Welcome to the Myers family, Andrew James! 🙂
He arrived on Sunday, August 26th at 12:51am and we are SO GLAD to finally have HIM here with us! He came early, but he was right on time.
Mommy and baby are doing just fine. I look forward to sharing with you how everything went…but for now, I need time to rest and reflect.
Praise God from whom all blessings flow!
The idea of maternity leave sounds so funny to me….since I’m not going anywhere. Ha!! But, for the month of September, I am taking off. My sister is getting married on the 1st and I’m the Matron of Honor. I know life is going to be crazy for a while.
I thought that I’d have lots of posts written in advance and be able to take care of things that way – but then I decided to sorta disconnect for a while and focus on learning how to live with two children instead of one.
I will miss you all. We’ll still be on Facebook and we’ll give you baby updates via a few posts on the blog – sorry in advance for the gushing mama.
Don’t worry though!!! Humorous Homemaking will still be busy for the whole month. I’ve had several great blogging friends step up to the plate and agree to do posts for me. You’ll still be getting emails with great information and wonderful recipes.
Here are a few things you have to look forward to:
-Whole foods crock pot recipes
-A tutorial on how to make a menu board
-A guide on making a first aid kit for your car
-Truths behind the myth that kids cost a TON of money
Barry and I will be back on Monday, October 1st– a bit sleep deprived, but hoppin’ and ready to go!
melissa alder says
How beautiful. Now you have one of each. Congratulations 🙂 Praise God for His wonderful Blessings.
Stacy says
Every good and perfect gift is from the Father above! 🙂
Heather says
Way, way late! My google reader doesn’t update your blog often, but I wanted to say CONGRATS!!!! He is beautiful and we are so thrilled for you! Children are such a blessing.
Stacy says
Never too late! Thanks Heather! 🙂
Brandy says
He’s beautiful! Congratulations! 🙂
Stacy says
Thanks! 🙂 I was actually thinking the other day that when I need advice on boys, I’m totally coming to YOU! 🙂 🙂
Carly says
Beautiful baby boy! Congratulations! Having a boy will be tremendously different than a girl, but they are worth it!
Stacy says
SO worth it! 🙂
Christina says
Congratulations & God bless you and your newest addition! My daughter was born the same day at 1:52 pm!
Stacy says
Happy Birthday to her! 🙂
Danielle @More Than Four Walls says
Congratulations Stacy! I totally missed this post but I saw on FB. He’s adorable.
God Bless!
Stacy says
Thank you, Danielle! We think so too. 🙂
Suzanne says
Oh Stacy, congratulations! What a beautiful gift from God! You and Barry enjoy this wonderful time with your new son and gorgeous daughter! Sending many prayers and blessings your way! Thank you for giving so much of yourself by sharing all that you do on this blog!
Living in awe of Him,
Suzanne
Stacy says
Thank you for the wonderful well wishes, Suzanne! 🙂
Kate @ Modern Alternative Mama says
How in the world did I miss this?? I must have really not been paying attention last week. Congratulations on your sweet little boy! I hope you are enjoying your time snuggling him!
Stacy says
Immensely! 🙂
Debby says
congratulations
Stacy says
Thanks, Debby!
Linda says
I will miss you but I know you have your hands full.Getting rest is most important. Looks like *big sister* is ready to help. Congratulations to all of you!
Linda
Stacy says
She is rip roaring and ready to help! I hope it keeps up. 🙂
Sara Shay says
CONGRATS Stacy!!! I bet she is just loving him to death! So excited for you. Big sisters help keep those little brother’s in line.
Stacy says
🙂 She’s a mama at heart anyway.
Stacey says
OMIGOSH! I totally missed this post! *is ashamed*
He’s just adorable, guys! Congratulations! (And congrats to the new Big Sister too. I bet she’s over the moon!)
Transitioning from one child to a pair wasn’t too hard. Honestly the hardest part (for us anyway) was from two to three. Then you’re “outnumbered” when they all get fractious at once. ACK. But then after three, it’s really just MORE (of everything…especially laundry and dishes).
Here’s praying that Andrew sleeps and eats well, and there are few bumps in the road. Have a good “baby-cation” Stacy!
Stacy says
So far he’s a great sleeper and eater! Still praying that will continue. 🙂
