Meet Sebastian!

Hey everybody! First let me start by saying hope everyone had a fantastic Easter. Here is little Sebastian celebrating Easter. 
 This time it's going to be all about Sebastian. I have done quite a few layouts of this little guy because in theory I plan to stay caught up on his scrapbook. It's such a cute though lol. 
Sebastian was born March 3rd at 37 weeks 4 days. I had to be induced due to extremely high blood pressure. He was born weighing 6 pounds 5 ounces and was 19.5 inches long. Overall he is a great baby and doesn't fuss much at all. Even sleeps through the night already. At just 3.5 weeks old he already rolls from his tummy to his back and according to the peditrician has amazing muscle control especially for being born early. The puppies overall have accepted him and we haven't had any problems with them at all. In fact just today I caught the three of them snuggling. 
Here are a few layouts I have made for Sebastian's scrapbook. Both layouts are using Scraptastic's March Sweet Child O'Mine Kit. I was so excited when I saw that this month's kit was a baby theme. And it was even more perfect when I saw it in person. I have already ordered more of it that's how much I love it. 
This is one of my favorite photos and also one of our first photos as a family. I attempted to stamp his hands to go along with his feet but it proved impossible by myself and I didn't feel like waiting for Michael to do it. 
Here is one more layout. 
These pictures here document the first time I got to hold Sebastian. There just aren't any words to describe the pure happiness and joy of seeing and holding Sebastian for the first time. All the pain and scariness of the previous hours had just disappeared and was replaced with pure happiness the first time he was placed into my arms. 
So that's it for now. I still have other layouts but I shall save those for another day. 
Until next time!

Surprise! A Baby and a Layout!

I'm back everyone! And this time for good. When I last left you guys I had just announced that we were expecting a little guy. And here is little Sebastian! 
As you can see his sisters Jasmine and Belle love him already. 
He was born 3 weeks early on March 3rd at 6 pounds 5 ounces. It was a thrilling tale that I shall save for another day. Since we have been home though I have managed to get some layouts done. One being for DCWV stack-a-holic challenge. Here is the sketch for this month. 

And here is my take on the sketch 
I had a difficult time with this one. Not with the sketch but with deciding what papers to use. I felt I couldn't use baby paper because a baby wasn't in the pictures and I felt it just wouldn't look right. But I needed papers that would go with the other layouts that will eventually make up and entire album for Sebastian. As soon as I saw DCWV Marquee, I knew this was what I was looking for. The colors really went well with the pictures I feel and captured the calmness of the moment. 
As I said before I have quite a few layouts done and I promise I shall be back to share then and my thrilling tale. But to tie you over, here is our first family photo. 
Until next time!
