Limited Edition

Oh, look! We brought home the 2011 model.

August looks like Eleanor did when she was a newborn. Different nose, same everything else. It’s nice to have another baby at home.

    Congratulations! I just read your last post and wowza NO EPIDURAL! TEN POUNDS?! You are woman! The same thing happened to me (quick birth,3 hours), but I pulled the nurse’s hair and grabbed the anesthesiologist coat demanding that it wasn’t too late and I was going to die if I didn’t get that epidural. The crazy lady got her way. Hats off to you, because I surely couldn’t do it…at least not the first time.
    He is beautiful.

    SWEETNESS defined. Oh, isn’t it amazing how fast they grow? Yours are two years apart right? Same as mine! Girl first, boy second.

    Congratulations my friend, cheers to you and your gorgeous family. The best blessings of all come wrapped in wee blankets. Wishing you much love and sleep when you can grab it. A newborn and a toddler is the greatest challenge you’ll face, but you’ll survive it I know. Enjoy these sweet hours.

    Where is his sweet outfit from? (I’m expecting in September). My second baby was 10 pounds even..I also did it pain med free, not sure how, but I did (and only a 3 hour labor).

      It was from the DwellStudio line for Target.

    Ooh, he’s just beautiful! You’re making me even more excited to meet our new little one any day now (but probably not until next week sometime). So yeah, I should probably get back to working on the coming-home outfit for if baby should be a boy. For a girl, I have the outfit I made when pregnant with my first that still hasn’t been used.

  44. susan Avatar

    Such a perfect little baby. So, you going to have his photo sessions in the same chair as Eleanor or does he get his own spot?

    1. Making it Lovely Avatar

      Yes, I’ll be doing monthly photos for August as well. I’m thinking of changing the location, but I don’t know if I’ll move the Eames rocker to another part of the house for the photos or just go with a different chair.
