oh baby...

I haven't held a 2 week old baby
in what seems like forever
and
let me tell you this one
is
extraordinary
my photo shoot
was to take place while she was sound asleep
completely out cold
drunk
on her momma's milk
so I could mold her
back into a fetal position
but
she decided today would be the day
to actually stay awake all afternoon
~except for 2 minutes~
and
fool her parents
and
me
into thinking she had a schedule
so we're going to try this again
next week
~
and
oh
I can hardly wait
I really had forgotten how good a baby feels in your arms

  2. Oh how I love this post!!!! We got to see our baby via sonogram on Friday. It's all so exciting and my husband and I are going to have a tough time waiting until May to be able to get our hands on he/she, God willing. Thank you for sharing these photos with us. So, so precious!! : )

  19. A little after I made my first comment, my daughter told me she heard the phrase 'teacup human' last night, and loved it. I told her about that it's what your wonderful pictures could have been entitled.

  22. the time passes so quickly, I would so love another. Being a new mother was the absolute best time of my entire life. You did a lovely job capturing the feeling; especially the one of the "ear" although what I like best about that photo are the sweet folds in her neck and the peach fuzz on her back....
