And then there were three.
On Wednesday, December 3, 2014 at 12.23am we went from a family of two to a family of three. We were blessed with a smooth and not-so-terrible labor and delivery…and if you can believe it – after about five minutes of pushing, this guy showed up and we were immediately in love.
Markus is a sweet baby who loves eating and hates bath time. He likes it when I sing silly songs and loves laying on his dad’s chest. When he’s hungry he starts chewing on my face, which is probably my favorite thing ever. He seems to have night confused with day, which makes for a very tired mommy – but who can be mad at that face. Not me.
While I stare at these cheeks, I’ll still be blogging away with a ton of projects that I completed before Markus was born. I’m also working on lots of new content for the new year.
Thanks to all of you who’ve sent me sweet messages of congratulations and checked in on me throughout my pregnancy. If you are interested in the occasional baby pic, you can always find me on Instagram for some gratuitous baby cuteness.
Congratulations to the two of you and welcome Markus! So happy for all of you!
Congratulations and welcome to Markus!!
So adorable! Congratulations and all the best.
Congrats! He’s so beautiful!
Congratulations to you and you husband. Your sweet son Markus is so adorable, what a blessing.
Good heavens girl, you make gorgeous babies! He is so cute and that pucker of his makes me think he’ll be a heartbreaker later. So happy for you! As my youngest was 12 lbs and is now 6ft 5″ tall and 37 yes old, enjoy him while he’s little, they sure don’t stay that way.
What a beautiful baby! Not a surprise though. I’d love to munch on those cheeks. Oh my. May you have some rest and peace while loving him sooooo much.
Yay for you! Looks like a pretty precious Christmas present. Enjoy (it goes by fast, really it does) and may he give you the best Christmas present… by sleeping through the night sooner rather than later.
Hi Amber, longtime lurker here but this news definitely requires a check-in.

Oh yeah, that little face put an instant smile on my face. How cute! Those cheeks! And those lips! (How many people try for those lips when taking their “selfies” – he’s got it all naturally! ha ha) Congrats to Mom and Dad.
