There is so much I could write about this beautiful little family and their journey to parenthood. This mama through her pregnancy underwent an amazing surgery during pregnancy, long term bed rest, and ultimately a healthy spontaneous birth at TERM of these two little beauties. Although I am the mama of 5 children, I can only imagine the commitment, determination, and faith it has taken them to ultimately bring these girls home healthy. My life has definitely been blessed by knowing them.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am truly a girly girl at heart. That is why I am so excited to show off these lovely girly girl birth announcements! They are either 5 x 7 or 5 x 5 (depending on the template) double sided, press-printed card stock birth announcements that come with matching envelopes. Colors can be changed to coordinate with your nursery color scheme.

Stay tuned for more birth announcements to be introduced in the Le Boutique section of my website. For now, feast your eyes on this eye candy:

To look this good.

I am seriously speechless…I have no words. This baby is going to be a stunner, that is for sure :) I cannot wait to put her in all the lovely eye candy lying around this home!

Baby delicious! There is nothing in the world like a brand new baby. This is adorable baby Ari whom I had the pleasure of spending the afternoon photographing. Despite challenging his mama during labor, he is a seriously mellow little dude.

Thanks for letting me hang with you guys yesterday afternoon! And thanks for the rockin’ cupcake! We are ordering that recipe book today. Not so sure those cupcakes are on the Barry’s Bootcamp Diet, though…..shhhhh……

Well, this morning I am feeling very un-creative verbally. I think it is due to the lack of caffeine and perhaps I should go brew myself up another cappuccino from our most awesome (and not very expensive) cappuccino maker I scored at Starbucks a year ago. Although I am not Starbucks hugest fan and we have tons of local coffee houses near to us, I couldn’t pass up a 50% off deal on a cappuccino machine! I probably have saved enough money at this point to feed a small nation….that is how much I need my cappuccino :)

Anyhow, back to my regularly scheduled program of sneak peeks. Be prepared for another one later on today! There may even be a cute baby involved…

Isn’t this mama’s belly super cute?! These twin girls are so ready to have a sibling to cuddle up with. And they were so thrilled to be photographed. They were my dream girls as far as models go! I cannot wait to do their newborn shoot. Looking at how beautiful these girls are, I know for sure that baby is going to be a cutie!

Some photos of Rowan. These don’t show the full magnitude of his curls, but you get the idea. We are definitely not ready to cut his hair. Ok, *I* am definitely not ready to cut his hair :)

Rowan in pajamas and his sister’s boots. He is more interested in playing outside than actually getting dressed.

Rowan at the local coffee shop, Ancora. Fortunately we are within walking distance! And if the weather would cooperate, we might actually WALK sometimes…
