big news!!!

i have some big news!!!!

we are going to have another baby!  we are so excited and just feel so very blessed!  we waited awhile to break the news because we had some complications in the beginning…but we have a great specialist now and think we have worked through those things.  to be completely honest i am very nervous with this one given the last circumstance, but we are being both hopeful and prayerful that everything will be ok.

so here is the first snap shot of our little gem…(it is slightly out dated, but it is the best we have for now.)

you may notice the wrinkles…this is reagan and ireland’s  copy of the baby photo.  the girls are so cute, ireland loves to kiss my tummy and reagan is convinced she has a baby in her tummy too!

please keep our little family in your thoughts, as we are just about in the clear!

well, i have had a very rough first few months…lots of morning sickness, lots of tiredness, and lots of stress, but i am hoping that will all be over soon!

i just got home from cha, which was awesome!  i love to meet up with old industry friends, meet new people, and be inspired by other artist that i so respect and love.

we released 3 new lines taking flight, sweet whimsy, and crazy for paisley.  here are some sample pages i made with our new stuff.

so the show was good…aside from the fact that i had to leave my two little babes for a few days…they seemed to grow so much while i was gone…

i actually got pretty nervous at the show because my morning sickness was totally gone, so i thought for sure something was wrong…but as soon as i came home it has been worse than ever!!! (which i have been known to say is totally comforting in very wierd way.)  next check up is in one week…

you know it is so wild how motherhood works…i can be throwing up, feeling green, exhausted beyond belief, and totally scared…but there is something so magical about being pregnant…it is pretty awesome to think about our family growing.  while i was at the show,  i told a dear and very old friend(whom i can always count on for a work focused discussion and the latest industry news)…that i was having another baby…he said, “another one!”  then i thought to myself…here it comes…bring on the criticism about wanting a big family and still hoping for a successful career, and how it is so not the modern way to live…i was ready to defend my self…but to my surprise he said with a humble smirk, and a twinkle in his eye, “so you have figured it out, do you?…that’s good.”   i smiled back…and said, “yes…i know exactly what really matters.”

it was so awesome to be at the consumer show…i got to meet so many cool people!  people have the best  feedback, and the sweetest things to say…you are all such a huge support to me on so many levels!

one cool woman in particular made this amazing card for me and wrote an oh so sweet message inside…she is so thoughtful!!!!

i love you annette!!!

ps…don’t forget LOST is on tonight!!! yippee!!!
