I'm Still Here!

I think about blogging just about every day, really I do!  But between feedings and catching naps when I can, I can barely find my way to the shower, let alone the computer!  But I miss chatting with all of you, and wanted to check in to let you know I am still alive!

I forgot how all-encompassing having a newborn is.  But today I got out of the house for a few hours all by myself, and went shopping for a few things for Henry's room.  Girls, I stood in the middle of the store and felt completely lost!  What has happened to my decorating mojo?  

So in a few days I hope to be able to post a few photos of Henry's nursery to get some help from all of you...maybe you can help me get my mojo back!  In the meantime, here's one photo to show you what we've been doing the past few weeks.  Isn't my husband the cutest dad in the world?

More to come soon...really!

  4. How extremely precious your boyS are!!! Please take time to be the mama of a newborn. This season will pass before you know it. Shower definately comes before blogging! Take care of yourself and enjoy...

  38. Two years ago when I had my baby girl, I didn't know what blogging was or even if it existed. I seriously cannot imagine having the time or energy to blog, but it's great if you can. It's a nice tool to help you put the memories down in black and white! :)

    ReplyDelete
  39. Enjoy your little guy. I'm sure your mojo isn't gone. It's just resting and enjoying your little guy too!

    Great picture! I love "Daddy & his baby" pictures!

    ReplyDelete
  40. What a darling picture~I love it. Girl, you've got to give yourself TIME. Your divine decor sense will come back in full force~with more sleep and when he settles into more of a schedule. You know when things have been coming to me? When I'm sitting in a room feeding the baby and have time to look around and think. Just give it time and enjoy his sweetness and tininess while it lasts...easier said than done, I know. :)

    ReplyDelete
  41. You'll have time to find your creative mojo later...right now focus on important things like Naps! :) Your baby sure is a cutie!

    ReplyDelete
  42. He is just such a darling baby! Keep hanging in there. I am finding I have hit the fatigue stage. I am just plain tired all the time. We can do this though!!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Oh my word this picture is PRECIOUS!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Precious picture. You'll especially love it when he's about 17 and bigger than his dad and eating you out of house and home. Don't worry about us. We'll still be here but that baby will get big too soon. Mimi

    This is probably the only time in our lives we don't care if we've showered or slept. Especially when your holding your precious baby. The world couldn't smell any sweeter or be any brighter.

  73. I am missing your posts so much! You were the first place I went after I turned on my computer! I know that the first couple of months with a new baby are a daze so I understand! I had my first trip to Denver this month...I loved it! I have a cousin that lives in Thornton and she and her husband met us for dinner at Maggianos downtown...yummy!! Have a wonderful weekend!
    Love,
    Stephanie
