Welcome Alexander!

Sep 22, 2015

As you know from my previous post, I was about to have a baby. And I did! I want you to welcome Alexander Walker Matt!!

 

 

Alex weighed 8 lbs, 2 oz, and was 21 and 1/2 inches long. He was born on August 26th at 2:33 pm. We stayed in the hospital for 2 days and came home on a Friday. Since then, I have been busy trying to figure out how to juggle and be responsive to two children at once. It’s very challenging. Ellie has had a hard time adjusting to not having my full attention and Alex has been, you know, just being a newborn. I always have some trouble with the newborn stage, but adding a rambunctious toddle on top of it has been super challenging. I know that I’m going to make it, somehow, so I’ll just keep taking it day by day.

In the meantime, here are some photos I recently took of Alex. I am still just trying to keep my head above water, so I doubt I’ll be posting regularly… yet. Be on the lookout for more posts, and those posts are going to be geared more towards the actual purpose of this blog; FASHION!!

I just wanted to add that I am totally in the midst of some serious fashion exploration. I have baby weight to lose, so I don’t want to go shopping yet I am totally sick of wearing my maternity clothes. I also have to make sure that I can easily access a boob, I know, TMI, but since I’m breastfeeding, it’s just a reality. So with those obstacles in mind, I’m on the hunt for ways to make myself somewhat presentable. Not for others, but mainly to give myself a little boost of confidence. Sometimes, the only thing one may have is that she’s having a good hair day, you know what I mean?

    You are beautiful inside and out. The only advice that I can give you is that it’s ok when there are days that you are not feeling like a “perfect” mother. Having two young children can be messy (in more ways than one). It’s ok to be “good enough” if you are giving them love and support. My mother used to tell my “Honey, some days are diamonds and some days are glass.” You can do this!

      Thank you Beth! It helps to hear stuff like that because I for sure look a lot like glass sometimes 🙂
