one.
so, sorry i've neglected the blogosphere as of late... there's something about having a newborn that makes me want to enter a cocoon and just soak up every minute with her and my little guy... these baby days aren't going to last forever and i want to cherish every moment. even the sleepless nights. there's such a beauty in all of the fatigue... knowing that you're beginning to shape your child's life... what a great responsibility and blessing.

i think referencing the toilet as an oval office is awesome. thank you clorox (or lysol; one of the two) commercial for bringing this to my attention.
three.
i hardly watch tv. i don't have any shows (except for the office) that are must sees. until now. i'm loving the next food network star and design star. i even watch reruns of the episodes... several times.
four.
confession: yesterday i knowingly walked around with poop squirts all over my shirt. and shorts. hey, it's only newborn poop; it's not that nasty. plus, the post prego frump only affords a small variety of outfit selections.

had to laugh at the newborn poop thing. i used to tell my husband all the time, it's just baby pee! he didn't buy it as being less nasty. guess it's a mama thing ;) glad you are doing well!
OK I just laughed right out loud at the poop squirts! You are Ha-larious....
No need for apologies deary we all know you have your hands pleasantly full at the moment and with two precious babies the last thing on your mind is the blogosphere....We all love ya and will be here when ya return deary :0)
Ooooh I saw that commercial too and I can't rememeber if it was Lysol or Clorox but it was funny to refer to it as the Oval Office pure genius I tell ya!
How are you feeling deary? Are you feeling better after the C-Section?

SUmmer
I loooove Food Network Star and Design Star! I wish I half as talented!
And the poop squirt story...nasty and hilarious at the same time!
How is the little cutie, Hunter, dealing with his new responsibilities as a big brother?!
You just soak up these days. I wish I could bottle some of those early days and save them -- they are so special.
LOL- about the poop. I feel like I always have some remnant of my kids on me -- spit-up, jelly, sand, marker, etc... it's there.
Love those shows. Thank goodness for The Food Network and HGtv.
Rest now. I hope you are feeling well.

I definitely just cracked up laughing at the poop squirts...not just the fact that you were wearing it, but the fact that you called it squirts! I know I get excited if my outfit doesn't have some form of crustiness on it...I'm just so used to it now!
It sounds like you're enjoying being a mom x2! I know it has to be sleepless, but like you said-it's all worth it in the end! Take care!
Oh my goodness, the oval office commercial is hilarious!! and the poo thing made me literally laugh out loud. Hope yall are doing ok!!
I'm so exciting to be participating in my first Micellany Monday. You are just quite the gal and I'm glad that I found your blog. You are so right, these days will fly by and your precious ones will be grown and gone. Blessings to you!
Oh my gosh I love those two shows! Enjoy the new baby.
So glad you're enjoying time with your littles~ I miss those snuggly newborn days! And nobody will fault you on your attire...
I would totally watch Food network constantly if we had cable (which is why we don't!). I take the opportunity to use it a the gym and drool over all the stuff they make while sweating to death. Have a great day!
I love Office too...Such a great show..and I would not worry about having a poop on your top...Its fine....Enjoy my darling your little angels and see you soon:)
Muah and have a great day!
You're totally right in ignoring the blogosphere and TV - enjoy your little precious blessings!! Glad you're treasuring them!
BTW, Newborn BMs do not count as being stinky or gross in my book! :)
I'm just catching up on posts from the last few days and ....WOW!!! She is BEAUTIFUL!!! What a lovely family you have. You are indeed BLESSED! I love the pic you posted of you holding Sage in the hospital bed and your hubs standing next to you....pure bliss. :) God bless you all!
I'm just so excited about Sage! I'm sure nobody blames you for staying away because of your TWO babes! :) God has truly blessed you!
The Office is my must see show as well. I'm totally addicted. "It's only newborn poop" Hysterical. I love it! Many blessings to you and your family!
#2-I love that commercial! My hubby has tried to memorize it (which is ridiculous) but sadly cannot!
And sorry about the poop squirts but it all comes with the territory, right?!
Don't feel at all bad about being away---you are doing something MUCH more important : ) Take care of those sweet little babes!
i love design star! watched as much as i could during last night premiere, but thankfully my parents tivo'd it and i'll be there this weekend to watch it in full.
so happy to hear you basking in the wonders of newborness, again! such a blessing!
Good for you girl, Just take it all in enjoy every second with those precious babies!! You are blessed indeed :)
Wear your poop squirts like a badge of honor - it means you're blessed : ) congrats on your newest family member! btw love those shows too!
#4 is completely cracking me up right now!!! haha love it!!
I think you have every right to soak up all the moments with your little ones and be as absent as you want to the blog world!:P I know when Tucker gets here I will be MIA for awhile!! :)
Poop squirts...you are too funny! I am sure you are soaking up each and every minutes of those babies. They do grow so fast!!! Jamison loves the next food star..she loves cooking. I wish I didn't have that many shows...
Ah the glamorous months after pregnancy. We've all been there. I can just see you in all your glory...tucked in with your sweet little ones, comfortable in your sweats...popcorn in hand watching reruns. Oh the good ol' days;)
I've worn clothing with poop squirts, spit up, pee stains, you name it. I so miss those newborn days. Take it all in. They grow so fast. Hope you are feeling well!
hahahah I love the poop one :) & the oval office one!! You just sit back and enjoy your baby girl and little boy!
don't apologize for neglecting us for your baby! Puhleeze. I'd pick babies over blogging any day...no offense to all my blog buddies, of course. :)
And I love The Office. LOVE it.
Hope everything is going swimmingly with the little ones!
hahah you are tooooo funny! i love anything food network...i have the 1st two episodes of Next Food Network star on my dvr to watch tonight:-) (I also tivoed the Cupcake Wars.)
Hahahaha... newborn poop. Honestly I would probably do the same. :) I've heard the next food network star is so good...I might have to start watching that too (like i need to add more shows to my list). Soak up as much time as you possibly can!!! :) Have a great Monday!!!
I LOVE Next Food Network Star! So fun to find someone else like me!
I hope you and Sage are doing well, Carissa!
Love in Christ,
Lizzy
Carissa, glad I found your blog! I giggled at the poop squirt outfit, LOL...I totally remember that feeling about limited clothing (especially clean nursing bras!) :)
Blessings!
You're so funny, lol. I love coming over here and reading your misc. mondays!!! PS...more pics when you get a second...what do you say mamma! ;0) Love ya!
You're a food network and design star girl too?! Those are staple shows at our home! We missed the first design star, but who are you rooting for the foodie star? I'm really liking Aria...:-)
Frump? Pshaw...I'm sure you look great. :-)

