This image was taken by my sweet husband, and so thankful that he captured it. I forgot what it’s like to have a newborn at home. You are tired, really tired and wow, they are only little for a second. He’s already gotten so big (7lbs 13 oz)..I was looking at our family newborn photos (which I will be able to share soon) and he was just so tiny..6lbs. So glad we took them then in the very first days home (and so nice to have them taken at home) And you know how much Owen loves his brother so I’m so glad to have that in photos. You know I’ve taken several..but if you are a fellow photographer, it is really tough to take your own newborn photos. You are just super tired..It’s nice to have someone show up, tell you what to do, and then you can go back to napping and feeding a baby 24/7. I really treasure this image..so thankful for it and for all of our family images together. A friend of mine mentioned the other day how badly I wanted this little guy..and just looking at this image and what a dream come true he is, I started sobbing..all those prayers for him, all the heartache waiting for him, and now he’s here. I had forgotten about all the time I wondered if there ever would be another little one in our lives, all the tears, and now he’s here. Our little Christmas surprise and a dream come true for all of us.
Thank you for all the kind words, encouragement, gifts, meals, phone calls, and really just everything. Really loving these days at home snuggling my sweet boys and also super excited about the first ever 2013 Image of the Year. Just had to squeeze in a reminder, too – the last day to enter is Saturday – don’t wait!
