quick, someone slap me.

thought mayhaps a 2009 photo post was in order. i thought i could pick some cuties from the year, put them in order and share them with you, the fine interwebs. but alas, i have no patience, i am still tired from christmas, and OH YEAH, i tried and failed because i cried going through photos from 2009.
did you know i started the year with a 2 month old? a two month old. like, at this time last year it had only been 8 weeks since i graced the world with Harper’s presence (you’re welcome!). i was still sporting maternity jeans, gratuitously using nipple cream and probably still shaking cans of dermoplast (my bsff – best spray friend forever). looking through the photos made me want to do the unthinkable : immediately get pregnant again. like yesterday. like, i need to cuddle a tiny freshly baked wrinkly-leg-skinned newborn NOW. i give to you the following photographic evidence as the culprits for said fever breaking out:
the 6 hours after birth photo
i mean, look you guys! i did this. i can do it again, right? i made that little human and then pushed her out. nevermind my meatslab arms and 6 chins, they went away eventually and they will again! pay no mind that my lady parts were throbbing, that nursing bra was rubbing uncomfortably against my bleeding nipples and i was only sleeping because of ambien, I SHOULD HAVE ANOTHER BABY because look at her!
the daddy and baby napping photo
ok seriously? come on. if i squeed any louder i might squee right off a bridge. tiny sleeping babeh + handsome man you married + both sleeping peacefully = makes me want to cry. sidenote: these 2 photos might have been the only actual 2 times we slept.
the stripey dipey baby bum/tiny curled toes photo
oh hail no. you can’t expect anyone with ovaries to look at this and not want to immediately get impregnated. what are you doing baby feet? oh, just being tiny and fat and curly? and hey you, baby bum – who do you think you are? oh, just a stripey cushy little tushy? ok, carry on.
stupid idiot not-cute-at-all baby hat photo
warning : do not look directly at this photo. when i did, i got the sudden urge to eat celery, buy a huge bottle of cocoabutter and map out all baskin robins locations within a 10 mile radius in order to be prepared for pregnancy numero dos. the combination of weird monster-animal shirt, sweater hat with ears and braided flaps, and doe-eyed nugget will have you running to rite-aid to pick up some ovulation kits at 1am. danger danger danger.
operation 2009 photo post = fail. NOT going to happen. not only is my blog not big enough for all the adorable photos i’d need to use to celebrate the year that was, i just don’t think it would be appropriate for my husband to wake up to me making a necklace of Harper’s baby booties or poking holes in things i shouldn’t be. just not a good end to the year, you know?

proudly sporting my super mama cape since 2008. i like to craft, eat noodles, tweet like mad, and long for more time with my handsome husband. i'm simply trying to navigate through the early years and come out on the other side with a kid who doesn't repeat words i use in the car. wish me luck.

OMG ha. I WAS heading to bed but your post popped up and I just had to read it NOW. And then the hubs caught me laughing out loud at the computer, and asked me what was funny, and I tried to explain it but he’s a man. So he looked at me funny and went back to his shooty stabby video game that he keeps swearing at.
Regardless, thanks for Harper’s cuteness, and your awesome hilarious blogging…as always

Just FYI, today I signed my paperwork for getting my tubes tied. JUST SO I WON’T get back into this situation!!! Otherwise, I’d be pregnant AGAIN in like 6 months. Which, we can all agree is a bad idea.

Oh the Dermoplast! What a flippin LIFESAVER! (That and the inflatable donut ring that my favorite nurse gave me on the downlow.) Although I’ve never needed it before pushing out a small human, I totally still have my hospital-issued can because it was THAT awesome.

yeah, i blasted through my hospital-issued can. next time i’m buying stock in the stuff. and giving rite-aid a heads up a few weeks before i go into labor. also? i’m fairly certain you are not supposed to use it for more than a week or something. raise your hand if you don’t care! ::handair::

Now I’m curious. Going to google “dermoplast” and see what all the fuss is!

is there something that made your c-section incision feel better on contact? (i’m guessing no, but who knows. maybe a shot of rum or something). dermaplast is like a cooling spray anesthetic that you coat your bits in after the 30 minute process of peeing has commenced. but i’m sure google told you that, word for word.

Um, I about fell off my chair at “30 minute process of peeing.”
What made my c-section incision feel better on contact was a nice cocktail of vicodin and percoset!

Hi! This particular post made me want to come out of lurk-dom.
I’ve been reading your blog for a few months – you’re hilarious! And Harper is one cute babe. I’m a SAHM to an 18-month-old girl and can relate to many of your posts. Keep up the good work! Happy 2010.

I found your blog on top baby blogs this morning and have spend my morning reading it as my (also 14 month old) twins are playing. I came across this photo of Harper in her hat and had to laugh because I dressed my girl Scout in the SAME hat AND outfit!!! HOW FUNNY!?
SOOOO Cute
Now I am off to search if I have a photo of my girl in her hat!!
