Pre baby blog update on baby

https://prebabyblog.com/2012/02/introducing-alexis/ Sorry, on phone so no clicky link. I think that is the most normal she's ever seemed. I'm happy for her

Ditto on the normal.  I just read it.

I agree. Its also nice to see pictures of them without looking completely photoshopped. You can see her freckles/blemishes in some, and her husband doesn't have his Ken doll hair in all the photos.

I think it's sweet!  Hubster creeps me out still, but they look happy in the pics.

She maybe way self-absorbed, but she really is beautiful.  And the baby is presh. 

Yodajo

I agree that it is a normal sounding and sweet post.  Maybe motherhood with mellow her out?

That said, this made me laugh:

" She?s got mommy?s lips, ears, eyes and hair, daddy?s perfect eyebrows and possibly nose."

At least she has his eyebrows.  The jury's out on the nose.

The gushing over the baby is normal, but it seems like she is spending a lot of time justifying or making "I told you so" points about stuff people have said to her, like what she did or did not use from her hospital bag, pads, etc.

 

Guess the no pacifier thing went out the window...

I thought the exact same thing and found it super irritating. She sucks but I'm still happy for them. The baby is so cute!!!

I thought that was funny too. The baby is adorable!

I noticed the pacifier and the baby is in disposable diapers too, isn't she? 

BubblyToes

Is it really that horrible that she had an easy birth and recovery so far?  She looks like she takes care of her self and is in shape, so I'm sure that goes a long way inn the process.

After the the horrible things people have said to her on FB and her blog, who can blame her for feeling like she has to justify things?

Like someone said, she's self absorbed, but people have been awful to her.

I also noticed that the 'no disposable diapers' and 'no pacifier' thing seems to have gone out the window.

I don't have a whole lot of whatever for someone who posts crap like this one one of her self-serving blogs:

Jodi&Joe

Why is it that we all wished we loved ourselves?  Felt we were beautiful?  We try to encourage our daughters to feel beautiful - inside and out.  To hold her head high.  To feel secure and comfortable in her own skin. 

Then we find someone who portrays all of that and she is self absorbed and annoying?!

Eff that noise!  Good for her.  She is beautiful.  She takes care of herself.  She is a wee bit (ok, quite a bit) annoying however how much of that is because WE are not used to someone being so confident in themselves?  It's not about her.  We make it about her - by deflecting.  But it's really about us.  And honestly, I don't like "us" in this scenario.

So what she stages photos at a flower market?  Sure, it's a bit over the top.  But she has some freaking amazing photos of herself and her husband in some pretty cool freaking spots.  I'm a bit jealous actually. 

So what she wore a white striped dress home from the hospital?  She actually wore it well.  I don't care what it looked like from the back.  From the front, she looked like a very in shape momma who just delivered a baby - good for her.

So what the kid was screaming in the car seat?  While my pics aren't as elaborate as hers - I can guarantee you that 90% of us have a pic of us leaving the hospital with a baby screaming in the car seat.  It's what they do when they are that size and put in the damn bucket.  They want momma.  (I lie - Joey and Cam were sleeping in their car seats but had they been awake, I can guarantee they likely would have been crying)!

The hate on this woman is mob mentality and quite disgusting.  All because she is vain and posts about it on the internet.  I'll stick to the "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all!"

Exactly!  The update makes them seem actually normal and more relate-able.

Bride2b2004

Don't follow her at all.  This was my first time looking at the blog.  The baby is adorable.  How in the world does she have such amazing photos?  Is she a photographer?  I want one of those cameras... wonder what it is...

ghm

I've enjoyed laughing at stuff, too, but obviously a lot of people take it too far. Avoiding everyone who could turn your in utero fetus gay? So weird. Having an easy recovery isn't that weird. I never wore mesh panties or ice packs. I walked down the stairs two hours after maile was born and are supper in a woden chair ay the table. I also understand the need for the told you so post. I still think the dress is funny, but she pulled it off.

rebs

Whatevs- I cannot stomach how self absorbed and fake she is so I have stopped looking. However if she doesn't like comments people make perhaps she should stop putting her whole life on the internet for strangers to see. IMO she loves the attention.

I am just wondering about all the hate for the mesh panties- I loved them! So comfy.

I personally don't find her super beauitful but she really is just the opposite of "my type" so I am sure that has a lot to do with it. I do hope that things go as smoothly as possible because it seems like she has a hard time with things not being just so in her life. I cannot fathom wanting or needing so many pics of myself but I always look like sh!t in pics so maybe that has something to do with it. And the last thing I'll say is that her personality (homophobic, self absorbed, know-it-all) is not something I admire or feel I would want for myself or DD. I'm hoping DD has a little more depth and while I hope she has a healthy self esteem about her appearance I hope it's not obsessive.

Jodi&Joe

Feel I need to justify -- I have read/seen very little of her blog. Actually, most of what I have seen is the bashing of her, and whatever pic is associated with that.  So I guess I shouldn't speak out of turn with my post and should read some of what she wrote first!

All I know is that baby gives me serious baby fever (as if I didn't have it already). My kids both had that full head of dark hair. *sigh*

cristiana

Her baby is seriously adorable. Those squishy newborn pictures almost gave me baby fever, and I am beyond done. I didn't read the post beyond her describing her recovery  as magical, lol.

This is what I was thinking.  I haven't kept up with all the comments, but the facebook posts about the dress seemed really mean.  And actually, with a c-section, a snug dress that kept the loose stuff flapping around helped with the pain a lot.
