Tis the Season for Shutterfly 8i8

Last year I didn't do Christmas cards because I felt like it would portray the illusion that we were happy and "over" Mackenzie's death. This year with a new bundle of joy in our lives I feel like we can celebrate both our babies in a beautiful Christmas card. I love all of the items I've ever seen from Shutterfly, from birth announcements to photo books. I plan to create a family Christmas card from Shutterfly this year with photos of our family. Here are just a few of the cards I'm considering:

Count Your Blessings

Swirling Ornaments

Fa LaLa

I also intend to use Shutterfly to create Paisley's birth announcements just as soon as I get her newborn pictures back from the photographer. I'll follow up with a post of both the Christmas cards we use and the birth announcements :) I'm excited to have a beautiful, healthy baby to show off this holiday season <3 Praise God!!

Paisley will be two weeks tomorrow and my husband goes back to work tomorrow, too. I'm never going to sleep again :-/ She already has her days and nights mixed up which makes for a crazy/zombie mommy, lol. I have been getting up all night with her and my hubby would get up with her in the morning and let me sleep til 11am (or later). Now I will have to do it all by myself...yikes! I had him buy me some energy drinks.

I've been trying to sing to Paisley, but it NEVER FAILS that when I sing Jesus Loves Me to her I break down and cry thinking about Mackenzie. Also, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star has a similar effect. My sweet baby Mackenzie...I will never stop missing her. I included her picture and a ladybug in some of our maternity pictures and just yesterday did the same in Paisley's newborn pictures. I know the photographers think I'm nuts but it's not about them. I couldn't live with myself if I left out our first born daughter. She's so loved and missed.

Here is a bittersweet moment as we took Paisley to the cemetery to "meet" her sister and decorate for Christmas:
