When I found out I was expecting my third child less than three months after giving birth to my second boy, I cried. For real. Not because I didn't want any more children, I did. But, although my pregnancies are healthy I'm miserably nauseous and the memory of the previous one was entirely too fresh.
Now, this sweet child brings me such joy. He's got my personality so we get along swell. And you know how we mom's are about out baby. Especially when that baby is a boy. Poor thing.
And, I think he bears a certain resemblance to someone famous in my world.

Are you on to me yet? I left my camera downloading cord thing at my sister's house last week. Hate me. Hi, Ima Dork. I've been making due without it but I cannot wait to show you the next installment of the tour, the most fantastic goodwill find EVER and I even have a small number of tassels and garlands to list. It's in the mail, thanks to Emily.

What a cutie! I can't wait to see your Goodwil find!
What a doll he is. Lucky mommy! But he is lucky, as well. :)
Met your husband this weekend at the Bumper Man convention. He is a hoot. My husband works with Caleb in Raleigh. We missed you. Maybe next year. Love your blog. When I met your husband I said, "Your the Nester's husband. Love her." I have done several mistreatments and have gotten a lot of compliments. About to do the plate thing, maybe with some stenciling. We will see. Keep up the good work.

Your son is adorable! I was thinking that he looks a lot like you. :)
I am very familiar with Dave. I am about the same age as he is and we worked at the same summer camp when we were (much) younger. He was as sweet and friendly then as he seems to be now. He is so talented...I love to watch his show.
Can't wait to see the rest of your home tour. God bless.
seriously? what were you doing having sex that soon after baby was even born?!
i would have cried too.
so precious!
OMG! Your son DOES look like my boyfriend David B! Isn't he such a natural on camera and working with people! I adore him!
What a sweet, sweet baby! I love little boy bedhead.
Can't wait to see the goodwill find!
What a little he♥rt breaker that cute little man is! And I love your window mistreatment you did at your sisters! I'm still drooling over the pictures.
I'm stuggling with the issue of what color to paint my dang TV hutch black/white I don't know. I just posted a poll on my blog about it. So far it's half and half. Talk about no help. Sigh... Can't I just hire you to come tell me what to do? :):):)
Can't wait to see your finds. I'm sure they are amazing.

He is so cute! I would have cried too if I had gotten pregnant just three months after having mine. I would have been freaking out, because I was still NOT adjusted at all to taking care of a newborn and everything that went along with it. So I can relate with you on that!
He's a total cutie pie!
Little boys are so sweet and oh how they love their mama's. I can't wait to see the Goodwill find!
Thanks for the advice on my screened in porch, I'm going to Home Goods today hopefully I will find a few things there.
Take care
Michelle
He's a doll! Don't you just love having boys? I sure do!

