I think it’s a cruel joke that society expects us to deliver birth announcements when we’ve just had a baby. As if I don’t have enough to do? Why not throw a party at my house too and invite the neighborhood!? (Can you tell I’m hormonal?)
Sure, I could have stuck it to the man, gone against the grain and decided to forego it. But then there’s the fact that I have a lot of family and friends that live far away, I am a graphic designer by profession so there’s no excuse not to make one, and – naturally – I wanted one to put in his baby book; so I decided to do it anyway. I guess I’ll stick it to the man next time.
I did, however, wait until he was 2 months old to send it out. I’m pretty sure everyone already knows at this point that he has joined our family, but I bet they didn’t know that he weighed 7 lbs. 5 oz. at birth! So that alone is reason to send it… right?
Here’s our sweet little man and all his birth day stats:
This birth announcement is also available for purchase in my shop here.
