it has been way too long and there are quite a few things i want to post for me to remember.
first; however, i feel that it is important for me to mention that the reason i have been so behind is because of a terrible reality called postpartum depression. for those who are fortunate enough to have never experienced this please know that it is real and it's a beast!! thank the Lord i am a labor and delivery nurse, because if it were not for the drastic weight loss and my profession, i could have been lost in that terrible place for a lot longer than i was. i missed out on so many wonderful moments with my daughter (which is why you will notice there are no pictures from weeks 6-16) and that was the worst part of the whole deal. i will post something later about postpartum because i still would like to wrap my mind around it and i think that it is an important topic to discuss. but, for now, let me catch up on life with our precious little girl!
the pictures above are from pre and post delivery. the trip home. her first play date with millie johnson and mae turner (2 wks). first trip to the lake (3 - 4wks). first trip to the beach, where her umbilical cord finally fell off, which meant her first real bath and then we stopped by savannah to see the twins on our way home(5wks).
- the mushroom pic is one of mama's and i just loved it
- the cookies were given to us by friends during ella's first week home (delicious!)
