I did learn a thing or two.

The closer we get to the end...the more all this baby mumbo jumbo is coming back to me. I guess it is like riding a bike, eh? This is mostly a good thing. The swollen ankles have appeared, the frequent trips to the restroom, the nursery decorating, the list of things we still need, and all the cleaning I feel has to be done pronto.

I have made very different decisions this time around, not only in the things I deem very important to purchase, but the aftermath plans as well. This doesn't mean that I haven't splurged on way overly priced socks that I just couldn't pass up...I'm talkin' $6 a pair, Vin still deserves to be spoiled, right?

In the 24 hours after Van was born, I was so overwhelmed with the drama that surrounded me, I forgot to completely enjoy her. I have promised myself that I will enjoy Vin from the moment he enters this world, and there will be not one drop of drama...because frankly, I won't allow it. If this means I'm not able to update my blog, facebook, twitter, etc., and no one knows he is here...thats just the way it is. I waited a long time to have my sweet Van, and I have waited just as long for my sweet baby boy...nothing and no one is going to spoil it. Do ya feel me (said like Akon)?

You take that time for YOU!

Best mindset to have dear! He's yours to enjoy, and although we can't wait to see photos, you take your time and enjoy him, count his fingers and toes, kiss his cheeks (oh how I love sweet baby cheeks...), do everything your little heart wants and you know we'll be here waiting when you get back.

And remember that you deserve to be spoiled as well! Wish I could bring you some crunchy ice today.

It's always a whirlwind for me. I know everyone says let the nursery take care of the baby in the hospital so you can get sleep before you head back to reality, but I couldn't ever do that. I love to hold my tiny babies every second I can:)

Heck yes sweetie! It is the one time in your life when you can be completely selfish and spoil yourself and your sweet little one. Do whatever you have to do to take care of you and enjoy your adorable family!!!!

yay for baby time, not drama time! That newborn baby time really does go by fast- I know everyone says that, but it's true! Mama's really their baby time!

Turn everything off and enjoy that baby. Enough said.

Good for you! I love that you are planning on "being a little bit selfish" and enjoying that new baby. Be selfish! It's too important not to. Good for you!

You are certainly one smart lady! I definitely agree. This is your time. Your time with baby, with your little family of four, your time to do as you will.