Melissa S. says
Glad everything went well. Enjoy this month!!
Stacy says
It went better than we could have imagined!
Alisha Caudill says
Congratulations, boys are lots of fun. I should know since I’ve been blessed with two!!!
Stacy says
Double the fun!
Anne @ Quick and Easy Cheap and Healthy says
Congratulations!
Stacy says
Thank you, Anne!
Jessica says
And he’s adorable! Congratulations to all of you! 🙂
Stacy says
Thank you – we think so!
Jennifer S. says
Congratulations! He’s absolutely gorgeous. I’m sitting here crying – probably pregnancy hormones. 🙂 We expect to meet our 8th in about 4 months! NOTHING like a new baby – especially when he’s so beautiful. 🙂
Stacy says
Honey, I’ve been crying about 5 million times per day!
Shauna Scarborough says
Hi is ADORABLE!!!!! Congratulations! Enjoy your blessing!
Stacy says
Thank you, Shauna! 🙂
Rebecca says
Congratulations, Stacy and Barry! (And Annie, too!)
Stacy says
Yes, Annie too! 🙂
Christy, The Simple Homemaker says
How wonderful! He’s beautiful, and I love the name!
Stacy says
Thanks, Christy! Barry let me choose. 🙂
Shawna says
He is sooo beatiful!! By his pictures, he looks so calm, serene, and of course sweet! Babies like him make me wish I could have another baby. Congratulations!
Stacy says
He is very calm and laid back. 🙂 We’re enjoying his attitude.
Nada says
Stacy, could you please bottle that baby head’s smell and send it right over? We are fresh out, and this baby factory is closed!
Our first boy came 2 weeks early too! Now he’s 19 and 6’4″!!! (and definately no more baby smell)!!!!!
Enjoy the bounty of blessings our good Lord has poured out upon you!
Big virtual squeeze!
Stacy says
Thanks for the squeezes! 🙂 And yes, nothing like that fresh baby smell.
Christy says
Congratulations to you, Barry, and Annie!!! Little boys are so much fun. Praising the LORD for new life. <3
Stacy says
Yes, praise Him! 🙂
Christine says
Congratulations to you and your family with an addition of a handsome son.
Stacy says
And a wonderful addition he is! 🙂
Kasi says
Congratulations on your new little man! I’m so excited for you, to get to know this new little life. 🙂 Hope you have a wonderful “maternity leave” haha! 😀
Stacy says
Yeah….it’s almost a joke, right? 🙂
Sunshine says
Congratulations! How exciting! Please don’t forget to take care and think about yourself, your body did more work than the baby’s.:)
Stacy says
Thanks for the reminder – I need it….I tend to overdo it. 🙂
danielle says
Awww, congratulations and enjoy maternity leave!
Stacy says
We will!
Kasey says
You will do fine being a mother of two. When I had my son three weeks early, my daughter was 2 1/2. You will have family to help and when your son gets bigger they will both have a blast playing with eachother.
Stacy says
What’s funny is, I had more help with Annie. LOL It’s like “Oh…well, she’s a mom and she knows what to do now.” 🙂
Liseanne says
Happy birthday Andrew! Congratulations to all of you – he is beautiful. What a wonderful thing about the internet; having experienced this pregnancy from afar and meeting him virtually.
Stacy says
I know….it’s great, huh? 🙂
Linda Las Vegas says
CONGRATULATIONS on the new arrival MYERS FAMILY! (and as they say from here..’You hit the jackpot!) So glad you are taking time to rest, bond & enjoy this blessing from God. We know all the little precious moments will warm your hearts forever! A girl, now a boy…..a great beginning 🙂 ! LOVE & PRAYERS always, Linda & Dean
Stacy says
We like to keep the team even over here. 🙂
Amanda R says
ahhhhhhh! congratulations! He was born on my husbands birthday so he’ll just have to be awesome! I love my little boy, and in November (or so says the due date)we will add another handsome little man to our brood! Can’t wait to chat with you soon! Especially regarding those cloth diapers…
Stacy says
I’m not using mine yet, but I can’t wait! 🙂 For newborns, I just use Pampers…I’m too tired to deal with it at first. 😉
Patsy says
Congratulations Stacy. Andrew is a beautiful baby. I’m glad to know that
you are both doing well. I know how happy you must be. Looking forward to more pics. God bless you all.
Stacy says
🙂 Full of joy to overflowing!
Amber says
Congratulations, Stacy & Barry! (And big sister too!!) What a handsome little man! 🙂
Stacy says
🙂 Thanks, Amber!
Stacy Ann says

