HANG IN THERE

Hey guys, I realized I haven't posted lately and I'd like to let you all know what's going on in my life.  First, I go back to working full time in about a week, so I have been going crazy around our apartment trying to get it spotless so I have one less thing to worry about- I'm close.  Really close.  Second, I have a small baby and spend most of my days alone with no help, so cleaning + baby = no free time to blog.  It's okay though, because I am mainly focused on spending as much possible time with her before I leave for the mapple store.

I've also been sketching up a storm, trying to get some kind of stationery sets put together so I have SOMETHING to call a 'portfolio' of sorts.  I've been talking about opening an Etsy shop for a while now, but I really want to just do it.  But, my curse?  I don't want to start ANYTHING without it looking/being absolutely perfect.  Plus, I want to be super ambitious and open a collaborative shop too, with the wonderfully talented Abby Mallet, Katherine Ross, ( and maybe Ashley T too?! ),  so I really have my work cut out for me ;)  

I promise I will be back to littering your computer screens with pictures of adorable baby faces soon enough, and will try to get more photos up of my super hot husband.  I have to be sneaky around him.  Why is it that ALL men hate getting their photo taken?  I only know a few guys that don't mind.  Crazy. Anyway.  Chamoy guy showed up today so I am gonna eat up my spicee mango icee and I'll catch you all in a few days. :)

the birthing of alba mae

From the beginning, this pregnancy seemed so much the same, yet so distinctly different all at once. I didn't get sick, I wasn't too turned away by my favorite foods, I had occasional heartburn here and there and overall, was able to relax and enjoy the experience.  What was strange was how differently I was carrying - having been told more times than I could count that I had looked as if I had "swallowed a basketball".  I think I was persuaded a few times in my head that maybe this was  different, maybe it really was a baby boy.  Yet still, in my heart I had an overwhelming intuition I would be holding another little girl in my arms, someone so very similar to her sister yet so distinctly different all at once. My little may flower. Saturday night, the air was warm and sticky.  Sofia, Erick and I read stories by a big window fan in her room trying to distract ourselves from the heat in our upstairs apartment. ...
