Baby Photoshoot

So as a photographer I love to try new things,  And the one thing that i've never had a chance to try, is a newborn baby photo shoot.  I've done weddings, bridals, family photos,  sr pictures, mission photos,  but I've never shot a new born baby.  How does that happen you ask if I've had 3 babies of my own?  Well... Recovering from a c-section and taking care of a little one is about all I can do after giving birth,  I'm not one of those women who has a baby on saturday and is back to church the next day with the whole family in tow.  So the only way for me to try a baby photo shoot is to borrow someone else's baby,  and how exactly do you ask for that?  Oh hey you just had a baby?  Can I borrow it?  PLEASE?  ummmm yes.  I've never really had the guts to ask!   But my friend Melissa just had a baby 4 weeks ago and I decided to jump in and.. well... ask!  So today she brought over her baby and we attempted photos.  You know those photos you see of babies sound asleep and posed in the cutest poses while sleeping through the whole thing.  Yes you know what I'm talking about!  Did we get any of those?  Ummmm no. :)  That only works is the baby FEELS like falling into a deep coma sleep,  which little Tristan didn't' want to today!  I think he knew that once he feel asleep I was coming in to pose him.  So he kept looking at me with one eye open.   But after a few hours of working with him we did get a few good shots,  This one I'm totally in love with!  Isn't he beautiful?!?



Uh he's just so cute!  Here are a few of my other favorites!











 Thanks again Melissa for letting me torture your baby!  I still need lots of practice but it was lots of fun!

A not so fun support group meeting

Tonight was our monthly support group meeting.   I was actually looking forward to it, and hoping that it would be a good meeting.  I have found some really wonderful friends there.  There were a lot of new people there tonight and I've never seen it so full.   Which of course is not a good thing.  It always makes me sad to think that someone else has to loose a baby too. However it was NOT a good meeting tonight.  I'm totally baffled how someone can sit in a room full of people who have ALL lost a child in one way or another and say that no one knows what they are going through and that what they went through is far worse than what everyone else has gone through... Yea for me personally a miscarriage would be far easier than what we did go through for Colette, but I would never say to anyone that had a miscarriage that what I went through was far worse than what they went through.  I would never dream of it!  Yet I had to sit through ...

Another Ultrasound update

Today I went to the Hospital and had another Ultra sound with Maternal Fetal Medicine.  Other than both of the babies being in kind of a funky position  everything looks great.  And the babies are not measuring small by any means!  Baby A is about 2lbs 8 oz and Baby B is about 2lbs 11oz.  But it was good to see their little hearts beating away and watch them snuggle together.  I have a little break from dr's appointments for a couple of weeks but it will be fun to see how much they have grown the next time we get to have a peek at them.
