I'm Back!

So it's been quite a while since I've posted anything on here! We have had so much going on in our house since August. First and foremost I am so happy to report that my husband and I are expecting our first baby in May! I actually found out back in August (the same morning we had an earthquake along the East Coast!) It's a boy, and OH BOY, have we been busy getting his little room ready, as well as finishing our master bedroom! Our due date is May 2nd and we couldn't be more thrilled! At this point . . . . the countdown is on. Here's a sneak peek at the theme in our little monkey's room.
