this week…

big sister

Someone has been fitting into the role of Big Sister pretty well. Other than she totally loses it anytime Ever cries… so, that’s that. 

little sister

This one is too cute and just perfect. We are so, so in love.

And, big news! We had our placenta encapsulated this week too. It was an awesome experience. I can’t wait to share all about it! But for now… sneak peek at the blood and guts :)

bubblegum capsules, yum.

 

Busy first week! Busy that is, sitting on the couch nursing nonstop, and watching Say Yes to the Dress while I eat incredible food that far better cooks than me have made for us. All in all, a pretty successful first week of life for our little Ever and our new family of 4(!).

  1. So cool!!! I really want to do this when we have kids, and I know it’s going to totally squick out my fiance (he already looks at me like I’m a crazy hippy when I mention that, ideally, I want to birth our future children at home… but I will win him over), so it makes me really happy when I see other people doing it. Gives me something to point to and shout, “See? Totally normal!”

  2. that placenta is pretty cool and definitely a tree of life. Have you ever heard people say, “I just want to eat that baby up?” Some people think it sounds cannibalistic; but, I think it’s a term of endearment. That’s how I feel about that pic of Ever.

  3. That is, by far, one of the most bright-eyed, alert looking newborns I’ve ever seen. She’s taking it all in already. Also, beautiful placenta! Lucky Ever!

  7. Wow! So amazing to see the placenta! I have read recently that women put it into pill form and it helps out a lot with energy and such. I look forward to hearing about it. Your daughters are beautiful, just like their Mama. I love the name you choose for Ever – so pretty, unique, and whimsical.
