This. Is. Breathtaking.

You may be a complete stranger, but I have to say that despite your exhaustion, you did good here. Any woman on her way to having a first, second, third, and so on, should read this post. And those of us, like myself, who had our first 10 months ago should read this post.

Thank you.

If only I could zap you into the future so that you could see how much you are going to rock this whole mama thing! With four of my own (all boys) I can honestly say that the very beginning is hard, but then it levels out, you find your groove, and you enjoy all of those amazing moments. Be kind to yourself - sleep deprivation is a wicked thing and there are times when you can't be held

Wow. The breath of a newborn. I love that sweet scent and the little gasps. My baby is five now (girl after two boys- the first of whom was born July 9th!), and I can feel your current space like it was yesterday, but also like it was forever ago. I was worried that I wouldn't love the second or third like the first, but isn't it amazing- the heart's capacity for love? You may

You're back! Yay! I can't imagine the transition to two. I'm sure it's amazing and just utterly hard. Congrats to the whole family!!

SO so sweet. Congratulations over and over.

The love you have for your boys truly jumps off the page. That's precisely what will pull you through the more difficult and sleep deprived moments.

Thanks for sharing such an honest and heartfelt post.

Congrats!

I breathed in every precious word you wrote. I love you so much sweet friend. You are a beautiful soul and Ross, Henry and Conrad are the luckiest boys in the world to be loved so completely by you. I wish I were closer to come over and have coffee with you, clean up, hold Conrad or just talk.

Oh...I was just checking to see if you were back and here is this post that makes me cry! It is so sweet and filled with so much love and honesty...it takes me back to when I had my second and that first time when you have both babies in your arms...even if one was four, they are still your babies. Hope you get some sleep.

I'm a fairly new reader to your blog, and I kept checking in to see any posts of your new little one. Congrats, he is so beautiful.

Oh, how I remember those first few zombie months with a newborn. Before long they will only be a happy memories, because you will have forgotten all the sleepless nights and baby blues, and remember how sweet it felt to hold such a darling little

Oh Alexis! Your words perfectly captured that first month...whew! two IS hard - still trying to wrap my brain around it all 4 months in...I'm pretty sure it gets easier though, right? ;) So good to hear from you lady as I have though of you often!!

2011-08-10T08:24:07.702-07:00

Congratulations!! Conrad is perfect! You just went through the most amazingly important and difficult feat imaginable.... I have three little ones, but I always tell people the transition from 1 to 2 kids was harder than 2 to 3. There was/is so much juggling involved that I wasn't used to. Hang in there. You will find your groove. :-)

2011-08-10T05:34:11.920-07:00

Oh how I have missed your posts, but I didn't realize just how much until I saw your photos (your style is so organic and comforting) and then I read your words. You have such a way with words. I read this post last night, but needed a day to absorb all that you shared and the beauty of your honesty. I still can't properly formulate what I want to say. This post is beautiful to the

2011-08-09T23:25:31.769-07:00

Alexis, It was so great hanging out the other day and meeting Mr. Conrad. He's absolutely perfect!
Art and I drove by your house today on our way to seaside market. If only I had a dollar every time he say's " Is that Alexis's house? How's she doing? How's the baby?"
Seriously......every time we drive by!
I'd be one hell of a rich woman.

2011-08-09T22:37:54.515-07:00

I am happy to see you back here. Your post had me teary eyed. Ok, I will be honest, I was downright crying when I read it...I am at a stage when we are contemplating number 2 and, honestly, I just don't know if I can do it. I look at my son and never want an ounce of the love I have for him to go away or be shared. But, i also want him to have a little buddy and someone to complain with

2011-08-09T21:53:14.519-07:00

Alexis, I've missed your posts too much! What beautiful snuggly photos. My first memory of my little brother is of him holding my finger like that when I was holding him right after he was born at the hospital. I was 4 years old. You are in such a special time and it appears that you are doing marvelously. I don't think a mother alive can say that it's easy. If it looks like it
