Let me introduce…
My little man, Elliott!! Born May 21st, 2012.
{Elliott, 1 day old}
As I mentioned in my baby shower post, we opted to not find out if we were having a boy or a girl. As it turns out, we got a son! While we honestly did not know the sex, we both had a “feeling” from the beginning it was a boy. I really wanted that delivery room surprise moment, where Nathan told me “It’s a ___!” but… as it turned out, I actually saw before he did, and immediately said to him “It’s a boy!” LOL! I told him later, I wasn’t so much telling him, but I was more so confirming with him. It’s just one of those things that happens in the heat of the moment I guess!
Elliott surprised us in more ways than one, because he came 8 days early! And I swore up and down from the beginning I thought I’d end up with a June baby, seeing as I was due May 29th. You know how they say a sign of labor is nesting, where you get this surge of energy to clean? Yeah, that didn’t happen with me. But I got a surge of energy to cook & bake! I made 2 batches of cookie dough, strawberry scones, homemade pizza, and more between Friday when I got off work and Sunday night. I guess that’s my form of nesting!
I don’t know how frequent my posts will be, as I’m not spending time in the kitchen myself these days. Taking care of Elliott is taking up most of my time, but I actually have a handful of things I’ve made & photographed stockpiled, so maybe I’ll find time to at least share those with you! PLUS, I’m participating in a FUN blog event coming up celebrate my friend’s new cookbook (can you say COOKIE DOUGH?!), and I really want to share with you a meal my mom made for us when we got home from the hospital. It was really delicious and totally my style, so therefore I know the readers of my blog would probably like it too!
Until then, here’s a little bit more Elliott cuteness. 🙂
