What happens when (just two months after meeting) a Baptist preacher's son and small-town pastor's daughter surprisingly discover they've committed the ultimate faux pas? Now it's a journey of finding out what it is to love a little baby surprise and what to do about this new husband.

(post) Delivery Discussion

My stomach has gone down a great deal since I delivered Jr.  It's no six pack, not hardly even a two pack, but I did manage to do my first few sit-ups the other day.  Breastfeeding has been a huge help too, as I'm burning around 500 calories from that alone.

Jr. Bug

Took a nice walk on Sunday.  I think Jr. enjoyed it, as much as you can enjoy sleeping through the entire walk.  To be sure, if the Mr. could've carried me and let me sleep the entire walk I would've too.

Grandpa B

I didn't talk to my pops much during the time I was pregnant and going through all of the many changes of these past few months.  I think maybe he had a hard time understanding and grasping all that was happening...it was happening so fast.  I imagine he had many concerns that went unvoiced, unspoken.  Hearsay lets me know it was harder than he let on to me.  It couldn't have been easy for him to have me disappoint him by what went on.  He still has a church congregation who look to him for guidance, and I'm sure he had a lot to deal with -- I'm sure he felt he had some smut on his face because of my choices.  

All in all I think he just wants the best for me.  I imagine any father only wants the best for his little one...I know me and Jr.'s daddy only want the very best for him.

My dad called the other day just to chat and see how we were all doing.  We hadn't done that in a while. 

It was nice.

Big Brother

There have been people who were concerned about how Bud would react to becoming a big brother.  Understandable, as many dogs do have trouble adjusting when a new baby comes into the house.  We were never worried however.  Bud is not getting as many walks or as many pats on the head as before, but he is coming into big brotherdom nicely.  Every so often he'll come and give Jr. a big lick on the head.  It makes Jr. look a little guido like he's got gel in his hair.  Guido or not, Jr. is the most handsome I've ever seen...well, other than his pops.

Jr.'s Birth Story (in sephia)

Jr.'s arrival and the hours leading up to his birth was a very private and intimate time for our new little family.  There were many hard moments, joyous moments, and surprising moments.  I couldn't begin to justly put into words all the emotions and experiences of those few hours, so instead I'll give you a brief and small glimpse - a few snapshots on the day the little boy who brought us all together finally met the two people whose lives had been immensely changed because of him.


 
 
The end of the beginning...

Prego Fashion

There were a couple prego fashions that I just didn't have the energy to post about in the last few weeks of pregnancy, so here they are now.  Hope you enjoy them and all their roundness and glory!

(post) Delivery Discussion

Did you know that when you get an epidural you also have to get a urinary catheter??  I didn't either, but it didn't really matter anyway.  Initially I did freak out when the nurse informed me of this, but since I ended up completely numb I didn't really know much difference.

I don't have many pictures yet of me and Wyatt as I've not had much time to primp and look good for a picture pose.  I'm barely finding time to eat these days.  But tonight is my first date with the hubbs since having Jr.  I hope I have time to shower first!
Love, Edamummy

My Handsome Men

Believe me, our mornings are not as restful as this looks.  But I just love having my handsome men around me.  Sometimes after a morning feeding I'll bring Jr. over to Yo for some good cuddle time just like this.  It's the most sweet thing.  More cuddle time please!

Delivery Discussions

Yes, I pooped myself.  And yes, every time I look at Jr.'s head and see how big it really is I want to poop myself again!!

Life Plan

I've managed to get pregnant, engaged, married and settling into mommydom in a year.  Wyatt was born exactly one day after my first date with his daddy.

I plan on becoming president and then taking over the world by 2020.  

I'm out.
