The other day I came across these picture, and three things instantly jumped out at me.

1. I look rough. I know I know... I literally just pushed out a baby, but still.... 

2. Am I seriously nursing my baby, smiling for the camera, and helping coral my other children a mere few hours after giving birth? I'm not going to lie, I'm kind of impressed by myself right now. 

3. Elias looks like such a baby (I mean this literally, not in the omg you're such a baby way)! I looked at this picture and I was shocked by how young he looks right here.... And that's because he was young! No wonder I don't really remember the first couple of months after elana was born!
