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!
Congratulations!
eeeeeeeeee! boys are SO. much. fun. (sure, I’m biased…) and they’re a LOT more fun to dress than you would expect!
congrats!
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
Congrats!! Eleanor is so cute!

So fun. Congrats, congrats!! What a perfect little family you will have.
Congrats~ CUTE picture btw :}
Aww congratulations!!
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!
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 :)
Whee!!! Congrats, congrats!
And I love that little dressie Miss Eleanor is wearing. Perfect for her Weekly Kiddo day!
Yay! Congratulations! I can’t wait to see what you do with a “boy” space!
That is great news. I just love little boys…I should, I have 4. :)
Eleanor looks thrilled, hehe. Congrats!
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!
You can see my little nephew here: http://calicoandco.blogspot.com/2010/09/introducing-my-new-nephew.html
CONGRATS!!! Ooh, it’ll be fun to see what you do with his room!! :)
pink (girl, Eleanor)loves brown (baby boy)
making it a boy!!!!
congrats!!!
sorry for the bad puns.
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!!! I have an 2-year-old daughter and 7-month old son and my girl is like a little mommy to her brother! It’s an adventure for sure!
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!).
Congradulations! You must be so excited!
PS- I adore Eleanor’s shoes. I too have a thing for gold flats.
Oh my goodness! Congratulations!
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 ;-)
Little brothers are so much fun :) Congratulations to you all.
Pure joy just took over me. :)
Make way for blue, pink loves brown.
I’m outnumbered here by the male species. 4 to 1, dog included.
Congrats to you…
Can’t wait to see your modern take on a boy’s nursery…
This is wonderful news. Boys just love their mothers. Differently than girls do. You’ll see!
Congratulations to all of you!

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!
yay! a boy and a girl – how lucky you are. I just love little Elenor’s expression in this picture. So darn cute.
Congrats!
haha you look really disappointed in this picture
Congratulations!! So awesome that you will now have your girl and boy:)
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!

Congratulations. In Dublin that’s called a gentleman’s family.
Congrats Nicole!!!!! Great news!
Boys are wonderful!! You will love it!!!
The look on Eleanor’s face is high-larious.
Yay! Boys are such a blast! (although not as fun to dress)
So exciting!
Congratulations!
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 :)
YEAH! Congrats! Boy!! oh BOY! What a fun time!
Congrats Nicole! I’m new to your blog and I have to say, it’s just beautiful! x
Congrats! Boys ROCK! You are going to have so much fun. Just, uh, start bolting things down now.
Congratulations Nicole! Your lil gal is adorable! Cant wait to see how you do up the nursery.
