Holland is officially 2 weeks today! She is such a good baby and fits in perfectly with our on the go family lifestyle. I loved putting her in her new swimsuit. I too loved getting into my new swimsuit as well. My favorite part of summer is getting a new fun suit. Here are a couple other suits I am craving for this summer.

Bells Palsy

As I look at my perfect baby I have been blessed with, I am overwhelmed with gratitude that it is me with the defects and not her. I was worried for nine strait months that she was going to be affected by my surgeries I had when I was unknowingly pregnant. I love my family and pray that my face will recover. On Monday, exactly one week after childbirth, I went to the ER because I couldn’t feel half of my face. I have Bells Palsy where half of my face is now paralyzed. This is common after childbirth, It’s 90% recoverable, it’s just a waiting game of when it will hopefully go away.

She’s Here! Little Miss Holland Kate is Here! She is just wonderful! Going into labor was crazy! Last time with Hudson my water broke, I went into the hospital they gave me an epidural, never felt a contraction. This time I start feeling contractions go into the hospital I get sent home dialated at a three, I labor at home all night I go back to the hospital in the morning then get an epidural. I much perefer my water breaking before any contractions start!

*Disclaimer*
Before I had Holland I took a couple shots of some of my favorite maternity outfits, I am going to post these photos for the next two weeks and call this my maternity leave.

Thank you for all your supportive emails and comments. I feel so blessed to be a mother again! Family really is the most important, I am so grateful I got to expand mine! Stay tuned for when Holland will be introduced!
