oh hey, okay im still looking for my hour to blog all about our lil man finn. but until then I had to give his big sis liv a shout-out for already being an amazing big sister and such a ray of sunshine. she was officially "free n a haf" yesterday. and it looks like she took it upon herself & decided she needed a photo opp to document the day. awesome.

it's a...

B-O-Y! finn judson barrett arrived thursday september 22nd at 10:45 pm. weighing in at a plump 8 lb 5 oz. & 21 inches long. he is simply perfection and we are beyond thrilled to be blessed with this little boy. as most of you know, finn's birth did not go as we had "visioned" & i have so so so much i want to write about this. i've thought about it so many times on how to put into words on how the first two weeks of finn's life have changed all of our lives forever. how i experienced the highest highs and the lowest lows in 14 days. i need a good healthy hour with no distractions to really just blog my heart out...ha. and i need to be functioning on a bit more sleep. ;) but for now i just wanted to let the blogworld know i am alive. the barretts are officially a family of four. and are still thanking GOD every day for healing our sweet finn.

irish fest!

we clogged. liv got her face painted for the first time. we ate. we searched for good irish baby names. i snuck a couple swigs of guiness. good times.

new obsession.

oh hey. i'm still pregnant. to be honest, i'm really not miserable...just super excited! i have lots of things i should blog about...but i have a new obsession that has sucked.me.in. & taken away from my bloggin time. holy pinterest! does everyone know about this? if not, sign up. it makes me think i'm going to be more organized, a cook, a professional decorater & leaves me inspired every single time i log in. but here's the truth...

haha. liv and dutch both had strep throat this week! ugh! glad this "bun" stayed in the oven to get us through that...& so thankful my immune system seems to kicking butt so far! oh! and i'm dilated to a "3." which supposedly doesn't mean much. keep you lovebugs "posted." xoxo.

afternoon chill session

i'm officially done working. i'm resting. nesting. & getting some priceless quality time with my gal. having contractions more frequently but nothing consistent. we are anxiously awaiting the arrival of this babe. can't wait for the best surprise ever! liv just "knows" it's a girl...who she's determined to name pink and purple barrett. awesome.

hint, hint dutch.

do y'all believe in "push presents?" you know a lil sumpthin' that hubs so thoughtfully came up with all on his own to show his appreciation of gaining 40plus pounds and growing a healthy happy baby for the past 40 weeks. a lil 'sumpthin "thanking" you for pushing out that amazing bundle of joy. for being gorgeous, never complaning & just being a beautiful person inside and out. you know, that gift? well, whether you "believe" in them or not.. i sure as heck do. how sweet are these?

the ring is "stackable" to go with your wedding bands. stop it. it says mama.

and how perfect is this double-strand initial charm necklace for #2? hard to pre-order this one since we don't know if this peanut actually has nuts or not.. haha.
