Okay so after having Nixon, the last thing I wanted to do was put back on my maternity clothes that I wore over and over again for at least 5 months. It was so hard to feel cute again after having a baby and I just needed an updated wardrobe to help me out there. I was looking for something that not only would be cute but comfy and nursing friendly. Boutique Amore came to the rescue and I was able to find just what I was looking for! Both of these skirts and that cute hot pink shirt with the sequence pocket came from their website and they are all SO comfy! Here's the link to their website so you can check their cute boutique out!!
Nixon, I can't believe you are ONE MONTH! It is so hard to think about life without you and what better things we would be doing since nothing can even compare. You are the greatest thing that your Dad and I have ever experienced. I feel so lucky to have such a happy baby where you only cry when you are hungry or have a dirty diaper (you like being clean and I'm grateful for that). You have brought such a special feeling into our home and I couldn't be more grateful that I was chosen to be your momma. I stare and stare at you all day long and would be completely fine not doing anything else. It is so crazy the amount of love I have for you after only having you here for one month!! Call me crazy but I miss you so much even when I am away from you for as little as a 10 minute car ride. I wish that I could just keep you little like this for a lonnnnggg time and love on you every single day. I love you baby boy. xo, momma P.S Everyone says you look just like your daddy (which I'm grateful for and agree with), but still waiting for the day till someone says you look like me!
July 30th, the day I have been counting down for 9 months, has now come and gone. I never knew how hard this day would be with no signs of baby coming. I made the mistake of sitting at home most the day feeling super emotional about our baby boy not here yet and just hoping for something to happen. I should have kept myself busy and out doing something to keep my mind off of it. I was hoping so bad to not have to be pregnant longer than I have to be and really thought he would be early or come on the due date. Since this is my first baby, I have to go one week over to get induced. Since that one week mark falls on a Saturday, they are making me wait till the following Monday, August 8, to be induced. That day seems FOREVER away but is now my new countdown. Anyways, Tyson wanted to take me up to this spot to do some video footage for when the baby does decide to come. I was glad he did this to help me get out and focus on something else for a minute. We also did a few shots since we really haven't taken any maternity pictures so why not take them on our 40 week mark? And also...how hot is my husband!!?? Swooning.
xo,
Hayley P.s. Here is our latest vlog Tyson posted on our youtube page
Let's just start with saying that when it comes to putting things together (furniture, crafts, strollers, chairs, pretty much anything) I am not the first one volunteering. I would rather buy things already made for me and that just come to me as the finished product. With that being said, me and the Nuna Tavo stroller were a match made in heaven. It was the easiest thing to put together with just a few snaps and clicks! There was no drills, allen wrenchs, screws, nothing. The directions were very user friendly for people like me and took me less than 5 minutes to have it put together. It also was shipped to my house in just a few days! I am literally obsessed with this stroller!! Not only does it look beautiful, but it is so well made and steers amazingly. I had my sister Whitney, who is a mom of two boys, test out the stroller since she is experienced in that department, and she also said it was a win. She told me the true test of a stroller is if you can push it with one hand and can steer just fine. The Nuna Tavo passed that test with flying colors. Right away I ordered myself the Nuna Pipa carseat and base to go with it and I am just dying to push my little babe around in it now! You can purchase your Nuna Tavo stroller here and your Nuna Pipa carseat here!

I've
been waiting to post pictures of the nursery until it is completely
finished but I figured that is going to take a lot longer to happen so
here is what is done so far! About a year ago, I saw this wallpaper on
pinterest and told myself I was going to have that one day in my house.
It took me a while to look for it but I FINALLY found it and it was
EVERYTHING I had hoped for!! I had never used wallpaper before so I was
really nervous about ordering it. The girls that own Anewall were so
amazing to work with and have such quality watercolor wallpapers. This
is the tradition vinyl ordered in a custom size and sticks smoothly to
the wall. Couldn't be more happy with it! I also received this
gorgeous, soft rug from Lorena Canals! What's cool about all of their
rugs is that they are machine washable! WIN!! They also donate a
percentage to help support education for kids in India. The bedding and toy bag is from a company in Sweden called
Tellkiddo and they have the CUTEST nursery decor!!! They ship
internationally so check them out! I get so excited to think that our
baby could really be here any day! I walk by the nursery all the time
and just stand in there thinking about our baby boy who is about to join
our family. We can't wait to meet him!!
Ok. I wish I had heard about BumpStyle Box way earlier on in my pregnancy! This is seriously one of the most perfect ways to treat yourself during pregnancy because you feel like its Christmas every month! All you do is sign up online and fill out information that matches your style. You then get assigned a personal stylist that puts together at least 4 different outfits and ships them all straight to your door. You keep the ones that you want, and send the rest of the clothes back and just get charged for the pieces you keep! My stylist was so amazing and I loved every piece of clothing I was sent! Here is the link to their site so you can go order yours!
