At the beginning, we missed out on a lot of firsts with Sophia (we experienced a whole new set of firsts) but I couldn't shake the feeling of being jipped out of those first time mom and newborn moments with Sophia. One thing that made me really sad was missing out of our first family pictures and newborn pictures of Sophia. I was heartbroken because even the most mundane of things I couldn't have with her. Selfish maybe but I needed it. Yes I have 100s of photos of Sophia when she was first born, photos of her in the NICU and post-OR and with stints and wires, but you get the idea. I just wanted the blissful newborn pictures that I was watching all of my friends and family members get with their newborn angels. It wasn't until almost 9 months later that that tiny dream came true. Thanks to a wonderful friend and a person whom can walk in my shoes, my family was finally able to get our first family pictures. I couldn't be more pleased with these photos. I will treasure them always. Getting pictures taken at this point in our journey showcases just how far Sophia has come with her health and how far we have come as a family. LOVE
I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!
