introducing, our sweet jossy b

I’m supposed to be sleeping right now. You know, sleep when the baby sleeps? That whole thing? Well, I totally would but it’s been killing me that I haven’t released at least ONE non-iphone photo of our sweet baby girl. So I downloaded my cards from our hospital stay and this one struck me this…

smoke signal from the hospital

So here I am, in my hospital bed. Jocelyn is dozing in her bassinet and John is off taking Miles home from a spirited visit to his little sister. The first day after my 3 AM c-section I was literally dozing off every 20 minutes or so and then it’s been a mixture of whirlwind…

This pregnancy has… Related Posts Plugin for WordPress, Blogger...

    Oh BETSY I am so excited for you this week!! So many thoughts your way. It cracks me up how alike John & Jason are…so zen and chill. Amy & I were talking about how excited we are that our three babies will all be BFF’s. πŸ™‚ Love you!!!!! PLEASE let me know if there is anything at all I can do for you when I’m home starting next weekend…anything at all!

  • Anne WoehnkerJuly 24, 2010 - 10:21 pm

    Best of luck to you, Betsy:) I’m looking forward to viewing photos of your new baby! Ummmm, that last photo of yourself you posted on this blog looks EXACTLY like Miles:)

  • jess@studio3zJuly 24, 2010 - 10:53 pm

    You’ve had such a beautiful pregnancy…what a BLESSING!! I loved the collage. I can’t wait for the lil’ one to get here!!! πŸ™‚

  • abbyJuly 24, 2010 - 11:53 pm

    I’m a fellow crazy curly head–and I’m sure you’ve got plenty of other things to think on but I thought I would share a wonderful line of products by Ouidad. Google it! They’re curl experts! Using their products totally changed my hair routine!

    i’m a big admirer of your work and love reading your blog! Wish you well-and can’t wait to see pictures of the baby!

  • Tiffany izattJuly 24, 2010 - 11:56 pm

    I love it. I love your thought written down. How fun. Thanks for sharing and here’s to happy pushing πŸ™‚

  • AmandaJuly 25, 2010 - 11:35 am

    Bless your family during this wonderful and amazing time Betsy! I’ve enjoyed reading about your family going back to diaper pin days…hope you don’t mind me having stuck around. πŸ˜‰ Beautiful photos! And the very fact that you recognize your Kate Gosselin side (how funny is that?!) indicates to me at least that it won’t be a long-lasting facet of your personality. =) Have fun embracing the zen and enjoying your final days as you prepare for the expansion of your family.

  • candisJuly 25, 2010 - 1:21 pm

    Betsy, you look fantastic! Wishing you and family all the best as little baby King makes her/his debut. πŸ™‚

    PS. Your curly hair is DIVINE!

  • AngelaJuly 25, 2010 - 2:42 pm

    I love your studio shots – the one of just your neck down is very high fashion to me! Cool. You weren’t trying to hide you beautiful curly hair, were you? πŸ™‚ Of course I’m another that likes your curly hair – being that I have STICK straight hair that won’t bend without a curling iron and lots of thermal spray! Your “crazy” post made me chuckle. Don’t be too hard on yourself. Looking forward to seeing what day King baby 2.0 arrives. God bless

  • Tira JJuly 25, 2010 - 7:02 pm

    What an exciting week it’s going to be in the King house! We will be praying for a wonderful delivery and a healthy baby.

  • AustynJuly 25, 2010 - 11:02 pm

    Betsy, you post about clothes for Miles made me laugh. I had envisioned my oldest in a “cute” boy outfit for our new family pic as a family of four, but he showed up with an orange t shirt from a dairy that he picked out nearly every day and a noodle necklace! But looking back, it makes me laugh and remember how much he loved it at the time. Best of luck with the transition to two kids. It is a wild but fun ride and there is nothing sweeter that seeing your first born as a big brother. It is the best! Austyn (friend of Liz)
