Our First Fourth of July as A Family of 3


Naturally this is going to be a photo dump because as a new mom I'm even more addicted to my iphone than before.  Now that we have settled into some type of routine, things are getting easier. Or maybe not easier, but just more manageable. I've accepted the fact that this baby girl is a cluster feeder which means she eats 24/7. Which means minimal sleep for mama. 


This weekends highlights consisted of me pumping 3oz of breast milk (fyi that's a big freaking deal when you've only had breast milk for 5 days), Charlee pooping with no diaper on (I didn't take a pic of this, your welcome!) and some tummy time.

 
 

My sister had a small get together on the 5th to celebrate the 4th. We had such shitty weather on Friday with the tropical storm, roads were closed due to flooding and we had high wind advisories. 
On Saturday we packed up and headed over to her house. My contribution was 2 boxes of prepared Suddenly Salad. Seriously a life save if you are headed somewhere and need something to bring. Cut up some fresh veggies and it looks like you made it from scratch! 
I had already bought Charlee's 4th of July out fit a month ago at Target! I couldn't resist. She's miss wiggles during photos, hence the blurry hands.



We also got our new corn hole boards just in time for the fourth. These bad boys are straight legal corn hole boards. They are freaking huge!!!! Josh got them on Etsy. I contacted the owner to see if I could get you readers 10% off but no bueno.

I also have a new found love called The Solly Baby Wrap. This wrap is seriously amazing for new moms with newborns who need skin to skin contact all of the time. I can do laundry, sweep, do my makeup etc with this thing on. It's a life saver.
 
 
As you can clearly tell, I wore this thing all weekend!!!

And our Sunday consisted of cuddle girl time and naps. Josh went out with one of his friends for the day so Charlee and I had some quality mommy and me time. 

I hope you all had a great fourth of July and long weekend!!!! Happy Monday!

  1. New reader! I am on the brink of getting knocked up and found your "after birth" photos on IG. Your fitness lifestyle and pregnancy are very inspiring. I hope I can keep a good routine as well! Happy week mama!

  2. Great pictures! :) I've been eyeballing the Solly baby wrap for awhile. I might have to invest! To get it wrapped around you to keep baby snug...does it feel like you're wearing a corset?

  3. You can't post too many pictures of Charlee. I love how you spell her nickname!! Side note: Are your sandals from Old Navy? If they are, I have them and I love them. Anyway, you're a beautiful mother to a beautiful baby and your whole family is just beautiful and I love seeing all the pictures!!!
