May is "Boy Month"

Each month, we're taking turns referring to the baby as a boy or a girl. May is "boy" month, so we're trying out all the top names when we talk about the baby. We had lots of time on the beach to hash out names. Here are our top boy names:
-Andrew
-Landon (this one is becoming a front runner)
-Christian
-Maximus (secretly, I'm glad to say this one is losing ground)
-Jason
-James/Jaime
-Jake
-Michael

A Neutral Nursery - not easy!!

Wow, looks the poll is leaning towards 'a girl!' Very interesting, especially since I am getting a lot of strangers coming up to me saying, "you're having a boy right?" This is going to be quite a surprise, because Albie and I have NO gut instincts! Over the weekend, we changed direction with the nursery. We decided to go with light colored furniture b/c it's really neutral and so much of our furniture is espresso stained, so we didn't want to over do it. Here is (I think) our final decision on the nursery. The bedding is sorta funky, but I think the bright colors will be fun!

Amanda & Frank Tie the Knot - in Mexico

Congratulations Team McKeon! I can't believe my baby sister is all grown up and married! She looked absolutely gorgeous and Frank looked handsome in his military 'dress blues'. She rode in on a horse drawn carriage and everything was fairy-tale perfect! Madeline (flower girl) didn't quite make it down the aisle b/c she was waiting in the back for the "horsey" to come back and was a little less interested in the wedding procession!

'Babymoon' in Mexico

We had such a nice family trip to Mexico for Amanda & Frank's wedding. Albie and I considered it our "babymoon" and tried to enjoy the last time we would be traveling carefree (i.e. sans kid/diapers/stroller/toys, etc.)! We took a day trip to a sight-seeing place called Xel-Ha and spent a wonderful day snorkeling and doing a nature hike. The baby bump got lots of attention in the bright pink swim suit that my mom bought me for mother's day. Albie also got me a new outfit to celebrate my first mother's day!

Planning for the Nursery

We've finally gotten serious about shopping for the nursery. The first two pics are of the two bedding sets that I think I've narrowed it down to. The last two are of furniture styles and colors. What do you think? I think we're going to get the coffee colored furniture, but the white may be cute too. Decisions, decisions!
