I still can't believe you are already ONE month old. This first month has flown by, and has been quite the adjustment having two kids. The nights and days can be long and exhausting, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. You make us soooooo happy! Blessed to have a happy, healthy, and beautiful baby boy. Asher boy, WE LOVE YOU!

Baby Herzog's Nursery!

Nursery check! There is something so special about creating a space for a teeny tiny human. We finished our little man's room a few weeks ago, which was a long time coming. We painted his room when we first moved in, and then slowly added the crib, glider, and decor. Can't believe we will be a family of four in 17 days or less. WE ARE READY FOR YOU BABY! 

Love you to the moon and back!
