Newborn Photos

-
Our hospital did not have a photographer that took fresh baby photos, so Micha and I researched Pinterest (where else?) for some ideas to try on our own. Here’s what we came up with...




Once we were home I knew I wanted newborn photos, but the professional price tag was a bit more than Micha could be convinced to fork over. He made a deal- he would take the photos and if I didn’t like them we could hire someone else- needless to say, I liked his. More so because he took them. 

 
 
 
 
 

What Mama doesn’t need a Christmas pajama photo? Sebastian was one month old here and still super scrunchie and snugly.  


Sebastian has really grown in the last two weeks, and looking back at these photos already make me a bit sad he's not so tiny.  This isn't looking promising for him as he only continues to grow.  Basically he's a grown man already. {sobbing}

Mom Friends

Phew! This one is hard! I consider myself to be a pretty open book and very inclusive when it comes to new people and making friendships. I acquired this trait moving around a lot as a child. I would pride myself on introducing myself and really trying to get to know other kids, often being the new kid myself. But motherhood is an entirely different scenario. Mother’s are pretentious. Not always inviting. Rarely willing to branch out. I find, often, motherhood to be a bit isolating. Despite staying busy with story time at the library or bookstore, play ground meet ups, gymnastics classes and play dates, meeting and forming friendships with other moms hasn’t proven super tricky. I certainly try, but often I’m not greeted with the same enthusiasm I once had as the new kid in school. You can’t exactly start with, “...but do you vaccinate? Is your child a potential measles carrier?” That’s off putting; now isn’t it?! Truly, in a lot of ways motherhood is like a big old ...

One or Two

This is probably the most talked about during the highs and lows of raising Sebastian.  Do we want a second baby, or are we complete?  From my perspective I am really perplexed.  I bounce back in forth all the time; usually in those highs and lows of parenting I find myself switching sides of the argument. I've imagined myself with two children for a large part of my life, and I'm not sure if that really carries a lot of weight in this decision or if it just adds more {self} pressure.   As far as Sebastian is concerned, I'd absolutely love for him to have siblings.  I think it's a different way of life, a different childhood when you can share it with another sibling.  Of course they will argue like cats and dogs at times, but in the end they will always have each other in their own personal highs and lows of life.  I want that for Sebastian.  Without a doubt, I want Sebastian to have a brother or sister.   Then, I t...

My Favorite {baby} Things

When considering this post I wanted to be sure to be authentic and share some items that we truly love and use daily, and I didn’t want to limit (or stretch) myself to a said number of items. Some of these items are more pricey, so I’ll share how we went about securing them for discounts. I’m a bargain shopper- the influx of expenses surrounding bringing a baby home is quite a lot... my advice, pace yourself. Snuggle Me (Organic)- A snuggle me is basically a pillow with a hammock like suspension center for babies to sleep in. It’s unique shape mimics the comfort of mother’s womb and makes the baby feel secure. Sebastian has slept in the snuggle me every night since he was a week old. For the first month of his life all his naps ans bedtime were in the snuggle me. We have two covers so they can be rotated when washing occurs. Also, an added bonus is that the pillow itself can be tossed into the washing machine and dried in the dryer without damaging or destroying the integrity of...
