Newborn Photographer in Frisco TX

Today I’m back sharing more pictures from one of my own little one’s photo shoots

After having 4 full term babies, never did I think I’d end up in labor at 33 weeks pregnant. It was all so sudden that I didn’t really get the chance to mentally prepare myself. I had no experience with preterm babies. I had never stepped foot into a NICU unit before. My baby, Danya, entered this world with a bang and without any prior notice. At 4lbs, she was my tiniest baby! The NICU was her home for all of 14 days. Her nurses were a godsend and I couldn’t thank them enough for being there for her and me. I cried, bawled, in their presence while held my hand and told me it’d all be alright. I truly wouldn’t know what I’d do if she didn’t have the amazing nurses she had.

Those two weeks with her in the NICU were so incredibly hard and I have newfound respect and admiration for parents with babies there. I don’t believe I’ve cried as much I did while she was in the hospital. I just wanted to bring her home. For her to finally meet her siblings, who were dying to see her – hold her. When the day finally came, I realized what a learning curve it’d be with a preemie. I was so used to chunkier babies. Babies with great latch. No issue’s other than the occasional gassiness. Now I had a baby who was extremely fussy and colic. She was allergic to cow milk protein, soy and gluten. It took a little over 4 months for her to overcome her colicky stage.

Today she’s 6 months old. Although she’s still small, she’s thriving and such a happy baby.

Here I’m sharing some images from when we had just brought her home. These are her older siblings who love her so very much!
