Last week, our close friends, Matt and Erin, came over to our house to do a gender reveal. Erin had just picked up the cake from Sydney (who was so tight-lipped, even to me!), and Matt is a dentist at a practice very close to our house (Parker-Nickolas-Read). So he left work, came immediately to our house, and they anxiously cut the cake to discover a pink center! Another baby girl. Their daughter, Parker, is 1.5 – just a bit younger than Emilia, and she is going to be the sweetest big sister. We took some announcement photos yesterday, and I could eat Parker up in these! I’m so excited for baby Nickolas #2! Gimme all the girls!
Big News!
We are so very excited to share the news that we’re expecting another baby girl, due February 3 (her Aunt/’Tetka’ Ivana’s birthday!). Isla already talks about her little sister all of the time and likes to put her head on my stomach to try to hear her. We’re looking forward to watching her in the role of big sis’ (although we’re aware it’s not always a walk in the park!). Little one already has a name, which we plan on sharing later this week!
I’m 13 weeks and 2 days and finally starting to feel less nauseous, which I am pretty happy about! Before we left Texas, we took some family photos with my sweet and insanely talented friend, Courtney Brown (website // IG), near her house. Despite it being 99 degrees outside, it was the perfect evening, and I’m thrilled with how the photos came out.
I am so, so grateful for the wonderful people involved in these photos, including Courtney Leigh‘s photography // Hair and makeup by Britt Lais of Butter Artistry // Floral crowns and garlands from Maggie of Bramble & Bee // Chairs from Aztec // Isla’s dress from Gap Kids // Isla’s bow from Willow Crowns // My dress from Copper Theory // Monica at Paper Flour Ink for her name announcement! Can’t wait to share that!
