Wedding favors and ME

Wedding season is around the corner.  We'll be attending 4 weddings this year.  That is definitely a record for us.  Couldn't be more excited for everyone.  This is also a busy time of the year for me because brides are starting to get all their favors ordered for receptions and bridal showers.  My custom stamped linen drawstring pouches are a popular seller.  They're fully customizable and just so sweet and fun!

I can't believe it took me this long to post, but here's a few photos of me at 39 weeks pregnant.  If I remember correctly, this was one of our last outings before having the baby.  It's hard to believe I was that big!

Here I am at the hospital getting ready to be induced and eventually end up having a cesarean.  My doctor said I was all baby.  I felt so big, but I was so insanely excited for little Gavin to arrive.  I feel like tearing up just thinking about it. 

The hospital was amazing.  The rooms were perfect.  The staff was awesome.  Thank you Legacy!!

very happy mama to be

Here's daddy with Gavin at 1 day old.

Here we are on New Year's Eve.  First New Years in a while that we didn't go out.  I think we had about 10 seconds of sleep that week.  I was very happy to stay home with my family. 

no sleep, no make up, possibly no shower, and still in my robe but happy as can be

Here's my love at 6 weeks.  He says "don't touch my toys!"

And here's me almost 7 weeks post pregnancy.  Laundry, baby toys and junk in the background due to lack of space and time.  No make up just out of the shower due to lack of time.  What a mess!  But I love my baybeh!  And I love the fact that I'm only 2 lbs away from my pre-pregnancy weight.  Yahoo!

Motherhood is so fun and exciting.  Everyday is a new special day with Gavin.  We just love him with all our hearts.  He's growing so fast.  Today he's 9lb15oz.  Our big boy!  I ended up having a cesarean because he was just a little too big for me to birth naturally.  He started lifting his head all by himself on day 1 and now he's starting to coo and smile.  It's just so precious.  He makes the cutest facial expressions and makes me smile all the time.  About half the people say he looks like me and the other half say my hubby.  I think he's a perfect mix of both.  LOVE HIM!!

Pearls and Green Tea and BABY!!!

So much has been going on these past few weeks.  I need to get some rest so I'll make this brief.

Okay, now baby talk...

I'm checking into the hospital Wednesday night and getting induced on Thursday.  Hopefully, baby cooperates and arrives later that day.  We're so excited to meet him and be his mommy and daddy!!!  We'll be there until Saturday or so.  I'm really looking forward to sharing the first photos with all of you.  Stay tuned. 

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, Happy New Year!!!

Good Peoples: One of my recent clients Chalice ordered several custom linen drawstring pouches from me and requested to have a different name stamped onto each pouch.  I had no idea what she was using them for, but I was happy to fulfill her request.  She just told me that they are being sent to Uganda and being filled with Christmas goodies for these amazing girls.  Katie Davis (pictured below) has a heart of gold and these are her 14 daughters.  I'm am just so incredibly happy that I was a part of all this.  There are still good people in the world.
