A Nautical Nursery

My twin sister, Courteney is pregnant with her first baby, a boy due in the beginning of December! I am so excited to be and Aunt and I can't wait for Ellie to have a little cousin to play with. Unfortunately, Courteney and her husband live all the way across the country so we do not get to see them that often and most of our communication is via the phone or gchat. Our main topic of discussion lately has obviously been the impending arrival of baby B! Courteney and I have always had very similar tastes in clothes and decor, so when she told me she wanted a nautical nursery I was not surprised! She picked the Regatta Collection from Pottery Barn Kids and it's just so New England and perfect for her!

A couple of weeks ago, Courteney flew out from Boston for the weekend to visit family and friends before the baby is born. My sister and two of our close girlfriends threw her a baby shower and we of course stuck with the nautical theme :-) We had a great time planning all the details and working on some special craft projects that she can potentially use in the nursery. The shower was a complete success and all of our DIY efforts really paid off!

AHOY! IT'S A BOY!
