Brody’s grandma called early on the day of his scheduled shoot. Instead of coming to see me he had been Life Flighted to Blank in Des Moines. Although they still aren’t 100% sure of the cause of his problem, he seems to be doing great now.
I was excited to photograph Brody as I am any newborn. But, there was something special about this little boy. He was 22 inches long and weighed 12lbs 8 oz, I know all moms are thinking ‘ouch’. Yes, a big baby but you know what, he didn’t seem big at all to me. He had a little bit of chub but not what you would think. He is just perfect. Yes, momma had gestational diabetes but is doing great now.
I hate it when I feel old! This isn’t the first one of my classmates to be a grandpa but it hurts every time. Goodness we haven’t been out of school that long have we. I guess we have. : (
I wanted to post this picture so you see his size in relation to his parents, not big at all.
I don’t know if you can see his little lip blisters or not. I love those, you know he has spent some time eating.
Brody, you were a gem!!!