Ohhhh - can't wait. You know there's nothing I love to see more than an amazing Good Will find! Come soon, mailman, come soon!
Cute, cute, Cutie!!!!
Can't wait for the tour and your find!!
janie
He's adorable!
Your post made me think of 2 things...
1. Do any of the contestants (past/present) have blogs that we can check out?
2. Are you going to try to get on the show? You would do so good, that would be so exciting for all of us out in blogland ;)
PS: Thank goodness for USPS!!! :)
How cute!
I saw the newest mistreatment on your sister's blog. I can't find a "how to" for that style--I would love to know how to get this look in our home!
I come here close to every day and the boy is bringing me out of hiding to comment. He is quite the little cutie and the picture of him sleepy in the robe would make any mommy swoon. I think he looks alot like his mommy.
I also wanted to mention I took my first stab at making my own garland for our playroom. It doesn't look near as lovely as yours do, but not bad. I am saving my pennies to buy one from you. I must have an "original".
Isn't he adorable. I can wait on the pictures when you blog about baby's. :-)
Mine is going to PrK this year. WHAAAAAAAA
your little one is adorable! what a sweetie pie :) can't wait to hear about your goodwill find!
Oh my goodness, he TOTALLY looks like David from HGTV--wow!! Have you seen that commercial with David where he says "Home is where you order takeout..." Ha ha! It makes me laugh every time!
~ Sarah
He is a cutie-pie! Those baby boys are irresistable. Looks like you and sis had fun together playing house!
Awwww...he's just so precious!
He is a cutie!
That stinks about the cord. We are on the Dave Ramsey plan too so I won't even tell you to buy a new one :-)
Emily has a problem with her blog, girl. Tell her to do some work in photobucket.
I had a great GW trip this weekend... but instead of STUFF I got 5 dresses... of course, I dont WEAR dresses... but for $4.50 a piece I could probably paint in them, right?
I gave you an award. Come by and pick it up.
They DO look a like! They're cute.
spitting image and so darn cute!! My daughter is the spitting image of Ellen Paige - it's weird isn't it?
Oh Nester- As much as i love to see pictures of you house I love to see your family too! My baby is a boy too but just 2.5 as much as i would love it if he stayed in his bed all night I do love waking up with his feet wedged into my side to keep them warm. My older two grew up to fast! I am tresureing every baby moment I can, I am even misty about him wanting to go on the potty, no more diapers no more baby =(
Miss Nester......You should write about that pg testing day....
I can only imagine how the Pg testing went tat day. Did you tell your Hubby y to sit down before you broke that news? Or did your Dr break the news to you by having you sit down. My girls are 19 months apart and I thought that they were close. LOL
He is such a cutie.
Whoa! That is a resemblence! What a cutie.

