Okay the holidays were a little hectic and we have some photos that we've missed out on posting, so I'll do my best to get these up and posted over the next few days.
At Aubrey's two weeks old milestone, I was feeling a bit of what folks call cabin fever. I had seen all these TV adds for Disney's new movie Tangled, and I have to admit that I felt a little like Rapunzel waiting for her Prince to come rescue her every day at 5:30 PM. In my case my prince was Brian. I was accustomed to working 40 - 50 hours a week and with a blink of an eye all of a sudden I was stuck in my home all day only to find that I was waking up ever 2 hours to feed my little chub. I was a walking bottle /slash/ pacifier. Let's just say it wasn't bringing the best out of me.
So for a change of scenery Brian and I decided to venture out to get our first family portrait at 8 PM. I figured we could be the last group and hopefully the photographer would be willing to spend some extra time with this new family. Of course that did. not. happen. After waiting 1.5 hours for 4 other families before us to have their photos taken, it was finally our turn. By this time Aubrey fell asleep and wasn't really excited to be part of the action. We were given the option to come back on the weekend, but the sales lady does not understand how difficult it is to get a half drugged lady recovering from a c-section showered with makeup on, a baby dressed with no spit-up on her clothes (and mom's clothes for that matter) and to get her not-fully-into-getting-my-picture-taken husband dressed in a suit and everyone ready to go and be on time. No this little 15-something year old highschooler has NO FREAKIN IDEA. So after waiting 1.5 hours, a last minute call home to my mom to help with the photo session, a sleeping baby turn fussy turn outright-peeved-off-stinkin-hungry-I'm-over-this 2 week old drama queen, we got the following. A special thanks to my mom for helping me change Aubrey into her Mrs. Claus suit and making sure our hair was in its proper place!
And this is what we ended up with for our Christmas Card. I seriously debated putting the photo of Aubrey debuting her red face of, "I'm so freakin' hot under these lights and from having my photo taken so many times in not one, but two outfits"screaming SCREAMING pose instead of her beautiful serene happy baby photo. I went with the later. Again, a big shout out to my mom for helping keep me sane during this stressful event!
And here are a few other photos:
