Posted by: | CommentsFor the first time since starting Weight Watchers in May, I did NOT lose weight. In fact, I gained a pound.
DANGIT.
And then, this morning, Anna was hugging me and asked me if I had a baby in my belly.
DANGIT.
I’m hoping this next week will be a bit better. I have our meals planned out and shopped for which means no quick trips to Taco Bell.
DANGIT.
I have to run out the door for a newborn shoot with Megan’s baby, (she had her baby!) I’m leaving Elijah for the longest I’ve ever left him which is leaving my heart feeling sad and confused.
So, I figured I should post a picture of him. Don’t you think?

My friend, Keli, made this blanket for Eli. I love it so bad.

I’m kidding! I would never do that.

Or would I?

Love hope.
Posted by: | CommentsLast year at this time, we were hoping and praying the doctors would tell us we could try to have more children.
We hoped and prayed that everything would be safe, that our baby would be healthy.
I’m so thankful we had that hope.
Because he is more amazing than we could have ever dreamed.
{images from Eli’s first photo shoot with Mama, he is such a good little model, don’t you think?}




Something new.
Posted by: | CommentsThis morning, he didn’t cry.

We played.

We sneezed.

We pooped twice. Well, not “we,” just “he.”

We watched the ceiling fan. (it’s Eli’s favorite show.)

And we wondered why Mom always held a camera up to her face.

And while he was so busy being big and watching me be silly using my high-pitched voice and saying “Mommy Loves You,” over and over and over again,
I couldn’t believe two things.
One, that this is the same baby as last Monday.
and two, that I could ever, ever be so lucky to be his Mama.
