Baby Fontenot #3 Gender Reveal!

It has been such a special couple of weeks getting to share the joy of our pregnancy and now a gender reveal with you! For reasons some of you may not know, it has taken me longer than any other pregnancy to be ready to share this one publicly. I think that’s partly because this will be our last baby and I wanted to savor the good news as long as possible. But I know it’s also because there has been so much fear and anxiety that has come alongside the joy. Our second rainbow baby. As I was sitting down to write this post, I realized that just last week was our previous baby’s due date. Last December, I found out I was pregnant and we were sooo happy.

Beckham’s Newborn Photos.

Since I didn’t get anything set up with a photographer in time to capture Beckham’s newborn photos (second child problems), I decided we would just take them ourselves! It definitely wasn’t an easy task between a toddler and a 10 day-old.. I even turned to Garrett at one point and said “this is why hiring a photographer is worth the money!” lol! But, with the help of a tripod, remote control and the steady eye of both G and I – I think we managed to get some really pretty shots! scroll to the bottom to shop the post! What do you think?
