I wish we got newborn photos done. I truly felt like we were fighting for our lives and then the newborn stage was gone in the blink of an eye. We have tons of photos we took ourselves but I wish we had professional ones done

I think you capturing the moments is going to hit deeper later. Like you will remember that feeling more what you went through the good and the tiring moments you know? it will hit home more

The newborn stage is so hard, I kept saying we had plenty of time to do it and then the time ran out. I appreciate that we at least have hundreds if not a thousand pictures of her already

I agree. I’ll remember the intimate moments rather than not
I have thousands too hahaha
But you are totally valid for feeling the way you do because I hate the same sentiment with you! It’s like I blinked my eyes and he wasn’t a newborn anymore and in those moments I thought the same
I wish we had done professional photos too. There’s definitely tons of selfies with my baby and I like you have. I agree that my selfies are definitely more sentimental because that’s when we were going through so much with me being a first time mom. I don’t think I ever even got a moment to myself until she was 4 months old…and that was only to take a speedy shower because I didn’t trust anyone with my baby. I had some serious trust issues at first…like only I was capable of watching our baby lol. But yes professional photos would have been so nice!
Time is moving easy too fast. Someone needs to find a way to slow it down
I have such a hard time trusting her with anyone too. I have trauma with our first who ended up passing away which has caused me to not trust anyone. I’m working on my trust but it’s not there yet.
I honestly don’t know where people find the time to do them.

I am so sorry to hear about your first. That makes me want to cry. 
I can totally understand the trust thing. I believe that will change when they get older. I have a fear that mine might die from something because I lost my first pregnancy and I’m already getting too old to have another baby(Im turning 40 this year). I got pregnant 9 months after my mother died, and I believe her soul is within my baby because that is what Yaweh told me when I prayed. I know that might sound crazy to a lot of people, but I know it in my heart. So that makes her even more precious to me because my mom and I were really close. Our babies are so precious, and no one can care for them like we do. I hope we are able to trust others more with our babies over time
I don’t know how people find the time for professional photos either! We’re just barely surviving during that time!

I’m sorry to hear you lost your first and your mom.
I believe that God speaks to people. I knew I was going to get pregnant when I did because Jesus told me in a dream that id become pregnant in 6 months, that id deliver a healthy baby and the pregnancy would be without complications and 6 months later despite being told I didn’t ovulate I was pregnant, , it was all true . I understand what it’s like when people don’t believe you.
Also God may bless you with another one, he’s done crazier things before

It’s truly amazing when The Lord speaks to us like that. That’s such a cool dream He gave you! That’s such a blessing you were able to conceive despite the difficulties. God works in miraculous ways! That reminds me of when I dreamt of having my baby girl over 10 years ago. I just knew it was God telling me I would have a baby, and sure enough my baby looks just like the little girl from the dream. The last couple years I’ve been dreaming about having twin boys, and getting that same feeling. I know it’s harder to get pregnant as I get older, but if God gave Sarah in Genesis a child at her old age, anything is possible.
The newborn stage is so hard. I know for a lot of women its just about surviving. Have you tried using AI to try and turn some of the pictures you’ve taken into professionals? Its what I had to do for my daughter because I didn’t get to do newborn pictures when she was born 2 years ago
Awwww. I feel this. You really don’t know how time goes by so fast. Don’t worry though, start getting pictures now. Do a shoot. You will love more than you can imagine!!!

That’s such a cool idea!
I wish that we did as well! I defiantly want to get professional family pictures done for my birthday.
That sounds like a fun idea, maybe I’ll see what my husband thinks
You should do it!!!

That first month is such a blur—it’s like you’re just surviving, and then suddenly they’re not tiny anymore. I wish I could go back and take more photos of every little moment.

Exactly, we are all just trying to figure everything out and then boom it’s been months. Or you’ll finally hit a smooth spot and then they changed
