I’ve been really bad at writing posts in the last few weeks. I’m sorry, but I have an excuse!!! I promise!!
I’ve been torn, knowing when to announce this to the whole world through internet, but I’m going to say it now,……
I’M PREGNANT!!!
13 weeks today. It’s unbelievable how quickly babies grow…I can’t believe how defined everything is! I think my baby has my nose…so precious.
I really can’t believe it’s true. It’s scary and exciting at the same time. Mostly exciting though. I’m still not sure how much I’ll write about my little baby on this site, but I know I won’t be able to resist mentioning it every once and a while. It’s just too exciting NOT to mention!
Now, I’ve been bad at posting lately and I’d like to pull the “pregnancy card” and blame it on being tired and having no energy, whatsoever, but I really can’t blame it on that. Of course being pregnant has contributed to my lack of posting (I have been very unmotivated in the last few weeks), but really, things have just been BUSY! Between back-to-back visitors all summer long, traveling, and work,… I’ve been left with no energy for anything else. Sweet J has been doing so much to help. I have a wonderful husband.
One of the last trips we took was up to Oakland for J’s cousins baby shower (whose baby was born today, I might add!!). I thought it’d be fitting to post some of the photos I took of the stationary I made for them, which matched the invitations I designed for their shower.
Pink, pink, pink! Can you tell they were expecting a girl?!
I hand drew the design. Paul and Dayana live in the San Francisco area, so I thought it was fitting to include the bridge and cityscape behind them; also their cute little dog,…which is their “other” baby.
They wanted something that wasn’t as “baby-ish”, so I thought this was a fun way of doing pink and cutsie, but more city-chic.
The cards, with a stack of metallic-y pink envelopes, completed the package. Baby shower thank you cards…complete!
Now I need to get working on designing my babies thank you cards!

I know I said it on Facebook, but congratulations!! Definitely understandable that you haven’t been posting as much lately, because I know from friends that have had kids that the first trimester especially is exhausting! And I wouldn’t worry too much about posting about the baby online. This is more of a craft blog, and a lot of the craft blogs I read will mention their kids, but more often than not in the context of what crafty thing they did that day, or something made for them, or if they just did something too cute to resist posting. (And a lot of times they’ll just use either a fun nickname, or something like DD for “dear daughter” or DS for… well, you get the picture. So can keep some privacy there, if you choose to post about it.)
Wow, that was long-winded, so I’ll just say congratulations again and shut up.
