My loves, take 2 | personal

I love these photos of Jonah and Jason.  Zachary isn’t nearly as cooperative as Jonah was when it comes to photos.  So I’m super thankful to have caught this one of two of my loves.  Jason is such an amazing husband, partner in life, father.  He’s been my rock the last week plus.  He has been on top of everything around here all while caring for me as I recover from a very difficult and traumatic birth experience and surgery.  Not just physically, but emotionally, as we all begin to process.

I love seeing these two together.  The love.  The chub under Zachary’s armpits.  The dimples in his elbows.  The little grin. […]

Zachary – 1 Week Old | personal

I can’t believe it’s been a week already.  Why are these early days so long when they go by so quickly?  My mom bought this amazing blanket for Zachary and I absolutely love it.  It’s so soft!  I’m really glad I took this photo when I did because that night his cord stump got stuck in his sleeper zipper and it popped off.  A little before it was ready and I felt so bad when he let out a little whimper.  Ugh, mommy guilt.  I’m sorry buddy!

We had a really hard time choosing a name for our little guy.  We didn’t make a final decision until just a few weeks before he […]

I’d say | personal

I’d say Taryn was the most anxious for Zachary to be born.  Several times a day she would come to me and talk to me about how wonderful it’d be to have a new squishy baby in the house again.  About his hands and feet and the top of head.  About how cute he’d be and how much she was looking forward to holding him.  She absolutely couldn’t wait to get her hands on him.  And then when she did, he was small and felt fragile and it made her nervous.  I noticed she wasn’t asking to hold him much in our first few days home.  Sure enough, she admitted she felt […]

So very tired | personal

In my postpartum exhaustion I put this hat on backwards 3 times.  Then my mom fixed it.  So very tired.  C-section recovery is no joke.  I’m struggling in so many ways, emotionally and physically.  For the record, Zachary was not tired for this photo.  Captured during a slow blink because he was wiiiiiide awake.
