I think this baby (10 months!) will end up Zibby...? I call her Lizzy sometimes, too, and I still like Roo. But I thought maybe she'd be a Bess and she's just not mellow enough for that. She's too beam-y!Katherine Grimm Bowershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14392225320396416098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-57248545882170449662018-09-01T17:26:56.111-04:002018-09-01T17:26:56.111-04:00I feel you Mama.

I've kept myself from reading too many of the evil details and have had to consciously build up somewhat of an emotional and mental wall to keep from entering into something that wouldn't be healthy for me right now. Thank you for being in tune with that and the prayers!

I usually have to go into hibernation for awhile to keep my sanity. It's like I just brought this new, completely helpless person into the world whom I love so fiercely, and I need to be reassured that this child will be safe in it. I have been praying for you and other postpartum mamas in a special way, especially with the news of the grand jury report coming out so soon after you've given birth.

I saw the instagram picture of your 6 boys and thought, Wow! 6 boys! and then realized that I have 6 girls and that my kids looked like that at one point as well - all in a row (I also have 3 boys). :) I need to find t-shirts like that even though most of them are grown up (they will no doubt think I'm crazy).<br />How wonderful to consecrate your children/marriage/lives to our Lady. So beautiful. <br />We are a nick-namey family as well. Sometimes it happens when they are first born but with other ones, it takes time and doesn't develop until their toddler years. <br />God bless your healing process post partum. It's not easy to purposefully stop yourself and rest in order to heal. It's easy to just jump back into the swing of things because you feel the need to. It looks like you have help available to you so take advantage. Plus it's wonderful to just have "hands full of baby" (when they are sleeping peacefully) to stop and breathe. They grow up faster than we all realize. I am already at the point of having "hands full of grandbabies". :)Mariteshttps://momdeavor.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640846201971673514.post-26719437449026432932018-08-27T16:09:06.703-04:002018-08-27T16:09:06.703-04:00Particularly loved the Baptismal photos. and oh my...Particularly loved the Baptismal photos. and oh my what excitement, Confirmation and Baptism all on the one day!!!

Yes to the awkwardness of new baby names-- our John Paul was supposed to be nicknamed "Jack", birth announcement and all, but we just couldn't get used to it and he's still John Paul. ;) Also, that baby scapular onesie!!! <3 <3 <br /><br />Prayers for you as you continue to recover. I wish we could all just call postpartum a 6 month time frame...instead of people expecting it to be all over at six weeks! Sheesh.
