Monday Max – Stinking Cute

Max, October 6th, 2011, 6 months 3 weeks

We’ve never had the opportunity to get professional photos done. Honestly, it was more vanity on my part – I didn’t want to pay large sums of money to capture my little preemie with his oxygen cannula taped to his face. Professional pictures are supposed to give us some normalcy and anyone with a preemie knows it’s not a normal time.

We finally gave in to a local studio promotion – as it is a chain store, I figured we’d get two or three good poses. $400 later, and we have prints and copyright ownership of all of them. They are all adorable, but this one is my favorite.

And, yes, that is the same ducky that kept him company in his isolette during his NICU stay.
