Quick post to let you know that I'm still alive. I hope to rejoin the blogging world consistently soon - I have so much I feel like sharing with you and not enough time. I've actually had to start keeping a list when topics come to mind. Hopefully, I can start knocking them out now that we are sleeping nice stretches at night. (hallelujah!)
On December 31, 2016 - Our little man decided to make his appearance just 3 days shy of his due date. My labor (one blog topic) was extremely short compared to my 72 hours with {Zoey}. Just a little over 12 hours of labor and we got to meet our son, Luke Christopher, weighing a whopping 8 pounds 9 ounces!! 24 hours later, we were given the all clear to go home early and took our sweet boy home to meet his PROUD big sister.
My heart explodes every time I look at these pictures.
Since then it's been a whirlwind month of very little sleep and trying to keep everyone healthy (Chris and Zoey went down with colds - you try telling a 2 1/2 year old they can't kiss their brand new baby brother or touch them with their saliva drenched hands). Just when I was feeling like I had this mommy thing down....having two kids just rocked my world (another blog topic). We are a month in and I'm starting to feel like it's going to be okay though. I wouldn't change anything for the world, but it hasn't been easy and I just felt a little lied to when people told me it was "like they'd always been a family of four from the start" and "their heart immediately expanded exponentially", etc.
This boy though, he is everything. We just have the two very best kids in the world and our family is most definitely complete now.
PS. Shout out to my {Stitch Fix}
stylist, Jamie! She's been making me feel human with a couple postpartum fixes (another blog topic). I had the best maternity fixes with her too - she's awesome.
For now, I'm going to resume cuddling my baby boy and binge watching all the Netflix (another blog topic). Talk soon. xx
