Baby, Baby!
As mentioned last week, I went and had our sweet Miss Camryn last Wednesday. She is beyond precious and although the chaos of life with four little boys and now a little girl has not ended, we are absolutely eating up our time with a cuddly, snuggly, sweet-smelling newborn.
Because I am spending eternal amounts of time parked on the couch feeding the babe and simultaneously attempting to read books and give the dudes their allotment of attention, I will be checked out of blogging – hit and miss here and there – for a bit. But I wanted to let you all know that while I may be a little slow in answering comments and questions, I am nothing if not prepared, and I worked around the clock before Camryn arrived to post recipes regularly for you – all of which are currently prescheduled and waiting in queue for your viewing pleasure. And I have to say there are some doozies coming up. So while I may be in and out of blogging for awhile, continue to enjoy the recipes that will be automatically posting and know I’ll be back in the saddle again soon.
But really, can you blame me for temporarily abandoning you for this?
Love your guts…all of you! Thanks for your support.
Congrats! So happy for you!
Absolutely gorgeous! CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations on your precious baby girl! I’m sure you were ready for another female in the family after four boys-lol! What a blessing–enjoy your time with her while she’s tiny, you know all too well how fast they grow up. Congrats again!
Oh how kissable those cheeks look! BIG congratulations to your sweet family Thanks for all you do for us and share with us. WE sure do love your guts, too! Enjoy every minute with your little Angel.
Oh my, she is SOOO darling! I just want to snuggle those chubby little cheeks! And are you kidding me with all that hair? SO CUTE!
P.S. I’ve heard if you lay them on a silk blanket it will make is so they don’t rub their hair off and get a bald spot!…hey, it’s worth a shot huh? π
So so precious! Welcome to the world Camryn! What most of us readers would do to be able to spend one day in your household with your family and your mommy. Her food inspires us all to live better! Enjoy that sweet precious baby love!
Congratulations! I’m sure your boys are thrilled (they were right after all!). So glad to hear you’re taking some time off and will continue to gobble up the recipes posted in the meantime!
There is seriously nothing like the first couple of weeks home with a newborn. I love it. The Spirit is so strong as you meet & get to know this precious little gift from Heaven. Its my favorite time of life, ever. So special. Enjoy! xo
Congrats!!!!! she is absolutely adorable π
Congrats Mel – and family! A huge welcome to Camryn too! All of you – Blessed Be.
Those pictures actually make me consider another one! She is SO incredibly precious! Enjoy your time with her!
Congratulations! She’s a doll. I love your blog and cook delicious things all the time thanks for you! Take as much time as you need to be with your family. Best wishes!
congrats! I bet you can’t wait to dress her up!
She is GORGEOUS! Yes, take good care of her! Newborns are time consuming but enjoy every precious moment!
Congratulations!! What a sweet angel. Enjoy being on cloud nine!!
She is such a cute, chubby baby!! How much did she weigh? Those cheeks make her look so grown up and well fed already! Thanks for posting pictures, she is darling!! Enjoy your break from blogging..you deserve it! Just enjoy her, they grow way too fast π Glad everything went well!
Your baby is adorable. Take time to be with your family. This time is soooo precious!
I wouldn’t get anything done with that precious angel in my house. She is so beautiful, with perfect little round features, and that hair! Enjoy her. May is a slacker month for cooking anyway, it’s sooooo dang busy!
Congrats. I am the youngest of 5 and the only girl. I have 4 brothers and I loved it. You will love having a girl.
Enjoy that time with her — she’s absolutely precious & I love the name π
Congrats again, Mel!
She is an absolute princess. I love, love, love her hair! π Please take your time in getting back to blogging……she is worth more than new recipes. But with that said, I’ll miss your posts. I’m a regular MWF blog checker! π
Mel- We love your guts too! So happy for you and definitely don’t begrudge you spending time with your kids, especially your new little cutie who needs Mama so much. I am expecting my first girl after 3 boys in a couple of months and I am so excited and overwhelmed with all the preparations. Thank you for taking all that time before baby to keep your blog fresh, really you have so many great recipes from the past that I haven’t gotten to yet that I would be fine with recaps. Enjoy your new baby girl & your big boys!