Hi Carissa! So glad you and the babes are doing well! I love the OVAL OFFICE!!! I will be added this to my toilet references from now on, too funny!
enjoy those beautiful babies of yours!
hahahaha I feel the saaame way about my post prego frump, bring on the newborn poop!
I love The Office as well, I mean how could anyone not!
ohhh i can never get enough of the food network and hgtv! i love watching about food and drooling and looking at design and wishing i could do the same to my house! no worries about being MIA, you should definitely enjoy the newborn time with sage!! thanks for letting me link up!
Just had to check in. Again you make me laugh. That's a good thing for Monday as I have the whole week ahead of me and why not start it with a laugh? Poop squirts will wash out, so no fear. Blog friend will wait, but babies wont. Tv show keep changing so I never get hooked on them. Grandpa loves the food net work but I'm to busy cooking to even watch it. Love you and have a wonderful day with your babies.
I remember walking around with newborn poop on me. it's almost inevitable in those first few weeks! I completely missed your giving birth! going to have to go back and read the posts from when I was gone! congrats!!! :)
Enjoy that sweet newborn time with Sage (even the poo)! I have no idea how you are finding time to blog at all!
eew poop squirts!! haha
Hehe poop squirts. So aptly named. Enjoy them as only a mom can! And I totally second Food Network :)
To be a new momma! Heehee!
My first time linking up.. thank you :)
Lol @ the poop squirts. That is so me.. poop, pee, vomit.. I don't care!
I guess the poop is inevitable! lol. OOoh I'm so with you on the next food network star. I dvr them so I can skip the commercials :)
Totally hear you on the poop thing! No explanation needed!
Too funny though! I love the "Oval Office"
I should make a sign!!! :)
I just watched Design Star yesterday and I am so excited that there is something good to watch on tv this summer! I love your confession:) I'm sure at some point when at least one of mine where little, I did the exact same thing!
No hurry to get back in full swing in the Bloggy World. We'll be here waiting for you when you're ready. Enjoy that little girl ... these days will be gone too soon.
:) :) :)
