I finally made birth announcements for my 4 year old and my 2 year old. Why so late? Because they were both born early and I was busy doing other stuff like trying to keep them alive and healthy. And not to mention keeping myself sane.
There's a lot of stuff people do when they have babies, cute, twee stuff that I can never get the hang of, like professional pictures, or those monthly "watch me grow" photos.
And frankly, if I had done it back then, I'd have gotten a batch of cards and probably wouldn't have sent them out till now. So I think this works out just fine. And when people do get them, imagine their surprise. I guess I could blame the USPS but why kick a guy when he's down!
I am proud of the cards I made on Shutterfly.com. And the thing about making the cards so long after the boys have been running amok on this planet, is that it looks as if I made such effort between the first and the second child to make sure the cards were coordinated. Haha! And I can I take credit for something I didn't do! And even if they end up in folks' recycling, I will cherish these cards. And I hope the boys will add them to their scrap book!
