.photo shoot.
wow, i can't believe little wyatt is almost 3 weeks old. time flies. this little boy is such a good baby. i swear he never cries.. so as far as the baby goes, life is perfect. now i'm going to be brutally honest about the postpartum emotion part. whoa, was i blindsided by the rush of emotion. i guess i wasn't prepared because i thought that after all the hormones i've taken, that there couldn't be a hormone shift that i couldn't handle. NOT! i have been SO EMOTIONAL. mostly with happy, overwhelming feelings, but sometimes those inadequate, unsure feelings creep in and make you question everything you're doing. i find it hard to balance putting wyatt on a schedule and just holding him all day. if i don't hold him, i feel like i'm neglecting him or that i'm not bonding with him enough. and on the other hand, if i don't put him down, i feel like he's getting used to be rocked to sleep. AHH! my brain is telling me that all these thoughts are ridiculous. i know they are. but sometimes i can't help but over analyze every action. i think most of those feelings are behind me, as this week i've been super happy just hanging out with my little guy. i made a pact with myself last night that i would stop over thinking and just enjoy my baby, because he'll only be this little for a very short time. i don't want to wish his littleness away! anyway, so that is the deal with me... i'm pretty crazy, and cameron has been so wonderful to be supportive and understanding when he comes home and i'm bawling because i think i'm a bad mom! thanks honey. this too shall pass...hopefully sooner, than later. on a lighter, more adorable note, we got wyatt's newborn photos taken, here is a preview.. thanks caroline!

Oh my goodness Ashley is SO adorable! You know and I know that all babies aren't always cute when they come out...but he is so STINKIN cute!! Can't wait to see the little guy one of these days!! Congrats to you guys! Enjoy mommyhood! Don't let those feeling overwhelm you! It's completely normal to feel all of those! Take care of that cutie and yourself!
So cute! And Ash, you hold him as long as you want whenever you want. You can only do that with your first, so live it up. Once the second comes along you won't have as many opportunities to just sit and hold them while they sleep and cuddle and sleep with them when they sleep. It's so precious. So enjoy every minute.
you are totally normal! and your baby is gorgeous! he is adorable and sounds like he is a good baby which helps with those crazy emotional times. Don't worry the crazyness will subside, but i think once you become a mother you are basically just crazy because now you are constantly thinking of them rather than yourself, whether it is how cute they are and peaceful they look when they are asleep or how you are worried about everything! just so you know you are doing great, and you really do know what is best for your baby so have confidence in yourself and your decisions, even though you may feel like you don't know what you are doing. oh and get as much sleep as you can! can't wait to see more pics!
I felt the same way for like a week and then I was fine! I LOVE LOVE LOVE that picture! I can't wait to see more! he is so handsome!!
Yep hold him as much as you want. Too soon he won't want you to hold him. He'll want to stand, crawl and wiggle out of your arms. He is truly one of the cutest babies I've ever seen. I miss you guys and I wish I could be there to visit!!
Ash he is so precious! I can't wait to see all the pictures! Don't feel bad about anything. He is lucky to have you!
He is so cute. I love his hair. Try not to worry so much. It all will work out. Hold the little guy while you can. The whole schedule thing will come in time. Just love the little guy. Have fun with him.
Wow I can't decide if I'm glad I read this or not, it makes me nervous but I guess thanks for the warning. I hope you are doing better because I know you are the most amazing mom ever, love his pics and all that hair, what a doll!
Oh my HECK YOU GUYS!!!!!!!!! He is PRECIOUS. I am so glad for you, to have all of the trials come together for your good, growing your little family. And Ashley, remember. We need to hang out because, we're like, all normal and everything. You are a doll. Hang in there and eat up those little toes! (I am obsessed with baby toes! Peas in a pod).
