Rhode Island and Massachusetts newborn, baby, child and family on location photographer
We had a beautiful sunset at Barrington beach for our session last week! Archie is already so smiley at 8 weeks old, and he was such a chill little guy (got to love chunky baby boys!)
His big sister Ruby is just stunning with her big smile, curls and adorable pink glasses! I’m so happy we are neighbors; our kids are all going to go to school together, and they are spaced out just perfectly where they might even be in the same classes!
“As we approached the 39th week of pregnancy, we were prepared to meet the arrival of our baby boy. I mean this was our second child and they tend to come sooner, right? His sister was induced after 40 weeks, but we still thought I might go early. We had Grandma in from Cincinnati ready to help once baby arrived. Everything was cleaned, folded & ready to go.
Well, 39 weeks came & went. Forty came & went too. Should we induce again? They thought he would be pretty big- a 9 pounder! Could I deliver a 9+ pound baby? Another induction was scheduled. The morning of the induction, I just couldn’t bring myself to do it. I wanted this baby to come when he was ready, not to be “evicted”.
After much consideration, we cancelled the induction and decided to give him a few more days. The whole family was on baby watch. Every day past forty weeks feels like an eternity. You want your baby here to hold. You are uncomfortable and want your body back. Mostly you just want them here safe & sound.
Well, Luke arrived exactly one week past his due date, all on his own – all 9lbs 6 oz of him! It was a quick labor and very speedy delivery. I am here to testify- fat squishes and he had no problem making his way out into the world. We are glad that we let nature take it’s course and had him on our terms. He is a pretty mellow and easy baby. Our biggest challenge is making our 2 year old feel like an important part of things. We are so blessed to have such a sweet addition to our family. Every days is an adventure as a family of four!”
In their words:
“Words can’t express the joy and love our daughter has brought us. The excitement and fulfillment she has added to our family is overwhelming, and it all began on the day we found out we were expecting! The past 40 weeks have been the best weeks of our lives! Hearing the sound of her heartbeat, feeling her every move and getting to see her beautiful little self has been mind blowing and awe inspiring! Now that she’s here and we get to hold her, smell her and love her– the feelings are even more profound. I have been waiting for this baby for my entire life and she has brought us more joy than I could have ever imagined!”
In one moment, he will plow you over for a kiss attack or a tickle; only to snuggle you and sing sweet lullabies
