Congrats! I’m due with a boy (our first child) in December. So fun! Aaaand we hopefully find out tomorrow what my brother and sister-in-law will be having. Fun times!
Now then…inquiring minds want to know what name you choose, because I just *love* Eleanor and we’re stumped on boy names!
oh, you’ll love having a son! and, goody for us, now we get to see you Make it Lovely for a boy! I’ve got two boyos myself and I love it when bloggers make things for boys.
Congrats!
(ps. my five year old son’s favorite color is pink. even when other boys tease him, he militantly proclaims his love for pink so he loves to look at your website.)
I can’t remember if I commented already or just thought it in my head! So here we go again or for the first time…yay for boys! I am a first born with a brother who came second and I think that’s a good combo. Boys are awesome and I’m so excited for you. Thanks for your sweet note on my pregnancy post the other day too :)
YAY! Congratulations! Boys are so much fun! However, there are not nearly as many adorable boy clothes as girl clothes {that I have found yet}, so I can’t wait to see what you come up with because you have such incredible taste!
Fun!!! that is so exciting! congrats!! I am loving your blog, not sure how I stumbled across it exactly…but I love it, its my daily thing along with my coffee! I just love your style, house and your outfits. Congrats on the beautiful family!
I love that other bloggers read other blogs! I just saw a post from John @ young house love!
While it would have been equally awesome for you to have another girl, it’s going to be exciting to have one of each ;-) I look forward to ‘meeting’ the little Mr. when he arrives, but till then, I hope you have a fabulous rest of the pregnancy!
P.S. I had my first child, a boy, 4.5 months ago, and he’s clingy, but so delicious ;-)
This is so amazing. My son is 2 and I’m expecting my second as well around the same time you’re due (Feb 16 for me). We just found out that we’re having a girl! Supposedly, there’s only a 20% chance of having the opposite gender, so it’s pretty amazing that this has occurred fairly frequently lately (I have 3 friends who had second children recently or are expecting second children and are all having the opposite gender!).
Congrats, omg! As someone who grew up with a brother who was very close to her in age (I’m 14 months older than him), it’s an absolutely wonderful situation to have. My brother and I fought a lot when we were kids, but as we got older we got closer and closer – he got me interested in a lot of “boy” things (to this day I still like video games and ninja turtles, haha), and I managed to rub some of my “girl” traits off on him (he still takes me shopping to help him pick out clothes, which is insane). We actually ended up in the same grade in High School (he got skipped up), and so most people we know think we’re twins – and honestly, it feels more like we’re twins. Something about having a sibling so close in age is great, like constantly having a friend around.
…Anyway, that was a huge ramble. But I’m so thrilled for you! I hope Eleanor has the same awesome experience with her brother as I’ve had with mine. :)
Congratulations! You are very blessed to have one of each! My sister just had a little boy 12 days ago and her daughter just turned two before the baby was born. This kind of reminds me of your little family now! I love being an aunty! Congrats again!
Congratulations to you all! Such wonderful news and oh so special for you to have the best of both world’s with one of each :) Can’t wait to see a baby boy nursery :)
Very fun! I’m due with a girl next month after 2 little boys. Can’t wait for all the girlishness. I hear boys and girls are very different from the get-go. I know my boys are a little wild and crazy, but I sure do love them! I’m sure you guys will have a blast with one of each!
Wow, over a hundred comments already! You have inspired me to plan my 65 before 65. I have 14 months. It’s nice you are having a boy. One of each is good. I loved your hair red. Ann
Congratulations Nicole! I’m really happy for you and your family. Looking forward to seeing the new nursery design.
By the way – love how serious and grown up Eleanor looks in the photo, very cute!
Best wishes!
I’m ridiculously excited to hear that you are having a boy. I have a little boy too and it is SO MUCH FUN!. Besides I have my own selfish reason: I can’t wait to see in what direction you are taking his nursery and to be inspired by it.
Blessings!
Congrats! Boys are wonderful. I was nervous when I found out we were having a boy–particularly when it came to the nursery. But I couldn’t love him more and I also love how his room turned out. You’re gonna love being a boy mama.
Congratulations Nicole! My little boy is a month younger than Eleanor and he’s into everything at the moment!
I’ve noticed that there are a few comments about little fountains while changing nappies – you might like to check out http://www.bebabean.com – they sell some very useful “Pee-pee teepees” (yep, they are what they sound like!) which come in a range of cute colours and patterns!
Having one of each is AWESOME!!! Our little girl became a big sister in April and loves her little brother! But they are not nearly as close as your two will be. Congrats!!! I love having a boy and a girl!
Congratulations! One of each – how wonderful! (And selfishly, I was secretly hoping to see what awe-inspiring things Mrs. Pink was gonna do with the color blue, since we know it’s not your favorite palette. I’m sure you’ll surprise everyone with your color choices. Cannot WAIT to see what develops!) How’s your new office downstairs coming along, by the way?
So congrats on the pending boydom and all, but I am totally distracted by that necklace you’re wearing there that I am SO LOVE. Where did that come from?!
Congrats! Can’t wait to see how your home evolves with a lil’ boy in the mix. Having 2 boys of my own, I can tell you it will probably involve dirt, cars and lots of potty talk.
Yay! Congratulations. I am having a boy too, he’s my first, and let me tell you start looking now, because cute and stylish baby boy stuff is hard to come by. But makes the hunt all that more fun when you find something. :)
