A Christmas Announcement

Happy Holidays!

Love,
Kate, Alex and Baby M

To say that I’ve been neglecting Fashionably Kate & Co., what I consider to be my baby, would be an understatement. I haven’t posted since mid-October and today is Christmas! But that is because I’ve been a little busy with a very different baby that has become quite the little dictator.

That’s right, we have an announcement to make. Come next June our little family will be welcoming a tiny new member! We are over the moon and I cannot wait to share all about how we found out, how I’ve been feeling, and how we announced it to our closest family and friends.

It has been very special to be able to share this news while making our annual holiday visits. There has been lots of hugs and kisses and some happy tears. And as this will be the first grandchild for both sides, I have a feeling that there will be a few presents under the tree for the future Baby M this year. He or she is already so blessed!

For those near and dear to us that don’t live so near, we announced our happy news in our yearly holiday card. Our great friend, Jessie Wyman of Jessie Wyman Photography captured these beautiful photos of us back in November, a little over a month after we found out.

Not only did she make me look really good (I have yet to experience that real pregnancy glow, but more on that later), she also captured the joy we have been feeling since the moment we saw that little plus sign appear!

As I said, I can’t wait to share the excitement of the past few months, including more details on this gorgeous, vintage travel-inspired shoot. But for now I will wish everyone Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy (late) Hannukah, Happy Festivus, etc. etc. etc.! May you receive everything on your Christmas wish list … I know I did!

[…] My anxiety always rears its ugly head during milestones in my life and a two weeks ago it was Arielle’s birthday. Leading up to that special day it made sense that I was feeling less than perfect. But when that continued I wondered what else could be affecting me. And no, I am not announcing another pregnancy.
