InstaFriday–A new human

I love linking up with Life Rearranged’s InstaFriday. I just love love love to document my phone pictures. (Don’t you love your phone pix too? We have our phones on us all the time and catch the cutest moments!)

due date calendar

An event reminder came up on my calendar. Baby due… but no baby.I thought I was in for another really late bundle of joy!

bible study fellowship

Started BSF again!

You should too.

Powerful!!

pirate & rapunzel costumes

I bought Halloween costumes for the big kiddos. (Rapunzel & a pirate…year 4 as a pirate!)

Stoked not to make them.

Now I just have to decide on something fun for the wee ones.

Ideas???

I was thinking Bonnie and Clyde!

big cheek baby

I did end up going into labor on the evening of my due date (when does that happen?).

A girl.

Tessa Pearl.

With BIG squishy cheeks.

trashy tv

Some new parents love staying at the hospital after baby.

We aren’t those parents.

At 5’10“ I’m too big for hospital beds and I like my own shower and couch and PJs and the chaos of being surrounded by my own kiddos. So we stay about 24 hours and get the heck out of Dodge.

Though this time it was hard to tear away from all that delicious trashy TV. Can we say Millionaire Matchmaker marathon!??!

Almost made me want to get cable again.

Almost.

But the only time I would be able to watch, would be if I was trapped in a hospital.

new mom survival kit

A new mom’s power pack. (Just missing the pedi spray bottle, those hot hospital issued panties and tucks. Thx IG and twitter friends!!)

baby sweat bands

Singlehandedly bring back the 80s sweatband!

(Lets get physical… physical. let me hear your body talk…)

sushi family date night

One of my favorite things about a new baby is the valid excuse not to cook.

I’m not blessed in the kitchen.

Sushi!

Cy loves it and Cora Jane is a champ with the chopsticks.

silly face

“Mom, lets take pictures of ourselves.”

“OK”

Have a great weekend.

I’ll be snogging our new lil’ human!!

(And nursing a lot.)

    I love not having to do the dishes while I am at the hospital with a newborn… but maybe if I had a dishwasher, I’d feel differently. And I’ve caught an episode of Millionaire Matchmaker here and there and LOVE IT! My mom even records it (never would have guessed that one). Happy to see you having a happy week! 🙂

    I want to eat her up in all of her girly goodness.
    And I am one of those weirdos who would totally still be at the hospital if they let me!