I think you could sell your creative help to people like me. I think you should do a conference and we could all come and make projects.
I vote for Spring 2009 in somewhere relaxing.
I, too, have a certain love affair with my baby boy. He is my heart. Period.
Yours is adorable!!!! And as much as I love to look at pictures of other Mom's scrumptious little boys, I will be glad when you have your camera back!
I found your site through Angie's and have read through every entry. We have a new home...thus, a blank canvas and while I consider myself somewhat creative....HA...your blog is inspirational. I do not want to merely decorate our home, I want it to SING! And sing on a budget! Thanks for your blog. I am truly addicted!
He is so cute !! I know what you mean about babies -- mine is 24 - and still makes me smile --always giving me hugs when we see each other -- - p.s. don't
know how i found your site -- but love it !!been visiting often - love your curtain ideas - TOO Lovely -- scored some great finds at Goodwill today myself-- two cloches - amazing -- Kathy Ga
The third ones are always charmers. :)
He is a doll. Yes, I see the resemblance. I also can relate to the nauseated pregnancy! :( Bleh. Aren't they so worth it!! :) Have a blessed day.
That's how I felt with my third boy too, even though we planned it. I have had fairly easy pregnancies but three young boys is a challenge for me every day! You look like you do a great job with yours and I hope to follow in your footsteps. I'll be checking back to see more about your house and the Goodwill find.
Your little one is adorable! I've throughly enjoyed learning how to fix up our house on little money. You've inspired many an upgrade around here :) Thanks for sharing all of your ideas!
He is too precious....things have a way of working out, don't they? My girls are seventeen months apart. I have never been so tired for so long in my life! Baby starts kindergarten this fall, it will be hard for me, but I guess it's time. I love your blog and can't wait to see your next post.
Bless you and yours,
Jen
He is precious! I definitely see the resemblance. (have no clue if I spelled that right) Looking forward to your new posts.
Nester-- Is something wrong with your sister's blog? I'm having trouble opening her page and am wondering if it's my computer or her server. Hoped you could help. H
I can open Emily's blog, but it's all crazy.
Your ds is adorable. A-dor-able.
BTW, why aren't YOU on Design Star? I'm watching it right now (bless you TiVo). You should try out for next season!
Oh I just absolutely love your son's bed head. Bed head on children are so cute, on us- not so much.
You and your husband sure must like each other a lot. At 3 months I'm usually already aggrivated with him for pretending to sleep when the baby cries at night.
He is so adorable!! You still look really young and energetic for having 3 kids.
Another Award. come over to get it.
Your baby is adorable! I have a pic/post of my "baby" on my blog as well. Love all of 'em, but something special about the youngest....
That boy is sure cute!!
Can't wait to see more of the crib...
Elise
Hi! Recently found your blog, and love it! My kids are 15 mo. apart, also not planned. I wouldn't have changed it for anything, though--they are best friends.
I'm adding a link on my blog to yours, if that's ok!
Blessings, Stacey
I know how you feel about boys. I love my little man, and am pretty apprehensive about meeting my daughter in 4 weeks! Your little one is beautiful.
Wow there really is a resemblance. He is a cutie, watch at when he gets older although I bet girls are already gugging him. I can't wait to see your goodwill finds.
Aw, how precious!
xoxo
Precious bed head baby boy.
You might wanna invest a shotgun to wear off thoe girls in a few years! ;) He is such a cutie!!
Love the bed head. My 2 years old has it every single morning and stays that way til he goes to bed. I do try to fix it, no such luck!
I know this lady who is only 10 months older than her brother. It's fairly common than you think!
Oh he is going to be a heartbreaker, watch out mom! What a cutie.
Now, that young boy is cuter than any tassel! I have a few of them at home myself. Cute boys, that is. I haven't made the tassel plunge yet.
I'm sick during my pregnancies also. All NINE MONTHS! It's tough. Cute kid! He's got great eyes and a sweet smile. :o)
Wow, he does look like David! He's adorable!
What a cutie patootie! I love little boy bed head too!
My little guy is so loveable first thing in the morning. I don't know what it is about those kissable cheeks after a good night's sleep, I can't quit lovin' on him!
hi there! will you please tell your sister that I do indeed have a mac and I haven't been able to read her blog for two days. Crazy background stuff going on. I read just enough in my preview on yahoo to know that she was wanting to know. Thanks! Kelly
that kid does show some resemblance!!
Your boys are all so cute. I would cry too if I found out I was pregnant with a three-month-old and a toddler too. For me, #3 has thrown everything in a lurch and I don't know how anybody still has their sanity with more than that, or can do more than just the basic everyday necessities (are showers every day a nessecity?). That said, I think Jennifer P. is Superwoman.
I can't wait to see all your new stuff, either, but I suppose you DO still have a family to take care of...
I can't believe how much he looks like David B.
Hello from Alaska. I found you surfing through some blogs. Your ideas are wonderful! I'm going to go find some plates and hang them on the wall!!
Your son is lovely! And i although i have never seen the Star before, i do think your son looks like him! I read your post with intrest. I too have had THAT cry, 3 times! I had 4 babies in 3 1/2 years (no twins), and chronic morning sickness (EVERY SINGLE DAY of my pregnancys!). And you know what? I would not change a thing now!!!
Great looking guy you have there & he does bear a resemblance to someone famous!
I have been a fan for a while & love the swags & tassels! Checkout my giveaway, DebraK
Miss you, Nester! Waiting impatiently for next post. Scared of my next mistreatment. I might try to poof.
Wow...did no one else think what I did, that you were going to tell us you were pregnant?
Maybe I have pregnancy on the brain--I just tested positive yesterday (this will be dc#6--the 3 girls are pulling for another brother, the boys (twins) aren't pulling for anything, since they are only a year old...lol).
Your son IS a cutie (of course, he comes from good stock, too!)
Rachel
I just love sleepy eyes and hair! My momma's heart melts when my children wake up. :o) No matter how old they are, they are still my babies!
Can not wait to see your Goodwill bargain! I love thrift store treasures!
~Tricia Anne
Did I miss the new tassels? I've kept an etsy browser window up FOREVER :-) waiting for the next batch!! I've got to nab one!
BTW: You've TOTALLY inspired me to tackle some new mistreatments. You would CRINGE at what I've got now. I love the no-sew ideas!!
What a cute boy. Oh, let me rephrase that. What a cute little boy. Just darling.
He's adorable and I can imagine the tears of dread over being pg so soon. Being pg isn't always fun, but gotta love what being so brings! BTW, he does look quite a bit like David. He's gonna be a cutie when he grows up.
Love your blog!
You mean THAT guy is NOT the father? They are identical. Really.
Oh, all your boys are knock-dead gorgeous (if that's okay to say about boys! just don't tell them I said that!)
