On December 31st at 4:48 pm Theodore was born.

He weighed 5 lbs 13 ounces and is perfectly healthy.

I was discharged form the hospital on January 3rd and was able to bring Theo home with me the same day.

What a treat.

The healing from my c-section has me moving very slowly, but I am beyond thrilled to have this little boy join our family.

His head full of black hair makes me melt.

Emory is so excited about having Theo join our family.

He was absolutely worth the 12 weeks of bed rest.

We just love him.

Today is the day.

In less than 3 hours I will be arriving at the hospital for my scheduled c-section.

I am so excited to finally meet the little man that has consumed my every thought for the last 12 weeks.

I am also thrilled to say goodbye to bed rest!

I will be back soon to share pictures of baby Oakey.

Hopefully we will figure out a name in the next couple of hours…ahhh!

Also, you can follow me on instagram if you want a picture overload, my username is @danielleoakey.

Wish me luck 🙂

Yesterday I got the paints out so Em and I could create some art work for my hallway gallery wall.

In the past, I have given her a variety of paint colors and let her create.

Although I always find her work adorable, it usually turns into a brownish green masterpiece.

Since I knew I wanted to hang this piece in my hallway gallery wall, I specifically selected two colors, pink and gold.

I also gave her two paint brushes, one for each color. She loved having two brushes and it helped prevent the colors from mixing together.

I think it tuned out perfectly…

And I love how it fits in perfectly with my other pieces.

Now every time I walk through my hallway, I can’t help but smile.

I absolutely love having her original art pieces hanging in my home!

I hope you had a Merry Christmas! 

I was lucky enough to get discharged from the hospital after 10 long weeks so I could spend the holidays at home with my family.

I could not have asked for a better gift.

I am now 35 weeks pregnant which makes every single minute of hospital bed rest worth it.

I have a scheduled c-section for Monday, December 31st, and I can’t wait to meet this little guy!

It’s a good thing delivery is only 4 days away, cause my belly is ready to pop!

I can’t wait to get up and moving again.

I have so many home projects that I am dying to complete.

Lindsay Mens Craig’s 800 square-foot apartment featured in Style at Home has me inspired.

I love her mix of pattern, color, and styles.

All of my Christmas decor is coming down today, I am anxious to get everything cleaned up and ready for the arrival of baby boy Oakey.

Only 4 more days…I can’t believe it!
