Old vs New

Pin It Now! I am just popping in to say a quick hello here - I have been MIA latley in a sea of swings, bouncy seats, jiggle walking and all around baby goodness.  Jonah is so cute as of late, lots of giggles and gummy smiles and one TOOTH - at 12 weeks eep!  I have lots of blog posts/projects planned in my head but the time that I actually have to sit down with my laptop is sporadic (new life) so it will have to wait for today. 

I also keep thinking about how dialogue would go between old me and new me:

Old me - I'm sure having a baby won't be that big of a change
New me - shut it

Old me - how hard can it be?  my current job is pretty hard - it must be about that hard
New me - you are so dumb, you are really dumb, for real.

Old me - I don't really get baby play dates - I mean babies don't really play do they?
New me - Thank God someone else who understands and we can just sit here and smile through bleary eyes to eachother - case in point - today I had lunch with my neighbour who is also home with her little ones - she was describing one of the kids in her daughters class to me and said she is O-D-D - I said "Oh you mean A.D.D?" and she said "No - o-d-d.....spell it" - and honestly it took me about 30 seconds to realize she meant odd and that O.D.D. wasn't a new illness that I had never heard of

Old me - Baby shoes are so CUTE!
New me - babies shoes can take a hike

I am (mostly) joking though - I do love this new life but it sure is different.  On a positive note I have done some scrapbooking of Baby J's first few days/weeks and I love the result - so glad I took up this hobby before he was here and am able to capture some of these great memories right from the start. 

Here are a few of the pages I did before Jonah got here - when it felt like I had been prego for forever:

Love that I captured how I had an insane nesting instinct...I also love how I thought it was so clever to arrange by size (new me thinks that is SO dumb and I should have just arranged by type of clothes from the get go - now I have 3 drawers of clothing - one for shirts, one for pants and one for sleepers). 

This journalling is from July but the pic is from a bit later - I still can't grasp that a BABY grew in there!

My baby shower was such a great day, so overhwelming!  Meag was due a week after me and ended up having Hudson before Jonah!

I did this one for last week's Studio Calico's Sunday Sketch blog challenge - but of course I missed the deadline to enter for a $5 gift card - I will get there one of these weeks though! (Again new life vs old)

I'll be back soon with more to share
