Yesterday was the day people wrote touching stories about how they looked at their child and fell in love with him/her the instant it was born.
I did not feel that way.
When the doctor held her up, I didn’t think “I’m so glad Sesame is a girl” or “I love her so much”. I looked at her and thought “She looks just like Tom Carl.” Tom Carl is a boy I’ve known since I was born and hadn’t thought about for months, yet suddenly he popped into my head in the operating room. I didn’t remember having dated Tom and certainly didn’t remember marrying him but my child looked like him. My medicated self was so confused.
We did the baby dedication at church yesterday morning. The fact that I WILLINGLY SIGNED UP for an event that required me to stand in front of people proves that I have officially lost my mind. I was worried that I’d fall down the stairs or the baby would pull down the top of my dress but neither happened, hallelujah praise the Lord. Some people (looking at you, Alaska Sarah) pointed out that I didn’t smile while I was up there but there’s no way that was going to happen. We can only expect so many miracles on a Sunday morning. I hoped no one would be looking at me when they could be looking at a cute baby in her signature blue bow.
Annabelle and I wore matching dresses. I’m going to take advantage of matching with her while I can.
She really liked that we were matchy-matchy. Look at the enthusiasm!

Beautiful mother and baby girl! 🙂 Love the dresses.
AWWWWW you two look great!! Happy first Mother's Day, friend!
Aww man, I miss putting my daughter in cute little dresses. Although, 6 years later I can still pull off matchy matchy so thank goodness for that!
And Don't worry, I think Annabelle looks like your husband! 😉
So cute. Love the photo of y'all matching! And I got her birth announcement in the mail! Some folks here were a bit confused as to why you replaced them with a smaller model with less head control, but I'm trying to explain it in words they'll understand. (Molly- "BEE-BEE!")
Just lock her in her room. That's what I'm going to do.
What are you going to do with your tile? Just display it or does it have a greater purpose?
Oh my gosh, this is hilarious. Tom Carl. I love it.
I can't get over that bottom picture. It's so precious.
