Baby :: Early Bird

You may have noticed that I have been away for a few days. Well, I have a good reason for that...
photo Ivanbaby_zps43c71c19.png
Some little baby decided that he just couldn't wait to join the party and showed up a bit early. We are pretty busy over here but I really wanted to stop in, say hello and introduce everyone to our new addition. We are super in love with him and I can't wait to share his birth story because it was fantastic!

For now though here we are doing what we have been doing for the past few days.

PS. Thank you so much to everyone who congratulated us via Instagram & Twitter. You guys are all so sweet.

Double PS. This short post took me forever to write because my brain is functioning at half capacity due to intense baby love.

    And parent advice... nap when the baby naps! There will come a time when the baby grows up and refuses to take naps and you will function on very, very little sleep.. so get the sleep now while you can! :)

    Also, take lots of pictures! They grow up in the blink of an eye!
