moments in the mommyhood - she's here!

guess who's here?


harper helena mae cook
born on may 14th,
weighing 8lbs 5oz



we just got home from the hospital yesterday, yes we were there a long time and i promise to write more about her birth if i ever get over the trauma of it...haha, but in the meantime big sister mackenzie is happy to have her new baby sister here and mom and baby are both healthy and happy.


i'll be busy recovering from an emergency c-section (again, more on the birth story later), revelling in that sweet new baby smell and the fact that i get the hubs home till tuesday, so no posting for me, but in the meantime the babyhood bonanza will still be going on so don't forget to stop by the mommyhood to check out all of our fabulous guest bloggers!!!

    I had an emergency C with Abby too just remember to take it really easy and get lots of help! It gets easier with time but just don't push it.

Please leave a comment, I LOVE hearing from you!

Most of the time I try really hard to respond to comments right in the comments section, I find it more fun and that way other people can join in on the conversation. If you would like for me to write you back instead, just leave your email addy (blogger doesn't always give it to me) and I'll send you a hello!
