| 2 months, 4 days and 6(ish) hours ago, I became a mommy. Eleanor (or Ellie as we find ourselves calling her) was born after 2 years of "trying", several rounds of IUI procedures, 40 weeks of pregnancy and finally, 30 hours of labor. Eleanor Francis Karwoski was worth every second! Being a mommy has been the most thrilling, adventurous and breathtaking experience I have ever found myself a part of. From the moment I laid my eyes on my little girl, I was in love. Her big eyes locked onto mine almost immediately as if they were telling me that the two of us were destined to be inseparable. How right Ellie was! We haven't hardly left one another's side since she's been born. ;) While I may not have the full freedom of being a stay-at-home mommy, I have the next best thing. I am a work-from-home mommy. :) I've found it a bit difficult, almost trying at times, but none the less exciting, getting back into the swing of things. I've been blessed with a daughter who sleeps through the night (for now) and who takes a 2-3 hour nap (almost) every morning. During my "free" time I try to get my butt into gear and get online answering emails, working on (down selecting) weddings, portraits, blogs, albums and what ever else comes my way. I tell ya, 2-3 hours is just not enough time to get everything I'd like to get done, done. But... it's a start and I'm grateful. Being photographer's, John and I pretty much keep one of our cameras handy at all times so that we can capture those ever so adorable candid moments. I don't want to miss a single smile, laugh or even crying fit. I can tell you that we have not hundreds but thousands of pictures of our little girl already. However, only a small percentage of those have made it to our editing room. I would like to share with you some of the pictures we've taken over the past two months. Ellie and her first month of life... I just couldn't wait to play dress up with my little girl.   I decided I wanted to get some of her in her nursery... Her big comfy nursing chair   And her crib, which she really doesn't sleep in yet.  I told John that I wanted some pictures of the two of us in her nursery. Here is what my darling husband captured. Ellis is now 2 months old.                |
