mommies they’re mommies / AA!!!
OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS.
ONE of my sisters had her BABY BOY 2+ weeks ago and oh my God I never wrote about it!!!!!!!! WELCOME BABY AA!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 I promise to try and live up to some sort of example of an auntie/namesake and I canNOT wait to meet you, Mr. Fancy Hair Head!!! He is the CUTEST ever, for real ;). SOOOOOOOOOO happy for them. My sister is in heaven.
One of my friends is having a baby TODAY(!!!) and it is turning out to be much more challenging than anticipated for them to meet their new family member. Thinking of her + her husband + baby a lot today!
One of my friends wrote this hilarious and ACCURATE post about new mommyhood and I can’t stop reading it, she seriously nails it: Shout out to all the mommies out there. GOOD JOB.
Mommies…they’re mommies!!!
Babies…they’re BABIES!!! My baby is no longer such a baby, she is a Sort-Of Toddler. Who walks and walks and tries to talk! She is amazing. Something new every day and it’s so amazing that the person she is will keep changing and learning and growing every single day…incredible. What a gift it is to watch. I can’t even capture it adequately so…I won’t.
This time of year reminds me of high school summers and glow sticks and driving around and teaching gymnastics and lunch buffets and AM workouts and biking to practice and diving? sort of and hangouts and waterballoons and website making and craziness and no sleep. No sleep…it was so fun though.
This summer is probably one of my favorites ever though (even alongside Summer of Leave 2013, which was super awesome, but hard due to health news for my Dad at the end…). SO MUCH GREATNESS! Pool babies, seeing Katy + meeting Carter, get to meet baby AA soon!, baby AA born/other babies being born!, NEW HOUSE that is a mess but we adore, Baby-Turning-Sort-Of-Toddler delighting us, etc.etc.etc. I’m sure there is more.
Ummmmm I have to work now. Over + out!
