No Monkey Business Here, just sleep - West U TX Newborn Photographer

I welcomed in a new member of the KP Photo family today. Mr. L was born last week to one of our sexy mammas. You might remember her maternity shoot that I posted a few weeks back. But today was all about Mr. L. He was so cooperative! A good two hours of photos and not one peep. A photographers dream. So these parents are going to have a hard time choosing! He was just too beautiful! Some days I just love my job. Thanks you guys, he was perfect and you will be pleased with the shots. Here are some to get you started.
Is this your first baby? Yes
Is motherhood going better or worse than you anticipated? Better
What is the best thing about being a new mom? Having the cutest baby in the world to love.
What do you find most challenging? Recovering from a c-section and breastfeeding
What was the last time you slept longer than 2 hours? And be honest. Or can you remember? At the hospital, when breastfeeding failed and the nurses offered to take him for the night.
What is your favorite thing about him? When he falls asleep in my arms on my chest, when he smiles, or makes a funny noise to get our attention.

Do you have any words of wisdom for other new mom's to be out there? Some baby books are boring and some are great but you forget everything since the baby hasn't arrived yet. Focus on everything you need to know during the FIRST WEEK of baby's life. Like what their sleeping habits are supposed to be and not just that they sleep all the time. How often they wet/soil a diaper and not just that diaper changes occur often. What exactly you need to do for breastfeeding and that it's more challenging than it seems. Other things beyond the first week are important too but the first week was the most challenging for me just because I'm new and honestly did not know what to expect or what I'm doing.
What do you imagine your baby being when he or she grows up? No idea... but I hope he's good at math. (This mamma is in the financial realm when she isn't doing her motherly duties.)
What are you most looking forward to teaching him or doing with him in the future? With mom, baking. With dad, sports.
What is one wish you have for your baby in the future? To become a genuinely good person despite all the influences in today's society and to be good to his mom (and dad but more mom).
