Postparty of 5

I am finally not pregnant anymore! Thanks be to God for a healthy baby and smooth delivery!  Laboring all day wasn’t totally awesome, but my epidural was, and at 11:20pm on May 4th, we welcomed our precious son! He may have taken all day to come out, but he was worth the wait, as all good things are.

Although it's only been two weeks, I’m happy to report that this has been my easiest postpartum. I haven’t had the hormonal fallout I definitely had after my first, except of course on Mother’s Day. It’s a lesson in futility to wear mascara 9 days after having a baby, much less on the day you celebrate being a mom! 

And because I’m now momming hard to three kiddos, we may be entering the season of the mini blog, the every once in awhile blog, or does Jessica still have a blog (??) blog. It’s not because I don’t have things to write about, it’s mostly because I haven’t found an easy way to comfortably hold my laptop while breastfeeding a baby. Ok, really it’s due to lack of time, sleep, and diminished brain capacity, but the laptop thing, too.

Thanks to all my generous friends and family who have brought us food, entertained my kids, and held my baby so I could nap. Speaking of, #3 just woke up, #2 has a #2, and #1 keeps asking me how baby brother got out of my belly, so this mom's gotta go.
