My mom asked me this weekend how I liked being a mom. To be honest, I’m not so sure about the whole mom thing. First off it’s pretty overwhelming, sacrificing, scary, and let’s not forget exhausting. Then I thought about all the grief I gave my mom as I got older and knew I was probably in for some of my own grief. Was it all really worth it? I explained this to her as I was holding Jack. But Jack… I love Jack. I like being Jack’s mom; how his crying stops when I hold him, how he smiles at me like he knows me, how my favorite time of day is in the morning when we cuddle together, and how I really would do anything for this little boy. Being Jack’s mom is pretty great.
I know I said I would be sharing a preview of the house – it’s coming tomorrow I promise!!

Having an iPhone is somewhat detrimental to my Canon. My poor SLR only sees the light of day when I do Fashion Friday these days. Never thought I would have to challenge myself to take more photos with my camera! Maybe Jack and I will go have a little photoshoot today :)
These morning smiles make those sleepless nights worth it. Keep that grin coming Jack!
Sorry it took me so long to get these posted! It’s been on my to-do list.
As you may remember, I designed my baby shower invitations around a woodland theme. My shower also took on a woodland theme and most everything you see was imagined by my sister Hannah and put together by a combination of her, my mom, my aunt, my cousin, and yes me too! I can’t help but get involved when something creative is happening :). I did all the stationary and paper goods. But my sister was the creative force behind everything and the rest of my family did a awesome job of executing her vision. There are so many fun details! My uncle cooked all the delicious food and I will never forget all those different kinds of cheese! Yummm It was definitely a happy day and I got oodles of gifts for Jack (and myself). I’m so happy I got all these pictures to remember the shower. We had Rachel of Rachel Eagle Photography come out and shoot for the day. You know me and photos… I can never have enough :).
I think I am the last person on earth to get an iPhone but I finally did, yay! I’ve been taking pics nonstop ever since :) Here’s some I thought I’d share! Also I’m on instagram now so go follow me! @kellylouisehicks Although I’ll warn you – you will see a lot of pics of baby cheeks!
