Nathaniel “Tate” John Roberts • Born March 1, 2023

It’s hard to believe there was ever a time when I wasn’t sure motherhood was for me. The love we have for this little soul is immeasurable, and as big as everyone said it would be. Thank you for all your well wishes, support, generosity, and encouragement. I can’t think of another time we’ve felt adored this much! We’re all settling in, surviving on Tate’s 10lbs of homemade arm rolls, and growing in love as a family. Minus the sleep deprivation, the dogs also approve.

I am in the office as often as possible checking emails and responding to inquiries but as always, I appreciate your patience as I continue to navigate this new chapter. Big hugs! 🥰

🤍 The Robertses

Thank you to my friend @chelseafarnerphotographs for convincing me we needed newborn photos, they’ll be forever cherished! And to our friend Andrea of @stitchact for embroidering the most beautiful blanket for our chonky cherub. You’re the best emergency contact anyone could have! 🥹

If you’re in Abilene and looking for a doula, I cannot say enough good things about @thefullcircledoula. She has been the foundation of our support system throughout our pregnancy and postpartum journey. There aren’t enough ways to thank you, Rachel! 🫶

Throwback to when I thought I had a bump! Now, being 39 weeks, I look back at pics I sent Nathan like I really did not think I could get any bigger, did I?! 😂

Pretty surreal but we get to meet our baby this week! I want to take a minute to thank everyone for their love and support during this time. 🫶 We feel ready and the most anxious-excited we’ve ever been!

I will continue to be on planned maternity leave until April and my response time between now and then on social media and email will be snail slow. Really trying to soak in this time and savor these last moments with my husband and first moments with our new family of three! Eeek!

Wishing you and yours a merry little Christmas! 🦌🤍🎄

When it all comes full circle 💫 Michelle and S

When it all comes full circle 💫

Michelle and Steve worked with Nathan while we were all living in Germany. Michelle and I became fast friends with loads in common and with a heart of gold I was always keeping my eyes peeled for the perfect partner to match her insane talent and energy in life.

One day Nathan and I were invited to a BBQ and Steve played corn hole with us. I remember him being unassumingly funny and got a brief rundown of his background. Nathan agreed that we should totally plant a little seed next time we saw Michelle. Which we did. Planted and watered. And then Nathan did the same to Steve.

We hoped for what they’d soon to find out, that they’re the perfect match! Here they are 3+ years later — their love has spanned continents and they’re planning their own best day ever! As the sweetest humans they give us more credit than we deserve for them choosing to pursue a romantic connection but we’ll take it. Huge Stechelle fans over here! 🤟

I’m so excited to share with all of you that Nat

I’m so excited to share with all of you that Nathan and I overjoyed to be expecting a sweet bebè boy in March! After a decade of life and love together, we both felt that there’s never been a better time for our next inspiration.

I’m sure you’re wondering what this means for you, my incredible clients! I’ll be taking planned maternity leave beginning mid-December until early April. Thankfully, the timing lined up during my typical off season so I’m praying for a minimal amount of disruptions in the accessibility to me or my calendar.

Thankful for all of you, forever and ever, and hope you’ll enjoy as I share some more behind the scenes of the rest of our pregnancy journey! 💫🤘

Just say yes to Oregon. All the time, but especial

Just say yes to Oregon. All the time, but especially in the winter. Can’t believe I’m just posting film scans from last year’s birthday/anniversary trip!
