HOLIDAY DRESSING [for your little]

Happy Black Friday! Hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving. We're celebrating with family on Sunday, so yesterday was a lazy day for me and the babe (as in the baby, not my husband - he was working). However, I already have the next big holiday in the back of my mind ... seeing that it's Emerson's first holiday season, one of the many things I've been looking forward to is picking out her first Christmas outfit. Since I'm a crazy over-analyzer, I went ahead and created style boards for my top 3 options before deciding. I love them all, so I figured I'd share in case anyone else is looking for a little outfit inspiration for their own baby girl. Which one did I pick? You'll see December 25!

Get the look:
Fair Isle Sweater |  Navy Dress | Red Ruffle Tights | Gold Shoes (similar) | Red Velvet Dress | Black Bow Shoes | Red Stripe Tights |  White Terry & Tulle Dress | All Bows from Splendid Bow Shop 

20 weeks!

So tomorrow is officially the halfway mark: 20 weeks down and 20 weeks to go with this pregnancy, but today held all of the excitement as we went in for a checkup and saw a healthy, active baby GIRL! I don't know if I'm not surprised (because I assumed girl from the beginning, as did everyone else we talked to), or shocked (because for sure it would be the opposite of what I thought it was, right?), but either way we are so very, very excited. I didn't know if she would cooperate based on the positioning she was in, and at one point she even shielded her privates with her hand while we tried to look (so modest), but eventually we saw what we needed to see (or at least the ultrasound tech did, because I didn't see much of anything I could make sense of at that angle). Of course we had to stop at Target after dinner where we were each going to pick out one baby girl outfit; I picked the one above, and Alexis left with two outfits because he couldn't decide. She will be a daddy's girl for sure, and I can't wait!
