I AM OODLES AND OODLES FULL OF EXCITEMENT TODAY! I don’t even know how to contain myself or hold myself back from smiling, laughing, and completely bawling from excitement and happiness. Two of my closest and dearest friends have had wonderful children join our world in the past 32 hours. Congratulations to Chris, Carolynn and Vallen on their new son and brother Ledger who was born on Tuesday, December 16th. Not only was that very exciting news, but after going for lunch with one of my closest friends and cousin-by-marriage, Candice, yesterday I was a little concerned to keep track of how her and babe were doing. After not being able to get a hold of her last night or this morning, and hours of me convinced that she had gone into labour, her sister and I finally got in touch. Early this morning Reese Addison, who I consider one of my neices and I will love and spoil to death, was welcomed into this world. Why is it that babies have such an emotional effect on us? Probably because they are so sweet, innocent, and remind us how wonderful life is! I could barely hold back my tears of joy all day today as I continuously thought of both of my friends cuddling with their gorgeous new bundles! I am extremely excited to meet them both in the next couple of days, and will be sharing some of Reese’s newborn photos as well! As I keep my tears, joy, and excitement in control I will share with you a few of my favorites from Candices prenatal shoot. Congratulations Candice and Scott! P.S. Baby shopping is SO much fun – what a great way to end a day and spend lots of money!
