What in the world was I thinking? I specifically remember--even in my post-delivery haze--asking Tanna which package we should get. He said something like, "Whatever you think, Honey." What? Women who have just been through childbirth should not be making such decisions. And YES--we were able to see a proof.
Don't get me wrong. I love my baby, and I think she is the most beautiful child ever (as all Moms think of their babies). But oh my. I came across this photo this afternoon while looking for another photo. I understand wanting to have at least one photo of baby's first portrait, but there is no need for a big ol' package.
By the way, we have PLENTY of these if anyone wants a copy. I didn't get around to sending them out to everyone. I wonder why ...

In other news, I was frantically looking for another, MUCH better photo of Kate that was taken when she was 10 days old. I couldn't find it ANYWHERE. In my search, I tore apart a cabinet and made a huge mess. It was driving me crazy. So I prayed and asked God to help me find this photo. Within about five minutes, I opened a scrapbooking box full of photos I forgot I had printed. Right on top was THE photo I was looking for. Thank You, Lord.
Some people think it is silly to pray about such frivolous things. I don't, though.
e.t. phone home!
ReplyDeleteI've done that before and my prayers are usually answered.
ReplyDeleteYou are cracking me up!
ReplyDeleteYour Kate was beautiful in her first portrait. Wanna see an ugly, Kate? Check my slideshow tomorrow... She wasn't remotely cute until 3 months old. I can see it now. I thought she was the most beautiful thing ever at the time. Mommy goggles!
we all think our babies are so cute when they are first born. I look back and laugh...andrew looked like an alien...ethan was ok! hehehe
ReplyDeleteHmm, that reminds me, I don't think I've ever even seen the proof of Rachel's hospital pic!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you found your pic-and,no I don't think it is silly to pray over things like that. I do it, too. :) This post cracked me up! I think it is just that babies change so much (hour to hour it seems) in the hospital. And I'm sure the nurses don't spend hours trying to capture the right moment on film like we would. I did like that we got a CD of Anna-Claire's hospital picture when we were discharged. Then we could do whatever we liked with it. No pressure of picking out a package on the spot.
