I know a lot of people thought I was crazy...heck I even thought I was a bit crazy...to have weddings booked so close to my due date (2 weeks after). Why did I allow this? Well because I had to cancel and turn away enough weddings around my due date... I wanted to at least keep the weddings at the end of the month and just do whatever I had to do to make them happen.
I added to the craziness by agreeing to take on an additional wedding the weekend of August 20th. I already had one booked, but since they were both on the small side and both in the same area delivery wise, I said yes....I have a bit of a problem with saying no (but I'm getting better at it now that I have a baby!)
If baking for two weddings, and a limited amount of orders, less than two weeks after having a baby doesn't sound crazy enough...I also decided my husband and I could pull off a double delivery with a newborn in tow!

All packed up and ready to go!
I have had a lot people curious as to whether or not I am baking and I think some of these people are concerned that I am not taking advantage of the precious time with my newborn. So I want to clarify that yes I am baking, and yes I certainly am taking advantage of EVERY moment. I have the advantage of owning my own business...which means I'm on my own time and can take Wyatt with me when necessary or my husband can bring him so I don't have to go without seeing him (which he's amazing for doing for me!). I'm adjusting my schedule to Wyatt; which means baking later in the day (reserving those 3 a.m. wake-ups for him rather than baking. Between taking him with me when he was sleeping and my husband bringing him, I only had to go a 4 hour stretch of baking without seeing him last week. And trust me...it was super hard and I probably didn't put him down for the rest of the night!
Now onto the double delivery. I would have had my parents babysit Wyatt...but they had a wedding of their own to attend...and well I just couldn't bear to go without him just yet! We had to deliver to Richland Center and Spring Green and were on a tight timeline. While we left promptly at the time I planned on leaving....Wyatt's schedule got a bit thrown off around lunch time (had to let him sleep when we planned on having him awake)..which meant I knew at some point we'd have a hungry baby on our hands right in the middle of delivering.
So while it was a little more hectic than usual (yes he woke up and wanted food just like I predicted), we made it work! While I set up the cupcakes my husband tended to Wyatt (again, did I mention how amazing he is?!). And we still managed to get in and out of the venues with time to spare! I know we can't take Wyatt on every delivery, but I think I may have just wanted to prove to myself that we could do it. And we did!
Thanks for another week of orders everyone!
