After about three months of being on “maternity leave” I’m ready to get my creative juices flowing again! Since becoming a mother I have been inspired by beautiful babies and thought I would tap into that by creating Birth Announcements for the shop as my first project.
But First! I’m pleased to introduce Sebastian Michael Richard – my pride and joy! He blessed us with his presence on April 13th and life hasn’t been the same since! He was three days overdue {which felt like an eternity – I thought he’d never be here} but when it started labor came hard and fast and after just six hours he was in our arms.
My husband was so sweet and supportive during the entire process and it was really special to watch him become a Daddy. My mom was also in the room to help with all the stuff that made Daddy a little light headed ha-ha. Although it was late he was greeted by almost all his grandparents, aunts and uncles – he’s the first grandchild/nephew {on both sides} so everyone was REALLY excited for his arrival.
We have been taking time to get adjusted to a new life and day to day routine but I feel like I’m ready to get back into creating fun things for everyone! After all I do have a first birthday party to plan {yea I know – its 9 months away – but I can’t help myself – right now the theme is ceiling fans!}
In the next few weeks I’ll be adding to a new section in the shop – Birth Announcements. I’m also working on party add ons and will be showcasing Cupcake Toppers first. 🙂 So stay tuned! Until then here are a few more pictures of my new little guy – because what new mom doesn’t love to brag!
