My Baby (Part 1)

Sorry I've been away from the blog lately.  I have been busy enjoying my new little bundle!  I decided to take a break from all work including shooting weddings and blogging.  It's good that I did because I never knew how much work a newborn was.  So I am updating the blog so that when I go back to work I don't just quit blogging due to the mountain of blogging waiting for me.  

Our Elle (pronounced "L" ) was born October 30th 2009.  She was almost a Halloween baby!  She was 7 lbs. 8oz.  She was born with red hair.  We need more Gingers in the world.  Yesterday someone told us that only 2% of the world are redheads.  We are like an endangered species!  So we are glad to repopulate.   I had to have a C-section so we spent a few more days in the hospital which my Dr. calls hotel Verdugo.  I had enough of "hotel Verdugo" and I was just happy to go home, sleep in my own bed, and be with my new little family 

Back in October I had Chad take pictures of my "fluffy" pregnant belly.  I never wanted maternity pics because being pregnant was miserable.  But I decided that I may regret not taking photos once it was over.  Here are the photos from my maternity shoot, and the hospital.  The hospitals ones were taken with my small point and shoot camera, I wasn't feeling well enough to pull the big gun out.
