i hope all the dads out there are having a great father’s day! here’s one of my personal favorite daddy.
yeesh! people think that just because sam’s mom is a photographer, there should be more than one picture of him on the blog so far!
i mean, come on, he is 9 days old already!!!
the truth is that i have been slacking. i would rather be holding him than editing pictures of him. luckily this afternoon my mom took jack and i decided to multitask.
i found out i can hold a sleeping baby and edit at the same time.
sam truly is a chunky monkey! i took him to the doctor today for a follow-up and he already weighs 10lbs, 8 oz. lets just say he is a great eater!
more of sam to come soon! i promise!
my good friend rachel, of august tea photography volunteered a while ago to photograph sam’s birth. i was a little hesitant at first (as was john) but i am now so glad i decided to have her do it! i love the moments she captured and am so grateful to her. i am pretty sure this will be something i will forever cherish!
here is the link to the slide show if you would like to check it out (just give it a minute to load first). happy birthday sam!
just please ignore my double chin and stretched-marked belly! also, if you are pregnant and unsure of whether or not to get an epidural, this may help you decide. with an epidural, you too can look as happy as me while in labor! i was laughing during contractions and even between pushes. i didn’t get an epidural with jack and was completely astonished how much different the whole experience was this time.
in case you haven’t heard…we are now the proud owners of baby boy #2…samuel robert skinner! he was born last tuesday, june 8th at 3:57pm. he weighed in at 9lbs, 9 oz and 20 inches long. we are completely smitten over him, especially jack, who is constantly wanting to love on his little brother.
like probably many second time moms, i was a little worried that i could never love another child as much as i did jack. well, the instant i saw sam, i knew i was wrong. he is absolutely perfect and such a sweetheart! i could just hold him all day long!
here he is at 4 days old!
i’m sure this is the first of many pictures of sam you will see in the upcoming weeks.
