My mom surprised us with a gorgeous set of blankets she made for Teagan.  As soon as I saw them, they immediately reminded me of these inspiring shots by the amazing Amy Coffey.  If you guys haven’t seen her work, you gotta check her out! So once Teagan landed into his afternoon milk coma, my mom and I got to work taking a few shots…the first one is my fave.  We spotted him on ultrasound hanging out in the womb with his hands like this on his head…

No photo post today.  No time or energy to pick up the camera.  Last night at around 11 pm I was feeding Teagan.  When he was done nursing, I sat him up to burp him and he started to choke.  He recovered quickly, but afterwards his breathing was irregular.  He couldn’t catch his breath, he was struggling and it scared us to death.  He’s fine, and thankfully we received instructions from the NICU nurses on what to do if this sort of thing happens at home.  But, I did what any mother would do, I stayed up all night staring at him to make sure he was breathing.  He had a doctor’s appointment first thing this morning, and he’s doing […]

Today was Jason’s first day back at work since Teagan was born.  I missed having him home like crazy.  He takes such good care of us.  And I know it was so hard for him to leave us this morning and be gone all day.  Thankfully, my mom will be here for the rest of the week to help out.  After that, it’s just me during the day with the kids.  I’m a little nervous about that, there is a lot more to being a mother of 3 than a mother of 2 when one of the 3 is a toddler. Teagan spent his day nursing, and then nursing some more.  He’s an eater!  He also did a little sunbathing […]

It was a little weird pulling out the backdrop the other day, just because I seldom do the traditional stuff anymore, especially at home!  But something about a naked baby cries out for a simple backdrop and I figured I’d do it while my mom is here and able to help me set up the equipment, etc.  I must admit, that as much as I love these, I’m still drawn to the more casual, at home, real life shots….so many more of those coming soon! And a rare occurrence, me in front of the camera.  Jase caught this one of Teagan and I… Teagan looks so tiny in Jason’s hands As I was taking the shot of his little feet […]

Thank you for dropping everything to come take care of Ty & Taryn while we were having Teagan.  Thanks for staying so long, for carting the kids all over the place as needed, for making countless trips back and forth to the hospital, for picking up my mom at the airport, for fixing meals, for taking the time off work and being such a big help.  We’re sure Grandpa is thrilled to have you back though!

I remember both Ty and Taryn being cross eyed at 5 days old.  You know, that, "did you get the number off of that truck" confused look.  But not Mr. Teagan…..its like he knows his mommy is a photographer.  Check out the eye contact!  Way to go buddy! I just love him so much! A couple people have asked how Taryn and Ty are doing.  Ty is doing great, he loooooves babies and wishes we’d have 10 more just so he could cuddle them up.  It’s funny, because we know that once Ty is holding the baby, it’s going to be hard to get him back.  It just makes me love Ty even more, he glows around the baby. Taryn […]

We are off to another dr visit for Teagan this morning.  He had his NICU follow up yesterday and his billirubin numbers came back high.  They went from 6.2 in the hospital to 14.5 yesterday….so we’re getting them checked again today.  Too bad its not sunny here or he could do some naked sunbathing in the window.

A day late, but we’ve been a little busy 😉 A huge thanks to our friend Jill for bringing us this rug that I have been searching for high and low!
