rough and ready?




sorry for the lack of pictures and blogging. i have been dealing with the remodel of our kitchen. and a newborn! OH YEA... 11 - 12 days postpartum.... the perfect time for new floors, cabinets, and sinks. karl and i sure did make a trip to home depot today to buy a sink! (sans baby... we left him with four capable grandparents as my parents are also here and we have uprooted a bit... spending yesterday and today at the inlaws (THANK YOU!) while the installers installed.

and, of course, with any home project... we are finding little things here and there to update! and tonight we might paint a bit (HAHAH! I am completely serious here.) honestly, we are both glad to be getting it done this week... for several reasons.... 1. we want it done. i couldn't stand looking at the dirty linoleum one single second longer. seriously, hands and knees scrubbing never got it clean. cheap. 2. karl is off work to handle. 3. umm... well, i am having trouble coming up with another positive at the moment as i have no kitchen sink! (or oven). (yea for breastfeeding!)

i look totally drunk and sleep deprived in that second pic! (but skinny, no!? i have ankles and the semblance of a waist! sorry, gratuitous body shot for you all to say 'YOU LOOK GREAT!' b/c i need MORE attention. probably not. but i am going to live it up while i can.)

AND that last one? yea, that's how nate feels about the remodel!

all that being said, nate is still a pretty chill little dude. i think the heavens MAY HAVE blessed us with a chill baby!?! MAYBE!! i probably shouldn't say that out loud as it will probably come back to haunt me! i, of course, am anxious about every little thing! is he crying enough? is he crying too much? is he clean? is he full? is he yellow!? (ah, jaundice!) is he breathing!? (HA!) is he hot? is he cold? ah. the list goes on and on! LIFE IS GOOD!

12 days old.

A. You look ridiculously good. I am insanely jealous.

B. Remodel... let's chalk that up to nesting? ;-)

C. I agree with nate. No kitchen sink would make me cry too!

Shut up with your skinny self. You need the disclaimer underneath that says: "These results not typical!" Seriously.

I can't believe you guys are remodeling NOW. ;) You guys... (she says shaking her head and smiling).
You look fabuloso, mi amiga. It's great to hear from you. I swear he's grown since the last time I saw him (as a lone tear slides down my cheek).
Love you guys, enjoy the family time, and good luck with remodeling!!

you look like one hot mama! but i knew you would bounce back fast. what i am more excited about is the kitchen.

Sarah said...

it is still weird to me that he is on the outside now! laying on your belly, not in your belly.
