I don't have any pictures uploaded yet, but on April 3, 2011 I delivered a beautiful, healthy girl Olivia Ann Gustavus into this world. I'm very happy that everything went well, even though I got cheated out of epidural (the anesthesiologist showed up too late and by the time he was ready, I was also ready to push :(. Anyway.
I will be posting the pictures on my FB page as soon as I get to it (and I honestly don't know when that will be). I am right now mostly overwhelmed, exhausted and running like a chicken without a head. Taking care of a newborn, a 14-month-old boy and a 12 years old girl at the same time is a lot harder than I ever imagined and pretty much leaves me with no time to do any reading, blogging, going online, so forth and so on. (It's a miracle I am actually managing to write this post).
Because it is so very, very difficult (physically and emotionally), I will be on a blogging hiatus for an undetermined period of time. I just don't know how long it will take before I actually have enough time, energy and will to write cohesive, somewhat intelligent and entertaining posts (or any at all).
I'm signing off now. If you're curious to see Olivia, the pics will be upcoming soon here. Until you hear from me again...
Congratulations! Take care of yourself and those wonderful kids!

Congrats on the new baby! I'm right there with you, I delivered my second child, a boy, Riley Shane, on April 25 and just posted about him yesterday on my blog. :) Although I was quick to get pics up on Facebook as that's where everyone was waiting to see our little boy. We have a 6 year old girl too so it's not quite as hectic as your situation is but I feel you. I hope you and yours are adjusting well to the new addition!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Lily! Motherhood is life's greatest challenge, but I think it can yield the greatest rewards.
