Bouncing Back: Josiah's Arrival

It's official folks. I've entered back into the land of spit up and poopy diapers. 

Honestly, a huge side of me got excited when I pushed the "New Post" button for this entry. 

Gosh it's been a while, blogging world! How the heck are you?! 

Here's a big chunk of why I've been absent: 


Our handsome Josiah Lee was born on October 1st. 
7 lb. 15 oz. 
20 inches long



Little man decided to make his entrance into this world two weeks early. 


Addy is officially a big sister. 




We've reentered the world of sleepless nights, frequent diaper changes and endless laundry. 


He's a thinker all ready, even if most of his thinking happens during sleep. 




He's already been on several walks...


and compared his belly button with his big sisters (notice his thinking taking place here).


He's had many books read to him by Addy...


been given a few baths from mommy and Addy...


been to the pumpkin patch (although he was thinking...uh I mean sleeping most of the time...)



Mommy has allowed herself a small amount of coffee to maintain some sort of sanity these days...


Josiah had to think long and hard about how he felt about that. 


We've loved having multiple snug sessions. He loves to snug front and center, just like in the womb. 


And he makes sleep look really good...




Mommy has had fun with little boy clothes...



We waited almost four weeks before we gave Mr. Man a bottle of his breast milk. They say to give it time so there's no nipple confusion. Today, we broke that. Josh fed him his first bottle at midnight and Addy fed him a breakfast bottle this morning. But once Josiah pooped two minutes in, Addy was done. "I'm all done, Mama." 


Lastly, this cute little snapshot ended my night. I got both kids in jammies, Addy bathed. Josiah and I went in Addy's room to say prayers and read a few stories before bed. I laid Josiah down, milk drunk as he was with his pacifier in his mouth. In just a few short minutes, Josiah had fallen asleep in his big sisters bed. Precious. 


I'll share more shenanigans as a mama of two littles later on. For now, a brief update will suffice and I should probably get some sleep while they sleep...or at least head that way after some laundry and dishes get done...another day in the life!

Simple Delights

I just bathed and put to bed the kids (one has four legs!). It has been a long, exhausting and rewarding day. I got to end the day with both snuggled in my arms in front of a cozy fire. This mom thing is crazy fun! I feel very blessed tonight. Now onto cleaning this house!

My Mama's Birthday

When my mom was little she thought for sure that all the flags that were out around town were all out for her, in celebration of her birthday. Nowadays, I think my mom realizes that June 14th is not only her birthday, and a very special day at that, but it's also Flag Day.

This past Friday and Saturday afternoon, Josh and I were able to travel down to LC to visit the folks and celebrate mama's birthday! I won't tell you how old she is, because that may embarass her (she's 54), but I will tell you that my mother seems to just keep getting more and more radiantly beautiful as the years go by. And, it's so hard to believe that a mere 54 years have transpired since mama has entered this world. WOW!

While Dad and Josh went out for burgers and bowling, mom and I enjoyed a lovely high tea together at a new little tea house, south of where they live. Over savory scones, chocolate mint tea (decaf mind you), mini quiches and delightful little desserts, we laughed and shared and remembered.

The day before, mom and I wandered over to the mall and throughly enjoyed some all-girl time as we shopped. I felt like mom's personal shopper as I tried to find her some new colors and styles to try out! She's looking soooo fabulous!!

Mom has always been the biggest support in my life. She's mom and I could chat with her about all my little nuances growing up. As I've come into my adult years, now we get to be part of each other's lives as woman. Mama I love you dearly! You're always in my heart.
