Venturing Out

by Leslie

I had my first day out with both of my girls on Saturday. We went to Julia’s practice dance recital at a local nursing home.

It took us three hours to get ready. We were twenty minutes late (but that was mostly because we had to turn back once we were on the road to drop off my asshole cat Jasper who stowed away in the van while we were loading up).

Julia was beautiful and brilliant, as usual. Lucy slept through the whole thing. And I sported my post c-section Mommy Pouch, because there ain’t no covering that thing up.

That ‘pouch’ was worth getting though! Ain’t they precious! I had my darling wee granddaughter (all 8 pounds of her) snuggled into my chest like that the other day, it was GLORIOUS.

So worth it.

You guys looks so happy. Your little bumblebee is adorable. Is she digging the big sister role?

Cool to hear you are out and about. Take it light. I love seeing the sisters.

Congrats on your first day out! Took me much longer than that to get my act together

PS: I’ve posted “the big reveal” on my site. Hope you’ll like it

You look so sweet together! I’m so happy for you all, what a wonderful addition to the family!

Great picture, Leslie! You are one strong woman. First for venturing and second for squatting down like that. After my cesarean, I’m sure I would not have been able to get back up!
Congrats for growing such beautiful children.

You’re a kangeroo!

WHAT? The “pouch” is supposed to go away??? Crap, I wish someone had told me that 14 months ago, I’ve held on to mine for FAR too long.

That’s a real milestone! I’m glad you all enjoyed it!

What a great picture - you all look so cute. And I’m impressed with only twenty minutes late - that’s a pretty impressive record for your first day out.

I’m glad your doing great! Congrats on the new baby girl! Sorry I haven’t been by. I’ve been bombarded with home projects and unpacking yet we’ve still haven’t moved in.

Just thought I’d throw in that my grammar skills are on vacation today too!

You are very brave, what with that first venturing out. How do you like your baby-wrap-thingy, by the way? Is it easy to use?

Well done on the first outing babe. You girls are all so beautiful.

I see a glowing face, no post partum, happy Mom. You look so relaxed and confident. I’m so happy for you!

A lovely group of ladies.

Your bee is so cute. And the baby, is she red-headed? Overall, an absolutely gorgeous picture. (I found you because of linking to the 17 kitten video!)
