Hi friends! Just wanted to pop in briefly from maternity leave to share an update today, because there’s someone very special I’d love for you to meet…
…our sweet Teo!
Our son, Teo (pronounced the Spanish way, “tay-oh”) Elliott Martin, was born on March 16. And for those of you who have been following our story, I’m thankful to report that the epidural that we had been praying might work despite my back issues (I shared a bit about this in my last post) mercifully took hold on the very first try, which meant that both Barclay and I were able to be there together to hear Teo’s first precious cries and welcome him into the world. Goodness…what a moment. ♡
After so many ups and downs this pregnancy, we’re still in awe that our little boy is finally here. He’s perfect and healthy and super-snuggly and outrageously cute…and we feel like the luckiest parents in the world. Truly can’t believe how much we love him and how sweet and natural life together as a family of three already feels. We spend a record amount of time each day just staring at him and soaking up his sweet newborn cuddles and showering his yummy cheeks with a million kisses. And we are loving this opportunity to finally learn how to be parents — even sleep-deprived, sore-in-all-the-places (hellooo, postpartum), often-hilariously-trial-and-erroring-our-way-through-each-new-day and all. This tiny little human has captured our hearts in the biggest of ways, and we are just so happy that he’s ours.
Anyway, I can’t wait to share more updates with you once I’m back from maternity leave. But in the meantime, feel free as always to follow along on Instagram for more behind the scenes updates from our lil’ newborn bubble over here. And thank you again for all of the love and prayers and encouragement you’ve been sending our way these past few weeks especially. We feel it and are sending you back so much love from Barcelona today.
Here are a few pics from these first few weeks together with Teo as a family of three! ♡
Congratulations to you and your husband! Teo is a beautiful baby. Love the photo of him and your 2 dogs?. I have 3 grown children and 11 grandchildren. They are all such a blessing and have brought so much love into my life. I’m sure everyone will tell you to enjoy every minute because it goes by so fast. It’s so true! Seems like yesterday we brought our first baby boy home. All the best to you and your family of 3❤️
Thank you for sharing these lovely moments. Treasure each and every moment because it all goes by too fast! Best wishes from our family to yours!
Teo is awesomely cute. Wishing you all the joys of parenthood and being a family of 3. Everyday will be an adventure. You’ll both be wonderful parents.
The pups will start paying attention to Teo when he’s old enough to throw some food their way, lol. Wishing you an easy recovery.
