I’m going to give you fair warning right now, if you don’t think my baby is cute you should probably move on to something else. This post is going to be picture overload, and I wont even think about apologizing. This sweet little boy is mine and I am totally in love! Doing my own newborn session was hard! I had been warned by other photographer and they were right, your baby can smell you and just wants you to hold them. Also, this was my hardest and longest labor and definitely my hardest recovery. Getting to the studio, setting up and doing all the bending, lift and a posing was hard on my already exhausted body. Is this my best newborn session ever? No, not at all. But I love every picture because he is mine!
I have to admit when I was pregnant with Jackson I was afraid I would have a hard time loving him. He was another boy, and I really wanted a girl. I wasn’t sure I could handle more crazy boy antics and I longed to not be the only girl in the house. I had so many strong emotions about it that at times it was completely overwhelming.
Then he was born and every fear I had disappeared. It was unlike anything I had experienced with Eli or Logan’s births, I was instantly in love. I had never been so sure of anything in my life, he was suppose to be my baby. I knew that even though I wouldn’t have picked another little boy, this baby had picked me as his Mother. Moments after he was born I looked at Dan and told him I wanted to have another baby! He was pretty shocked because I had been so anxious about having another boy I had told him several times that this was our last.
Jackson has changed my heart so much in the last 5 weeks. He has softened my heart and changed me in ways I didn’t know I needed. He has blessed me in ways I could not imagine. Jackson is the baby I didn’t know I needed.
We are all completely obsessed with Jackson’s hair. Neither of the other boys had any hair when they were born. None of it has fallen out and it just keeps on growing. It’s a little lighter now; more blond but still a little red.
His lips are SO KISSABLE!
Roll, squishy faces and yawns – I die!
