I had a busy two weeks...
>Have baby - check!
>Sort through, organize and ship out nearly 200 pieces of clothing - check!
>Take Big Squish to have his first haircut - check! and sob!
>Watch The Bachelor {arguably the most important and meaningful item on this list} - check!
Life is finally slowing down a bit and I am loving it. I have actually had time {if by having time you mean squeezing in 4 minute blocks of silence here and there} to do things like make granola and shower. Three cheers for soap! Our new little nugget is doing well {if by doing well you mean eating every 2 hours around the clock and causing her mother to literally hallucinate from sleep deprivation} and is nearly 7 pounds. She is a tiny piglet! Squish is handling her presence beautifully, and is doing extremely thoughtful 19 month old little boy things like give her his bulldozer spoon and try to get her to smell his giraffe blanket. Bless. I am very proud of myself for getting my clothing orders sent out the same week she was born, and, best of all, I have fallen in love with Biz all over again while seeing him adjust to life with two children and step up to the plate as a husband and father in more ways than I could have ever imagined.
Here is a little slide show for the visual learners:

Somehow my lap has quadrupled in size and I now have 6 arms. I can magically fit Big Squish and the baby in it at once...while nursing...and holding my iPhone so Squish can watch videos of himself the whole time.
Yeah this is what happens when I try to fit cooking time into the day between nap times and feedings. At least it was really easy and not at all time consuming to clean up.

And after :)
As I slowly get back into the daily routine of life {two children is more than twice as much work, by the way. Who knew?} I have one thing to ask of you in 2011, dear readers: What do YOU want me to post about? More fashion? Interior design? Motherhood and family? Cooking? Exercise and nutrition? Beauty? Do tell!
p.s. I have already picked out her {I will give "her" a blog name soon...} big girl room fabric...two years ahead of schedule...you like? Designer's Guild Barcelona roses. Imagine with bright neon fuchsia lacquer desk, ghost chair, some Jonathan Adler pillows, maybe some red and white chevron wallpaper on the ceiling...oh I can't wait!


oh my gosh! congratulations! that bag photo of little squish is adorable!!!! you look amazing as well! :)
ReplyDeletei want it all!!! definitely more of you and the fam! it's so cool getting to peek in your world - but definitely like to stay up with your fashion line as well! xoxo
More of everything! Love it all!! And a big congrats on your little lady!
ReplyDeleteOnce again, congratulations on the new addition to your family. She is beautiful!
ReplyDeleteOne of things I enjoy about your blog is that you post about a variety of subjects. You share your crazy schedule and fun travels. The rest of us get to live vicariously through you. :-)
I am so impressed that you are even blogging right now with a new baby. You are superwoman!
Hope you are staying warm during this "arctic blast", haha! Have a great week.

CONGRATS!!! I just had a little boy 2 weeks ago(my daughter is 16 months so I know where you're at:) I also seem to remember that you're doing BW - would love to hear how that's going...obviously I want more mom/family stuff but I also love your "what I wore" posts and just about everything else you write about!
ReplyDeleteOh girl - I feel for you! I would love to be doing BW with her right now but she just still isn't ready to go 2.5 - 3 hours. Frustrating but I can't force her right now! I will definitely do BW once I feel it is appropriate and will keep you posted on how it goes. She is already vastly different from Big Squish though so what worked for him might not work for her...we shall see!
ReplyDeleteWhat I Wore - I know I know! I need to do another post. Right now my pajamas and eye mask don't make for much inspiration though ;) xoxo
