BABY YSÉ

coming august 2020

Hello!

In lieu of a baby shower, we’ve created this space to connect with our family & friends!

Welcome! We have been receiving a lot of questions about if we’ll be hosting a baby shower this year- after some consideration, we have decided not to risk it right now. It is disappointing, but we’d rather keep everyone safe and without worry.
So instead of a shower, we’ve created this space to share baby info, pictures, and some games with our friends and family! Feel free to participate as much or as little as you’d like- you can leave us a message, play a guessing game, and learn a little bit about the baby (and us!) below.
We’ve also been receiving inquiries about our gift registry, so we’ve included it below as well. Please do not feel obligated to get us a gift- especially during this time, we are mindful that taking care of your own family’s health and finances should come first, and we have been lucky enough to receive plenty of hand-me-downs from friends and family already.
As some of you may know, we recently moved into a new house in LA, so we hope to be able to have a housewarming/baby welcoming party in the near future as soon as it feels safe! Looking forward to spending time with all of you soon, and thank you for your love and support!

Love,

Elissa & Tenoa

 

 

 

Tenoa Stevenson II

Tenoa Stevenson II

Tenoa was born and raised in LA, and works as a firefighter for the city of Pasadena. He has one sister, Akeeleigh, and 3 brothers- Josh (and wife Ashley), Amir, and Justin. He also has two nephews and a niece- Cody, Noa, & Kyleigh (yay, cousins!) Tenoa is most excited to share his love of the outdoors with Ysé.

Elissa French

Elissa French

Elissa grew up in Madison WI, and moved to LA in 2016, from New York. She has 3 brothers- Bradinn (and wife Nicole), Kameron, & Nile. She is working on her second clothing line, and hopes to continue working in wardrobe after baby! Elissa is most looking forward to traveling with the baby to visit family and friends.

Registry

We are sharing our baby registry for those who are interested. Please do not feel obligated to get us a gift, we have been lucky enough to receive lots of hand-me-downs from friends and family! Out of convenience, we’ve created a list on Amazon, but please feel free to purchase from other stores, or buy direct from the brand when possible. If you’d like to get something that is not on the registry, children’s books are always welcome 🙂

Follow Along

We will be posting any updates about baby below!

First ultrasound of baby, around 7 weeks.

Before she was Ysé (pronounced “E-say”) we referred to her as “swishy” because Tenoa could hear her swishing around in my stomach. 

"It ain't easy kid"

Enjoying our favorite place while we can- 22 weeks!

Anatomy Ultrasound

Tenoa and my Mom were lucky enough to be able to get into this appointment with me back in February, just before they stopped allowing any guests to attend appointments 🙁

Sign of the Times #IKEA

What nesting and preparing for baby looks like during a pandemic- wearing masks everywhere and standing in line to get in stores (tenoa lets me wait in the car til he gets to the front 🙂 ) 32 weeks.

Tenoa around 6 years old

Elissa and Mommy

Dad, Justin, Amir, Akeeleigh, Josh, Tenoa and Mom

Bradinn, Carol, Nile Grandma and Dad in Vegas

Tenoa with Mom, brother Amir, and cousin Kristyn in Paris
