What a blessing it was to have precious Caroline in the studio last week for her newborn photography session! I am always amazed at God's handiwork... the sweet lashes, the tiny feet, fingernails, button nose... all uniquely made the creator.
I have many favorite portraits from her session, so it was really hard to choose a few for the blog! I asked Caroline’s mom about what her first few weeks of parenting a newborn baby have been like. Here’s what she had to say:
How did you come up with baby Caroline's name?
Caroline Dawn Matthews - A family name!
We had always loved the name Caroline. However, the middle name Dawn, is a family name on both sides of my mom's and dad's family!
What is the best trick you use to help your Newborn Little One sleep?
She loves to be swaddled, she goes straight to sleep when she is nice and snug in a blanket.
Is there anything about parenting a newborn baby that has surprised you?
Parenting a newborn is nothing but amazing and a true gift from God. All of the cries, and late night feedings are so worth it.
Favorite thing about being a new mom?
My favorite thing about being a new mom is being able to hold Caroline and love on her. I love to just stare at her. I think how amazing it is how God made something so little and so perfect.
What’s the most useful newborn baby product you have?
The Pello Boppy pillow. It makes it so easy to lay her down so I’m able to get things done around the house.
If you could tell an “about to be a first-time mom” anything, what would it be?
Soak it all in. It goes so fast, hold the baby every chance you get, and spend as much quality time you can with just the two of you.
