She is going to be doing Jules newborn pics too and I can't wait to see how those will turn out b/c Erin is a great photographer!!

Baby Name

I wanted to share why we decided to name our baby girl Julia Carol.

Julia was my grandmas name who was like my second mom to me. She passed away about 3 years ago and we were extremely close! Before she passed I promised her that if I ever had a little girl I would name her after her. Love you Grandma!!

Carol was Robs grandmas middle name and she passed about 2 years ago from cancer. Rob was very close to her as well and we thought what a wonderful way to honor her.

So Julia Carol it is!! Our baby girl is named after two wonderful women that definitely made an impact on us!! We love you!

The Baby Room

This is the "before" picture that was once our spare bedroom. The baby room was Rob's vision. He chose the paint colors and the only thing missing is our rocking chair. We bought a (local) old fashion handmade one that we are picking up tomorrow. When he finished the room we were standing there just taking it all in and he said "This room is made for a lot of tea parties" I just smiled!!






This is a picture of Jules baby crib and changing table that her papa (aka grandpa Carlos) bought for her. The picture above her crib is of an angel that we found and thought above her bed was a perfect place to hang it- to watch over her!




This is a picture of our twin bed in her room for mommy and daddy to sleep in when we are up for many night feedings!! The lavendar blanket on the bed her Nan (aka grandma Patsy) made. This is also a place for our friends and family to stay when visiting!! The pictures that are above the bed I found them on Art.com and fell in love with them.



This is a picture of her name on the wall and again her changing table that we are going to be changing A LOT of stinky diapers on!!



This picture of her first pair of Uggs just like mommy! My dear and wonderful friend Jenn bought them for her!! Sooo cute!

Our Baby Shower

Our baby shower was so much fun! It was wonderful to have everyone we love all in one place. We had such a good time and I think the guys enjoyed the Seahawks game! We had soooo much food b/c my mom always thinks we won't have enough. We got a lot of cute gifts and are very grateful for everyone coming and supporting us.



I love my husband so much! He's just an all around amazing person!



Love this family picture of our best friend Emma and her baby boy Jaeden. We have already arranged the marriage between her boy and our baby girl!!

Congrats to Dimitri and Zhanna Bogomaz

I would love to introduce this new baby girl Evolette Nadia Bogomaz born on Oct. 8th. She is the cutest little thing and has the smallest feet with long toes! This is going to be Julia's new best friend! And this girl already has at least over 300 outfits! You should see her closet!! I was left speechless when I did! Zhanna looks great and is a wonderful mommy and a great example for me to follow! Love you girls!