She is absolutely adorable! Congrats on your new addition!
So adorable little girl! Congrats!
Congrats! She is so precious! Enjoy your special time with her!
Congratulations! Hooray for baby girls! Hope you are resting up and managing well. It’s a whirlwind! (My baby girl, after two boys, is two months old…I’m still adjusting!) I was sure you would have planned ahead and pre-posted some recipes, but you didn’t have to. There’s no chance you’re losing my interest in your wonderful blog!
Congratulations!! She is beautiful. My baby #4 just turned 1 (a whole month ago!) and even though I held her for about 90% of the year, it went by too fast. Keep snuggling her!! Thanks for all the great recipes. I rarely comment (if ever??), but you are on my reader and I love the posts.
She is adorable! Congrats Mel!
Adorable sweet new baby! Of course you are loving your time with her. Now if only we could make some of your recipes to bring over to your house, so you can rest and enjoy Camryn and “the boys”.
Blessings to all of you! Cathy
Her cheeks!! I just love her cheeks! π Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl.
What an adorable little bundle! Congratulations to all of you.
Congrats!! Enjoy this WONDERFUL time with that new baby girl. I love your blog and you seem like a fabulous Mommy. π
Abandon away!! She is so precious, I’m not sure you’ll ever be able to make it back, but I hope you do! Enjoy your time with the new addition and those cute boys, too!
Holy Cheeks, Mel! I love me some chunky babies! And by the way, showering everyday by 9am is totally overrated. Enjoy your little babe.
Congratulations! She’s precious. I’ve got about a month to go with my 2nd, this is going to make me more impatient to see mine (we don’t know the gender)!
Baha, THE CHEEKS!
I love her I love her I love her.
Yay she’s here! What a sweetie! Congrats! After three boys… we got TWO little girls! So different from raising boys. π Enjoy her every minute… they grow so fast! π
Oh, just a heads up: I attended Women’s Conf @ BYU last week and in the dinning in/meal planning class the presenter recommended your blog… so you should have about 1000 new readers. π I was like: “Yes, she’s awesome! Go read her blog!” Thanks for all your hard work! Love your recipes!
oh mel, shes beautiful! sorry ive neglected our emails. without bogging you down with my issues as part of this should be purely congratulatory comment, harris’ surgery got canceled in lieu of 4 times a week therapy and it has been my whole life. i’m so happy camryn is here safe and sound and hope you are all doing well. let’s catch up soon.
She is so precious! Congratulations on your sweet baby girl. She’s going to have some great big brothers to protect her π
Congratulations, Mel. She is beautiful. You are amazing to have thought of all of us while nesting and awaiting her arrival by putting posts in the queue. It sounds like you are soaking up all the goodness of this sweet time–you deserve every second. Don’t give a second thought to your fans; just know that we will be here when you are back up-and-at-em, even if the prescheduled recipes run out. You are my favorite blog and I don’t want you burning out!! Best wishes for peace, rest, and patience with yourself over the coming year. π
Congratulations!
Congrats!!! She is so precious!! As much as I love your blog I don’t blame you and take all the time you need! You defiantly can’t get that time back! Congrats again to you and your sweet family!
Congratulations to you!
Congrats again to you and your family! Camryn is beautiful and of course you deserve time to spend with her and your family. Enjoy these precious moments while she is still small. Look forward to seeing all the recipes you have been working hard and cooking up and preparing for the upcoming weeks.
I too had a group of boys and then a sweet little girl. We called her our “beautiful bundle of pink perfection!” She has added so much to our home…enjoy every moment of your beautiful baby girl.
