First Pictures

Ummm, I think we'll get the next professional photos of Kaitlin when she's old enough to understand us - say in about 3 years. The poor girl had what was probably the worst day of her short life thus far on Sunday. She was naked, angry, and needed a nap, but what did her mean old parents do? Subjected her to 2 hours of endless posing and manipulating, trying to get that perfect shot. We got about 25 minutes of calm Kaitlin at the end of the shoot, when she was just so worn out and sick of crying that she resigned herself to lay there with a vacant stare. I imagine she was transporting herself back into the womb, thinking "I'm in my happy place." If so, she's remarkably good at zoning us out. I suppose we'll see that skill again when she's a teenager. Needless to say, she slept like a baby last night. I had to wake her at 2:30am after she went SIX HOURS without eating - unheard of! And had I not woken her, I think she would've kept on snoozing trying to undo the damage we did to her poor psyche during that torture session. So she hopes you enjoy the birth announcements you'll be getting, knowing that she had sell her soul to the devil to obtain them.
