Miss Blair Alexandra! {aka Jellybean}
Our beautiful baby girl {FINALLY} made her debut on December 31st at 4:03am.
I must admit, I have been more of an absentee blogger than I had planned on – for the past 3 weeks that is. Being a new mom coupled with recovering from a c-section (which was completely unplanned and unexpected) it has taken me longer than expected to get back in front of the computer. While I am not quite ready to tell Blair’s birth story, I am hoping to share my labor and c-section experience soon.
A few new mom tidbits:
- I’ve officially been “christened” as a mom … I’ve been peed, pooped and spit-up on!
- I feel like a walking zombie during night feeding though I’m slowly adjusting to getting up ~3 times a night to feed the little one … brings new meaning to the word exhausted.
- I put a sweatshirt on the other day, realized it had spit-up on it and decided it was “clean enough” to wear given all the other sweatshirts were in the wash.
- Getting to shower during the day is considered a significant win (seriously it’s the small things in life!).
- The dog has decided the baby doesn’t exist and completely ignores her. Sophi sits on my legs while I feed Blair and has smelled her a couple times, but that’s the closest the dog will get to the baby. On the up side Sophi doesn’t bark when Blair cries (thank goodness!!).
Okay one more picture, because sharing only one just isn’t enough. Oh yes, she is sucking her thumb on her birthday =)
Needless to say the husband and I are completely in love with the newest member of our little family!!! More new mommy tidbits to come in the next few weeks. Hopefully I am able to squeeze in some blogging between naps, diaper changes, feedings and just staring at my baby!
