Introducing Penelope Jean Stahl๐
The past few months have been a whirlwind for our family. This pregnancy came with many unexpected challenges and scares, all during one of my busiest seasons this past Fall into Winter. To all of my incredible clients, thank you. Your patience, kindness, and support meant more to me than I can put into words. From unexpected surgery due to an ovarian torsion early in my pregnancy to complications from blood pressure and sicknesses, thank you for your help and understanding.
Our little girl, Penelope Jean Stahl, made her entrance after keeping us on our toes; she first tried to arrive in February at 32 weeks and finally joined us on March 5th, six weeks early at 34 weeks. Due to my high-risk pregnancy, she spent 21 days in the NICU at OSU, and we are beyond grateful to now be home together, settling into new routines and soaking in every moment.
This season of life looks a little different right now, and Iโm currently on modified baby leave through April. That said, I am still here, still planning, and still so excited for the weddings and families I get to work with this year. I truly cannot wait to celebrate alongside all of you.
And if you happen to hear a little baby cooing in the background during a callโฆ now you know why. ๐ค
Thank you again for being part of this journey with me, it means everything.
