the big announcement and a giveaway

well folks, guess what?
it's round two in the baby department for the bishop family.
WE ARE HAVING ANOTHER BABY!!
can you believe it?
we couldn't either and boy has it been a struggle to keep it a secret.
handsome= best secret keeper ever.
me= not really that great at keeping secrets.

i am almost three months which means there is a light at the end of the tunnel.
i do not have great first trimesters and it is wearing on me.
the little has also figured out that mom is not doing so hot.
lately i have been finding him in the bathroom, leaning over his baby bjorn potty and making pretend gagging noises.
so glad to have passed that on.
baby two seemed to make itself known right away with really bad nights and a quite the bump to prove it.
(just when i thought i was in peak condition. sneaky little thing.)
handsome and i still can't figure out how we got pregnant in the first place, i suppose it's one of the mysteries of God. (wink wink)
even though i almost loathe being pregnant, i actually am more than thrilled to bring a new someone to our home.
it seems to have made it's way into our lives at a really crazy time. (blake starts full-time school in a week and goes to a little less than part-time work...ahh)
but for some reason i am not nervous/worried/stressed. (handsome probably is as he has been dubbed family provider)
i am just ready.
the little?
oh he will be just fine. (cross your fingers)
now it's just time for april to get here already!
(probably not the wisest way to approach a pregnancy, nine months takes forever!)

so to celebrate this blessed occasion i have teamed up with a new found favorite on etsy to give you something to celebrate too!


HEN&CO has become a recent obsession.
i was perusing the etsy streets to find something inspiring and found her shop to be delightful.
she has the most simple style.
totally to my liking.
i love all her paper goods.
her Christmas cards ROCK (that deserves a definite capitalization), but i mostly fell in love with her baby items.




do these onesies not scream my name?
hopefully they scream yours too as they are this week's loot.
one lucky winner will win the onesie of their choice.
(maybe you don't personally need a onesie, but i know a few baby showers that these would be a hit at.)

To enter:
1. Visit HEN&CO on etsy.
2. Come back and comment on what is your shop item favorite. (it will be a hard decision, i understand)
best of luck this week.
and as always, the winner will be announced this weekend.
