Last week I shared a super sweet love story with you…maybe I am just partial to it….I don’t know…..but thank you all for all the sweet kind words.
Some of you may or may know that I am pregnant….we will be having another little one to help take over our lives….soon.
Maybe I am the only one with these feelings….
…but it’s so hard for me to image loving another baby like I do Miss A…. am I so bad for saying that?
I had longed for so long to have a baby….years…When I finally got pregnant the first time, it didn’t seem real, but at the same time it seemed right.
There have been so many ups and downs to being a first time mom…. when we thought we were getting into a routine she would decide she didn’t need three naps a day or that she finally wants to go pee pee in the potty. But we got through them.
Having to go through all of those ups and downs again…..sort of frightens me… not going to lie.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that my family feels complete is just feels normal. Having another baby will be a shake up for sure…..I am not ready.
Plus…. you guys…. the stress of picking out a name is really starting to wear on me…I have been having dreams about picking out names….. this is serious.
Got any suggestions for me? I am looking for something unique, but not weird… and something that is easy to say and spell… I am totally not picky or anything….
I am sure we will love this new one to pieces…. and since the month of love is almost here I thought I would share these easy hearts with you guys!
SUPPLIES:
-ribbon/rope/pom poms….ect
-hot glue gun
-scissors
-20 gage wire
-needle nose pliers
TUTORIAL:
Start by cutting the wire to the desired length. The bigger heart is 36” long and the smaller heart is 24″ long, for your reference.
Fold the wire in half, making a point. This will be the bottom of the heart.
After you have the wire folded in half, bend the other two ends of the wire into a heart shape, adjusting the curve of the heart until both sides are even. It takes a little bit of playing around to get it just right.
Once the heart looks good use the pliers, to make loops in the wire, so you can attach the two ends together.
Now to embellish…..
Usine ribbon, rope, lace, or any other type of decorate trim to make a custom heart.
Wrap the ribbon around the wire, securing it into place using hot glue. Wrapt it around once or twice or fill the whole heart up. Either way it will look fabulous. I think that these would look darling hung up on a wall with 3-5 in a group.
Even though I am so nervous to bring home baby #2, I know that she we will be our latest love story….with a few ups and downs.

So simple and cute!
Thanks Angie! I am finding that simple is better for me 🙂
Love these hearts! Very cute. And I think your feelings are normal. I remember Bethany saying the same thing. i can say with all certainty that you will love this sweet spirit just as much as little Miss A! Also some cute names off the top of my head are Ainsley, Harper and Rainey. Good luck!
Caitlin
Thanks Caitlin. I am sure most moms have similar feelings. I love those names, definitely adding them to my list. Thanks! xox
Aww hang in there, mama! I only have one too, and I can’t even imagine loving another little one. But so many friends have told me that you don’t love your first any less; your heart just grows even more. 🙂 My husband and I have always said if we had another girl, her name would be Harper and if we had a boy it would be Beckham (family name…not after the soccer player married to Posh Spice. Ha!) Our daughter’s name is Olivia Annalee (Livie for short) and we love it. 🙂
Thanks Lauren! I know that it will all just be love once she gets here, the thought of loving another is just weird. I love the name Harper, we have a friend with that name and Beckham is a strong name too. I love your little girls name, especially her nickname. Thanks for grabbing my link for today…I suck 🙂
My niece has a baby recently and named her Nikita Jade. I wasn’t sure at first, but it’s growing on me! You’ll figure it out, don’t stress!
I had a niece born recently that I was unsure of the name too. I guess the names sort of do start to grow on you because I really love her name now. I still have not found a name that we both love, I really like Nikita though. Thanks!
These hearts are so cute and congratulations on your baby!
Thanks Shari! I love a quick craft to give a little festive look to my home for Valentines Day.
Love these adorable hearts! I think your feelings are quite normal. I remember just when we thought having baby #2 wasn’t in the cards, I got pregnant. I remember feeling the same things you described here. Our life had just gotten into a new rhythm and did I want that shaken up again. Well, those kids are now 26 and 22 and I feel so blessed to have those beautiful souls in my life. Now we have a new grandbaby to love and his name is Westin (thought I’d drop that name in there for you to ponder). You will find your new normal!
Marie thanks for your comment. I am glad to hear that I am not the only one with these feelings. I am always up for a challenge or a change, both of which are in my near future. haha. It is still so weird to think that I could love two as much as I love one. I know that it will be love at first sight through. Congrats on the new grand baby, I hear they are the best. Love the name too!!
Congratulations! I’m sure you’re all going to be so happy when the little one arrives. I just discovered your blog via the Home Work link up!

Hey Nancy, thanks for stopping by! I know that we will be so in love once she gets here. It is so weird to think about another one though… hahah
Very cute hearts craft! Don’t worry about a thing, you will be amazed by your ability to love your children fiercely and equally. Your heart has a lot more room than you know! 🙂 Thanks for linking up to Merry Monday!
Thank Megan! I know that I will love this girl just as much as my first. It is still such a weird thing to think about… Looking forward to getting her here safe. Thanks for stopping by!
I sooooo know how you feel. I felt the same way before Emanuelle arrived… However you’ll see that your love will spread to your new one so easily…. just like it’s suppose to. 🙂
Thanks for the reassurance Christine! These feelings are all so weird. It is nice to see that other moms have had similar thoughts. I know that it will all be good. Thanks for stopping by!
Yay for new babies coming into our lives. I think its normal to feel a little nervous. I think the 2nd one is a much easier transition than the first one, even if you are outnumbered. 🙂 Love the crafts too. Good luck with the baby naming!
Thanks for the well wished Michelle! I think I am coming to terms with the whole thing… I am glad to hear that you think 2 is an easier transition. I am just wondering when I will be able to sleep, with the first on I could sleep when she slept. Now with an active 3 year old, getting sleep will be a challenge. I am sure we will figure it out one way or another! haha Have a great weekend!
What a cute & easy idea! These would be so cute for nursery decorations!
These would love great in the nursery! Thanks for stopping by!
This is so simple, but seriously so adorable!
Such a CUTE idea – love it!! Pinned. 😉
These are so sweet! Love them!
