a daddy diaper bag from Tommy's amazing friends! We got the Diaper Dude Diaper Bag from Amazon.com

He loves it and wants to use it as a work bag now. But, no.

I'm also having a really difficult time picking a crib set. I don't want something generic like you find in stores or online, so of course I'm glued to Etsy as usual! I have some time but I know its going to FLY by. That's ok because we want to use a bassinet first.



And here is a look at our little thumb sucker Himself!!!