Congrats to you all! He’s beautiful, and boys are AWESOME! Trust me – I have 2! Not that girls don;t rock, too, but since we’re already girls, we know what THAT’S all about already!
Enjoy your time getting to know him and watching him be beautiful!
Stacy says
It’s nice to have an even score here now. 🙂
Jami Leigh says

Stacy says
You don’t need to worry about that! 🙂

Stacy says
She’s already on the road there! 🙂
Tracy says
Congratulations Stacy, Barry and Annie! Andrew is a beautiful baby! I have to tell you, I was playing the guessing game and figured it out… Once you posted a pic of Annie’s bedroom, I knew it was a boy. Then you posted a pic of Raggedy Ann and Andy, I knew his name was going to be Andrew. Thank you for taking us on this wonderful journey with you. Congratulations again and love to all!
Stacy says
🙂 Smart lady…I did give hints. His room is in Sunbonnet Sam. I’ll post a photo on FB sometime.

Stacy says
I will! 🙂
Theresa says
Congratulations! It takes about 6 weeks for the family to re-configure..Every Time You Add A New Child! (We have 8. I KNOW.) So give yourselves time to adjust, accept all the help that is offered, and keep yourself sane. You’re wise to hunker down and concentrate on yourself and the family just now. I know you know you don’t have to be Superwoman, just a faithful woman.
Stacy says
Thanks for the wonderful encouragement!! Right now feels like a daze…but I can handle 6 weeks.
Holly says
Congrads enjoy your baby moon…such a precious time!

Stacy says
God’s timing is not our timing…but it’s always perfect.:-) Now he won’t miss the wedding, even if I wanted him to come afterwards. 😉 Love you, Suzanne!!
Cynthia DiSarno says
Wow, congrats Myers family on the new addition! He was right on time! Before the wedding and not during! 😉 welcome to the world Andrew James!!!
Stacy says
We keep saying “at least this didn’t happen next weekend!” 🙂
Christina says

AMAZING!! God is good! Now my little guy has a new friend and they are only 6 days apart. We welcomed Samuel Eli on August 20th! Enjoy your Babymoon!!! We totally understand about learning to live with 2 little ones. We have 5 children now ages 17, 12, 10, 14 months, and a newborn…whew! This is one busy momma!! When I feel weary I tell myself that I can do all things through Christ who gives me strength! Lots of love & hugs coming your way!

🙂 Thanks!
AineMistig says
Congratulations! Both your children are beautiful. I hope you recover quickly, and the transition into a two child home goes smoothly.
I will be reading with great interest on your impression on the transition for you as a mama once you’re back. I’m due in 3 months with our second child, and my son is around the same age as your daughter — I’m wondering about exactly what you mentioned, learning how to do this “mom” thing with two kids! So many of my friends have 3+ children that I feel silly even bringing it up to them. Seeing you mention it made me feel like I’m not in this boat alone!
Oh, and the Boppy cover in your picture is the same one my son had. I don’t have it anymore (wasn’t sure if I’d have more children, all his baby things have gone down different paths), but just seeing the pattern in your picture, with the two of your children together looking serenely at each other, seemed like a little heaven-sent assurance that everything will be OK.
I’m sure it will be OK for you too. A little crazy at first, but then a new rhythm will emerge.
Thank you Stacy for your blog, for taking a moment to let us know he’s here!, just as you said. It really made my day!
God bless you!
Stacy says
Yes, it will be okay…for both of us. We just have to find our “new normal.” I’m saying that to myself as I realize I’ve spent a majority of the day feeding two people. 🙂
If you need encouragement along the way, please holler at me.
And yes, I loved that pattern…so I bought two covers. LOL
AineMistig says
Sure, I will holler at you, LOL! I hope I’m able to offer some encouragement to you as well through the comments section in your blog over time. You were wise to buy two covers of your favorite pattern for your boppy — they get stains quickly!
Since this is your first boy, I thought I’d share a book with you that has been a great help to me with my son — a book I’m going back and looking at again with the coming arrival of my second son. It’s called: “It’s a Boy!” by Michael Thompson, PhD and Teresa Barker. It’s a child development book that is specifically about the development of boys from birth through age 18, and it’s one of the best child development books I’ve read.
Even though I was a tomboy growing up, my small family constituted almost entirely of women. I had almost no experience with boys growing up until my teen years. Even though I was madly in love with my son, I was a little lost as to what to expect. I mean, I wasn’t completely lost — I knew what a CHILD needed, but reading this book helped me to better understand not just my son but the other men in my life too. I really believe this book helped me to be a better mother for my son, and to not fret when he wasn’t talking or potty trained as quickly as my friends’ little girls.
I’m fairly new to your blog, so maybe you had all brothers growing up and have a better idea of what to expect than I did. But this really is a great book, that appears to have no other agenda other than helping you to better understand your son through his different stages of development. Anytime someone I know has a little boy, I recommend this book. I thought I would do the same for you. And if you’ve already heard of it or read it, then I hope you don’t mind me taking up space on your page!
Many, many congratulations again on the birth of your son. I look forward to reading about your experiences enjoying his boyhood!
Hopefully this link to the book on Amazon will load for you:

And Ella is cuddly, but Ryan just has this different cuddliness about him, and I love it! I’m SO glad you’re taking time to yourself and your family. Two definitely needed getting used to, but it just gets easier and easier! So rest, and snuggle, and rest, and snuggle…
Nicole says
BTW how could I have forgotten to tell you how INCREDIBLY beautiful Andrew is…like picture perfect beautiful…but that’s not surprising coming from your family =)
