Evil little things they are. Wha...Ah, expectations. Evil little things they are. What I experienced when R arrived was almost a total opposite to what I expected. Preparing for the arrival of the new little person I am trying so very hard to remain open-minded and not let little evil expectations to creep in. As always, thank you for sharing. And learning tricks from pets is super cute ;) R could not resist rolling in our dog's bed and chewing on his toys. Yuck, I know, but also oh so hilarious! R also had a mohawk, just like Hazel, and I also absolutely adored it. Little bloomers was one of the first things I made for her, and her little legs looked so delicious in them :) There is just something special about those little chubby legs and bloomers, don't you think?Jenya @ While she was sleepinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11443073685889323191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512686951576132673.post-15234652009473321552015-05-02T14:15:15.787-05:002015-05-02T14:15:15.787-05:00Lovely pictures and reflections on motherhood!

I'm sure that was a combination of kid personality and my growth, but I do know that I worried a heck of a lot less and enjoyed things more. Also, I really like the London Calling Lawn! This is a good reminder to buy some more.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15892067289101529745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512686951576132673.post-9617498341536682982015-05-02T00:36:16.611-05:002015-05-02T00:36:16.611-05:00I struggled with the transition to motherhood as w...I struggled with the transition to motherhood as well. My struggle was more about giving up selfishness and adjusting to being so completely responsible for someone else's growth and development. There was a lot of crying (on my part)! Especially when I contemplated not knowing when I would be able to count on a full night's sleep again. Baby #2 was so much more enjoyable with that transition already made!

In our case I think it is because we only have a DSLR now, no iPhone and no point-and-shoot. The point and shoot (which I broke by dropping it repeatedly) was much easier to throw in my purse on outings. But I digress. The bloomers are so sweet and have the perfect amount of bloom. I love that photo of Hazel reaching under the couch.Mashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05364861545043732582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7512686951576132673.post-6422118571237972482015-05-01T01:42:30.870-05:002015-05-01T01:42:30.870-05:00Another beautiful post my sweet rachel !
