It's been far too long since I've posted- a little over four months to be exact.  As it turns out, the notion that being home pregnant, essentially on bed rest, would make for a perfect blogging atmosphere proved entirely incorrect. Instead, the inability to do anything other than rest leaves one {or at least this one} wholly uninspired and creatively tapped out. 

Since this hiatus, however, the most beautiful thing has happened- our little girl has arrived. On June 12, at 3:06 in the morning, my husband and I welcomed Madeline Mae into the world. It's true what they say- that your world becomes entirely different, and yet you can hardly remember a time before she was here. To say she is perfection is an understatement; to say we love her doesn't do our feelings justice.  It's exhausting, and strange, and different, and yet that one perfect, tiny smile makes all the sleepless nights and spit-up stained shirts worth it.
