Happy Valentine’s Day 🤍
•
Valentine’s hit a little different this year for me. There was a couple of people who felt I was pregnant at one point. Not really thinking it would be true I kept pushing it off. Well on father’s day of 2022, my husband & I found out we were expecting our 2nd child! Of course we were so excited, yet so nervous, because 2 under 2 sounded like the scariest task. In July we lost our sweet little blessing. I had just lost my grandma in June & then miscarried. Honestly, I thought I came to terms knowing everything happens for a reason. It wasn’t until the following months that I realized how much it affected me mentally. There is always that “why” that doesn’t stop. It is really hard to explain, except it was/has been a challenging time for me. I felt like a lot of things were going wrong.
So in October I decided to push myself in making steps to turn Babyfever into a B R A N D. To turn those pajamas that I drew when COVID hit & turn it into a reality. To not be afraid of failing. That alone has also been a challenge. It wasn’t until a few weeks ago when someone made me feel like my business wasn’t enough. That I didn’t have loyal customers. That I wasn’t established enough. It’s a feeling I will never forget nor want someone else to ever feel. I get it though. No one knows what someone has been through or is going through until it’s them. But we ALL start somewhere. For some, they rise to success quickly. For some, it takes them years to get “known”. And that’s where I am. My husband and I use our own funds to try to keep BF going. I stopped working to try a storefront. But I know deep inside I want to prove to myself that I can and WILL do big things. So I am putting this out there so you too can hold me accountable + push me! And seriously THANK YOU, to those who support, shop & share my stuff. It means the world!
I’m still navigating on what that next step is. It’s a lot. Designing, customs, packaging, funds, production Ect. But I know this pajama will be my first launch. I tried really hard to launch this pajama today on Valentine’s, but it just wasn’t in the cards.
Why today?
Well my due date was February 14, 2023 🤍
