November 5Th at 7:54 a.m. Ryan Michael Benson joined our family a few weeks early! I would have to say everyone tells you, there is nothing like having your own child, and you always nod, thinking yeah your probably right. But no one can truly prepare you for the emotions that overflow when you first see your own child and hear him cry. God is amazing to give us such a gift! We have a healthy baby boy that weighed 6 lbs. 5 oz. and was 19 in. long!
I have taken a few pictures, but of course not nearly all the ones I want to take! It is SO much harder being the mom and the photographer! Our first shoot went a little something like this...
First I fed Ryan till he was so sleepy, he was like a drunk baby on milk! Then I got everything set up I had 4 different settings I wanted to do with my naked baby! (I am also home alone) I get Ryan undressed and start taking pictures, I get a few shots, now we are ready for the next set, as I pick him up I realize he had poo poo on the blanket! Then I clean him up and go to set him on the next set, he starts to pee on me! Yikes! So I clean up again, and set him down, take some pictures and he is waking up by now, and starts to pee again! So needless to say we were done taking pictures for the day, and I had a lot of laundry to do!
So more pictures to come later!
