Tomorrow I Find Out: Boy or Girl!

Hello everyone! Today is Labor Day in the US and though I live in Germany, I still observe American holidays so I've elected to take today off to begin organizing my home for some upcoming projects. And tomorrow is the BIG DAY... The big ultrasound! I can't wait to know if I'm having a boy or a girl but more importantly, to check in on the baby and make sure all is well. I have no idea about the gender, some moms instinctively know but I haven't been able to determine that at all yet. I wonder if any of you had a feeling and then you were right? I am 50/50 - and thrilled in either case. kokokoshop

Today it is cloudy in Hannover, but a happy kind of cloudy. And very cool outside, though we are promised a heat wave at the end of the week so I'm basking in the moody weather today with candles on and favorite French tunes playing in the background. I'm beginning to sort things in my studio and prepare my home for Fall. It's a ritual I enjoy each year, the big shift, and I love it very much. I'm actually ready for Fall now, are you? I crave all of that cool weather and crunchy leaves, comforting hot drinks and warm blankets and clothing. This year is a little different though, as I am planning a total redux at home since I've missed changing things up (haven't redecorated since 2010) and feel a huge need to make some changes. I never go this long before I alter rooms at home, but now with a baby on the way, I am more motivated that ever to simplify and organize so that I can enjoy my home more this winter when the little one arrives.

The only thing I cannot do now, that is really hard to hold myself back from doing, is to push my furniture around! Argh! This bit drives me crazy because I love moving furniture but it's not advisable when pregnant to move 300lb bookcases, is it?! So I guess I will be asking my husband and his body builder friend to come by as I play the role of bossy bear and point to stuff. Now that I think about it, that actually doesn't sound so bad. :)

Anyway, have a lovely day and I'll meet you again here tomorrow. And if you love the little cloudy handmade pillow, visit kokokoshop on Etsy, a shop I definitely want to order from soon. So cute!

Have a nice day!
