Now that I spend 80% of my day sitting on the couch nursing a baby, the bad news my week in iPhone photos is going to be a little repetitive. The good news is it’s almost all pictures of a tiny squishy baby, so it’s not the worst thing in the world.

Sunday:

First time being worn!! In our very most special wrap.

Super windy lake, but at least we made it ONE more time

First baby of mine to ever take a pacifier

Monday:

THAT’S RIGHT

Poor yellow baby (now he’s a blue baby)

When you turn on the jets in the bath you get a LOT of bubbles

Tuesday:

Ready for school!

How he feels about the hospital

Baby’s Second Hanna Jams (lobsters were first)

Wednesday:

Friends don’t let friends have a baby without bringing them their favorite wine

Pretending he’s still a baby too

Working on his thigh rolls

Thursday:

My life is now this…

…and this…

And three times a week this (chasing a toddler during soccer).

Friday:

Helping me make the bed

He looks so pleased with his noodle and his juice

FAAAAACE

Saturday:

Living their best lives

Bzzzzzzzz

Presents from Gymboree as part of a campaign! I’ll have the post up tomorrow!

I’m all caught up! Now I just have to edit a bazillion photos of our weekend so I can get THOSE up before the end of the week and then I might just spend the rest of the week napping instead of blogging. I’m sure you understand.

A whole week late but DONE. I can’t skip the week I had a baby – you would miss so many brand new baby photos! There will be a lot more babywearing selfies happening from this week forward.

Sunday:

Living that #lakelife

Goodbye lake! See you next summer!

I really need to have a baby soon, I have no clothes that fit

Monday:

Really very much so done with this

SO HAPPY TO BE IN THE HOSPITAL

Hospital crushed ice = perfection

Tuesday:

BRAND NEW!

Paparazzi attack already

Someone missed me while I wasn’t home

Wednesday:

I’m quickly remembering what the middle of the night looks like

Can’t stop won’t stop

Actual first day picture, taken by someone else

Thursday:

Squishy faaaaace

Naps

Gave the baby to the toddler so everyone could relax

Friday:

Early morning wake up call

PEACE OUT

So chubby

Saturday:

I forgot how much I hate carrying these things around

The toddler missed us all

And I missed the toddler too

Even though they let us go home, the whole next week was full of doctor’s appointments and a trip back to the hospital for Finn’s jaunice. It’s my least favorite and it seems to happen every time I have a baby. One more 2 week check up to get through and then hopefully we go to normal, infrequent appointments and I can spend all that time snuggling babies instead.

Late late late late late. But we spent ALL day Sunday out of the house and I spent all day today finishing all my photography stuff so I am completely caught up! Now maybe I can blog this week! Or maybe I’ll just say that and not do it again. That seems more likely.

Sunday:

Waiting in the ER is a lot easier with technology

Not impressed with my wrap skills or the tape on his head.

I am not the only one who loves wraps

Monday:

I sold this one, pretty much thanks to this picture

Beautiful evening light…at 3 pm.

CHEEKS

Tuesday:

Yes mother, that is a very nice fancy teether. Now if only I knew how to PUT IT IN MY MOUTH.

I can’t be mad about the mess when they’re practicing their words

Brother time

Wednesday:

I was too sick to wear the baby, so we did the grocery-pile-on-the-carseat method

All we did. All day.

My mail lady leaves treats for the dog

Thursday:

One of the last buildings left at the old hospital is being torn down (taken from a stopped car at a stop light, I’m not dumb enough to do it while driving).

Back floats

I am the worst, because I forgot the iPad and she had to just SIT while her brother had swim.

Friday:

Parenting win: taking the kids to a friend’s house to let them bounce while I watch from inside the warm house.

Then the friends came over for pizza and wine. NAILED IT, FRIDAY NIGHT.

DUCK JAMS

Saturday:

Never ending Halloween candy

Linc found his toes

One last sleeping baby

I spent a LOT of time under that baby this week. Usually I try to get stuff done while I sleeps but I felt TERRIBLE for the first half of the week and was busy catching up and seeing friends the second half, so nothing got done. Thank God for antibiotics and Netflix. I cannot believe it is already the second week of November. I refuse to do anything Christmasy until after Thanksgiving, but now I’m worried I’ll wake up and it will suddenly be mid-December and I won’t even have noticed. Why is 2014 going so fast?!

This week features my baby sleeping in various places. Of course, I’d like him to also be sleeping RIGHT NOW but he’s decided that’s no fun anymore. Hashtag here comes the exhaustion.

Sleeping in the hospital, looking slightly less yellow than when we went in.

There are THREE CHILDREN in this photo. I grew them all.

I need someone to come over and constantly reassure Caroline she is still adorable.

Monday:

Sleeping smiles in my lap

Caroline and Harry Potter share their ennui

I haven’t decided what to eat this on, so for now I’m using a spoon.

Tuesday:

Oh man, that face.

Mystic Drawbridge Ice Cream to watch the Mystic Drawbridge

Photographer problems: Where do I put all this crap? (Answer: on the walls)

Wednesday:

You’re going to see this onesie A LOT.

This is why I buy blueberries – I only manage to grow about 3 a year in our garden.

Flower child

Thursday:

Sleeping in the shopping cart while I but essentials.

ARM PARTY! (She made all of those)

Ice cream and farm animals because we HAD to get OUT OF THE HOUSE

Friday:

Is she three or thirteen?

E was actually home long enough to see his children. It was exciting for all of us.

Sleeping baby in a hat

Saturday:

Baby sleeping in a fabric store

My no-theme, no-effort nursery now has a theme and some effort (my mom recovered the ottoman)

Tippy toes

Linc just stopped moving (he’s still BREATHING, I checked, but he’s not wiggling) so I’m going to hope the 5th feeding in a row worked and he’s finally asleep. Fingers crossed he continues to be an A+ Would Birth Again Excellent Baby.

As a sidenote, I have another sponsored post tomorrow. I know that’s 2 in 2 weeks but I don’t have any more scheduled. It just feels like they’re close together because the only blogging I’m really doing right now is blogging I HAVE to do (I consider my iPhone Photo posts HAVE TOs, because I cannot possibly quit after 195 of them). There will be actual Deep Thoughts and a LOT more pictures soon. Just not now, because sleep.

THERE IS A BABY IN THIS WEEK’S PICTURES!

His name is Lincoln. He mostly sleeps. Real photos & a short, boringish birth story Monday sometime.

Sunday:

Free tip: if the water is FULL of oyster shells, taking your shoes off is a poor choice.

Skeptical of the lobster rolls. Probably switched at birth.

Couch nap twinsies

Monday:

High jumper

Don’t tell her that’s not a horse.

You can almost see the ball under my giant belly (Last belly appearance!!)

Tuesday:

This is what the sky looked like at 6 am when we went to the hospital because my water broke.

This is what my husband looked like while we waited ALL DAY for my labor to pick up.

This is what I looked like while I was HATING EVERYONE because my epidural stopped working.

Wednesday:

Father of THREE

Beautiful day

There are like 300 versions of this exact photo on my phone

Thursday:

More sleeping

She insisted on coming to pick us up

Pink bouncy seat, Linc don’t care

Friday:

Looking a little yellow

Napping with daddy in his fancy outfit

LOOK AT ME I’M STILL CUTE TOO WHAT’S ON MY FACE

Saturday:

Doing the hokey pokey, because that really is what it’s all about.

These are all gone now.

He loved the lights. I did not love the hospital, but he loved the lights.

We’re home now and I’m going to bed. Hopefully my baby continues to be a champion sleeper for at least one more night so I can recover from the less-than-great nights.
