These pictures are by no means blog-worthy but there's a reason I'm putting my messy hair, no makeup face, grainy photos on the internet land. There's also a reason I'm thanking Kate Middleton for inspiring this
mommy outfit and helping keep my sanity. Humor me and allow me to have a little fan moment here. Dutchess Catherine gave birth a couple days after me. When she left the hospital with millions of cameras on her, I was sitting in my recliner watching in my pjs, messy hair, undereye circles, and holding a crying newborn. She was the epitome of grace and just looked so beautiful and at peace. For a moment, I thought there was something wrong with me. Here she was hours from giving birth looking amazing and I had been a crying mess looking all kinds of cray cray. Then I noticed her bump. I so loved that she didn't wear something that covered her postpartum bump. Seeing her sport her bump and look graceful gave me hope. Call me crazy but at that moment, I needed a boost.
It's been weeks of firsts for me and as I mentally prepare myself to return to work next week, crying my eyes out of course, I can't believe how happy and rich my life feels. Below is just a small fraction of my firsts with Lucas. I'm looking forward to many more first moments with our new little family!
