Charlotte.  4 Months Big.

SERIOUSLY….

Charlotte Camille Blyth.  I just adore her name.  And her beautiful nursery.

Twinkle, twinkle, little Charlotte.

How did you find out you were expecting?
We’d been trying for almost 10 months and I suspected I was pregnant. I took 3 tests. The first test was inconclusive which added to the excitement. Luckily I had more tests handy and the second was positive! I took one more just to be sure. 🙂

Did you find out your baby’s gender?
We chose to be surprised with the sex. Most people thought we were having a boy by the way I carried. I really never had a hunch one way or the other.

Is there a nursery or shower theme you’d like to share?

Our nursery came together with a little inspiration from Pinterest. We received an old schoolhouse chalkboard from Charlotte’s grandpa and it’s one of my favorite things in her room. I painted Twinkle Twinkle Little Star on a large canvas that hangs over her changing table. She also has a 4 ft giraffe behind her crib.

Tell us about that first moment when you saw your baby
I had an emergency Cesarian because Charlotte was breech. My husband took a picture of her and that was my first view of her sweet face.

Is there a story behind your baby’s name?
Since we didn’t know the sex we never committed to a name. Charlotte was a name we both liked from the start and we gave it to her about 5 mins. after she was born. Camille is after Blaine’s loving, Italian grandma. He proposed to me at her Arizona home so we wanted to incorporate her name.

Give us the scoop. What has surprised you the most about parenthood?
I think the most surprising thing for me has been the emotional roller coaster. One minute I think I’ll never sleep again and feel so desperate and the next minute I’m on cloud 9 because she giggled. It’s an incredible adventure to say the least.

How did you find Crystal Jo?
My good friend and boss:), Heidi Bates introduced me to Crystal Jo. Heidi has 2 gorgeous kiddos and I love the photos Crystal takes of them. Crystal Jo is very warm and personable. My experience with her was delightful!
