    Congrats! You should check out my blog: http://4mothers1blog.wordpress.com. We are four women with 10 boys between us. I just had our third boy, three weeks ago. You’ll love having a little guy! Such fun!

    Word of caution: boys think everything is a ball and can be tossed. Including: tv remotes, all plastic toys and the occasional shoe!

  • Dawn
    September 28, 2010 at 10:06 am

    Congrats! I was in your shoes once…;) My daughter was exactly 19 months old when my son was born. Little tip, keep your daughter on her same schedule and put your son on the same one but add feedings and naps in between. That way, at least twice a day you will have free time for yourself while the little ones nap…;) I had a total of 5 hours a day all to myself. It was bliss. Believe me, you’re going to need it. So snatch it up when you got it…:)

  • Laura_theSCOOP
    September 28, 2010 at 10:13 am

    How wonderful Nicole – congrats! I wasn’t sure how I would “feel” about a boy after being so excited about my girl, but as you’ll see, there’s something different/special about the relationship between a little boy and his mama that’s really unexpected and dear! Continued best wishes!

  • Diana Smith
    September 28, 2010 at 10:24 am

    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. :)

  • Kristina
    September 28, 2010 at 10:32 am

    I cannot wait at ALL to see the cuteness he turns out to be (and that you dress him up…in? as? Is that the correct way to say that?). Congrats!

    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.

  • Maggie
    September 28, 2010 at 11:05 am

    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?!

  • Melissa
    September 28, 2010 at 11:15 am

    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?

    All my best,
    Melissa

    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!

    Congratulations again!!

  • Amy
    September 28, 2010 at 2:09 pm

    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.

  • Rebecca
    September 28, 2010 at 2:26 pm

    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!
