4 Men 1 Lady

a lifestyle blog about the persuit of bringing beauty to a house full of men.

Postpartum.

by |

It seems logical to assume the last month of pregnancy is so uncomfortable so women will agree to almost anything just to get the baby out. Almost anything being delivery without pain medication, water retention, engorged milk jugs, and everything north and south of the border terribly swollen.


And I’d do it all again for this guy.

I’m totally and completely smitten with him.

  12. OMGOSH! Those cheeks are just too much! And look at those pretty lips. You’ve got yourself quite the looker there Momma…:) TOOO cute!!!

  14. Congratulations Michelle! He’s perfect. And exactly the same weight as my DD was(wondering if you get the same reactions from people that I did)
    Enjoy every second with him!

  17. Congratulations Michelle! He is just beautiful, those cheeks are killing me!

    P.S. I went too fast for an epidural also, and remember how crazy it was in contrast to having one. It was like going from a tea party to a Biker bash, truckers mouth and all.

  21. Smitten is such a perfect word. I am expecting my first in August and am sorta kinda hoping maybe trying to do it naturally. I’m sure you are quite busy, but if perhaps you would consider posting some natural childbirth experiences/advice it would be much appreciated.
    Congrats on the new addition!

  25. how could you not be?! what a precious little guy.

    hang in there pretty lady… you’ll forget about the “rough parts” soon. 🙂 i mean that’s what we all do in order to agree to having more than one child, right? 😉

    hey, by the way… why didn’t we ever see the awesome nursery we’re all sure you put together for him? or did i miss it somehow? 🙂

  26. He is gorgeous. A New Born is allways a wonder and Ì´m allready looking forward to my grandchildren. After four natural births I would rather prefer not to get pragnant again. Althought I can´t stop looking in every buggy.

  34. What a little chubster! Gotta love those cheeks! Take your time and enjoy the love…as a mother of three sons (and one lonely daughter), you know how crazy it’s gonna be! Blessings to you and your precious family…

  38. PLEASE do yourself a favor and take oh so gentle care of YOURSELF. i did NOT do this after my last child, and i paid a dear price for it.
    i don’t want to scare you, but please move oh so gentle, don’t lift, i am going to repeat that, DO NOT LIFT, do not pick the baby up even from a sitting position.
    Your insides are delicate, after a third and large baby.
    My nurse touched my shoulder and said go home, get in your jammies, for about 6 weeks and take it easy. i did not listen. oh how i wish i did.
    please take gentle care of yourself, respect what your body went thru and how you need to truly heal, and don’t lift, don’t strain, and don’t be supermom.
    Sending you love and congratulations and that beautiful baby. oh 3 boys, what love, what luck, what adventure! Enjoy 🙂 (read this again if you need to remind yourself, you will thank this anonymous mommy. )

  50. Oh my goodness, he is so precious! Many congrats to you and your family. Be proud of all that you did to welcome him to the world!!

  55. He is very cute. He makes the greatest faces! It looks like he’s already smiling in the one. Congrats and happy healing! (“Engorged Milk Jugs” – my least favourite part.)

It is nice to meet you!
