First full day at work with Mommy

Bailey was such a good boy today at work. Napping with the kids then up for activities (he watched while they all played).

One of my favorite pictures

Smiles

I'm certain these are real smiles, they came about while playing and no noises from down under followed!

secret to longer naps

Bailey has come down with a cold...struggling to breathe past the mucus that keeps coming back no matter how much mom tries to get rid of it. So what's a boy to do? Nap for hours on the mommy pillow.

Baby vs the drunk in the bar

Bailey is like that guy in the bar that has had a lot to drink yet appears sober...then served another drink (one that he doesn't finish) precedes to snuggle up to the nearest boobs before passing out.

We love naptime

Bath time

Bailey wasn't a fan of his first bath...but I think hunger had something to do with it. Now he seems to enjoy being dunked in a warm bath. But don't we all?

A beautiful day

We had a lovely walk to the park that Bailey slept through as the ducks played and the geese honked at us. He woke as the sun was setting to nurse in the spring like weather.

How's it going you ask?

Eat, sleep and repeat. That has been life for the last wonderful 6 weeks. Bailey is the light of my life even if we hardly move off the couch except to go to bed. He is going through such amazing growth spurts that he eats non stop. My 6 week old baby is wearing 3-6 months clothes. All his 0-3 months clothes are too short for his long, chubby body.

My beautiful Boy!

Thanksgiving Baby!

Bailey Wynn is here!
Born November 26th. 8 lbs 11 oz and 21 inches long. Mommy went all natural childbirth. You would have been proud. I'm going to write it up later...right now..life is all about sleep, nursing and healing!

Children and their thoughts about my belly

At preschool, the children know I have a baby in my belly, and many have had their own personal experience with a new baby in their family this year. But that doesn't stop their curiosity about the growing belly.

Mary, a bright 4 year old asked me when I was 7 months along, "If babies are so small why is your belly so big?"
____

Just last week a cute 2 1/2 year old redheaded boy asked me why I had a big belly. I quizzed him back, "why do you think?" thinking he knew why as everyone did.

"I think you ate too much snack in the Big Room," he cleverly replied. "My belly gets big too after I eat snack."

"Oh, yeah that could be, but I have a baby in my belly," I responded.

He looked at me for a full minute deciding if I was telling the truth, then said, "No, I think you just ate too much snack." He proceeded to pat his belly as he finished his snack.

Baby Shower

What a wonderful shower! Just how I wanted it with baby's dad there to share the love and support from family and friends! It felt great to be surrounded by so much love! Thank you!

Big thank you to Dawn and Heather for throwing the party, you girls rock!

For those of you who missed the shower I plan to have a celebration at some point with baby to welcome him in our world! I'll keep you posted.

For those of you asking me, I still have a registry up at Amazon.com.

Anyday?

14 days to go... or how about tomorrow??
