Introducing....

Little miss Lillian Gray!!! I  know I am about 3 weeks late introducing her into the blogging world, but obviously things have been a little hectic. And one of the many things that has fallen through the cracks, has been my lack of blogging! I am however going to make a point to get back on track, just don't be suprised at first if the posts are more of pictures rather than words. With the lack of sleep I often get at night, it's a miracle I can carry on a conversation during the day. But oh is it ever SOOO rewarding and worth it!! We are absolutely loving life with Lillian in it, and can't even begin to imagine what it was like before she arrived. We have been so truely blessed at this little miracle of life and the joy she has brought us.
Here are a few pictures of LGs' arrival...

Tres Chic:Kitchen

While the hubs and I have done quite a bit of work and renovations to our home, there is still one room that needs a major face-lift...the KITCHEN! It isn't bad, just rather small, lacks counter space and has tall cabinets that really aren't usable. Our dining room is right off of it, which essentially has two walls that can easily be knocked down to create a much larger, functional space. I like to use the excuse that I would cook more if I had more space to work with, but somehow I don't think my hubby buys that one :) Anyway-while browsing through my daily reads aka: blog reading I stumbled upon Elements of Style and this little brownstone kitchen that she helped renovate. I must say, I am obsessed with the trellis like wallpaper backing the glass shelves (see below). It definitely sparked a ton of ideas, and has me very excited for when the time comes to taking out the hammer and begin doing some tearing down. It's the one room in the house that I can't wait to do a little restructuring and designing. Below are a few other ideas that I would love to incorporate...

Final Countdown

It is finally here...the last week (hopefully) before the arrival of our little peanut! And boy are we ready!! It's so hard to believe that by Sept 17th or 18th at the latest, she will be here. And then, I can finally refer to her by a name!!! Yes, the hubs and I at last have a name picked out. I don't know that I thought the day would ever come, but we decided. We're thrilled and can't wait to share the fun news.
Unfortunately while at the doctor this week there wasn't much change, so we continue to wait! She's still snug as a bug and healthy (which is all that matters!), but I'm hoping that since "Labor Day" is upon us this weekend, perhaps she'll decide to make an appearance. That would be fitting, now wouldn't it?! :)

Here's to hoping that the next 'baby update' will actually be an update on her arrival! Come on out baby girl, we are ready to meet you!!
Stay tuned
