Canton Newborn Photographer| Newborn Lulu

I just sent newborn Lucille’s gallery off to her mom, and I have to share my favorites from her session!

For your reading pleasure, a little bit about how Lulu came to be, answered by her mom:

How did mom and dad meet?
Over a bottle of Jack Daniels.
How did mom tell dad they were expecting?
I asked him to tell me if he saw two lines or one line on the pregnancy test. We were actively trying so it was not a big shock.
What was the best/surprising/worst/most annoying thing being pregnant? (Dad can answer too 🙂 )
In short being pregnant is not fun, however this was not surprising to me, I did not think it would awesome to have an alien being living inside of you and sucking the life out of you for 9 months while you get really fat. It is a means to and end.
Did you find out if you were having a boy/girl? What was mom and dad’s reactions?
Nope! We found out at delivery. Dad really wanted a boy so when he saw it was a girl, he said “oh” and then later said, “I guess we will have to try again.” Mom was not surprised because she knew because dad wanted a boy so badly it would be a girl.
List the possible baby names, and how did you narrow it down?
We narrowed it down to Lucille and Blanche for a girl, but Dad hated the the name Blanche, so we went with Lucille. If it was a boy we picked Augustus, it was the only name we could agree on.
How did baby prep go? (Putting in the car seat, setting up the crib, stuff like that.)
When attempting to put in the car seat base, I (mom) didn’t know what the heck I was doing and thought it was really hard. I ended up crying in the back seat thinking I should not be allowed to have a child. Eventually, I got it put in and realized I could now be a mom.
How did labor and delivery go… and how did dad do?
Labor sucked…..until I got an epidural pretty late in the game, and then it was lovely. I pushed for less than an hour and felt great while doing it, because I could barely feel anything. Dad did an amazing job and really got involved, holding mom’s legs, it was shocking.
Did your baby look like what you expected?
Sure did. Looked like a baby!
What were mom’s first thoughts when she saw her new baby? And dad?
I (mom) was completely overwhelmed, tired and relieved that she was healthy. Dad was also very happy, instantly in love.
What have the first few days with the baby at home been like?
Tiring. Babies sure do sleep a lot, but only a few hours at a time and then they wake you up and want you to feed them. It might be one of the hardest, yet most fulfilling things i have ever experienced.
