He took the picture last summer at about six months postpartum. It totally captures my motherhood experience. Exhaustion, pajamas, messy hair, and a little baby finally comfortable hanging out on tummy.
Most of our friends "liked" this photo and left comments as to how gorgeous motherhood looked on me despite how tired I must have been. I laugh now as I read these comments because at the time I was going through the lowest period in my postpartum depression. My girl had started the second round of teething and working full-time with lack of sleep had gotten the better of me.
Even so this is probably my favorite picture in the album because it highlights that I was doing the best I could with what I had. Even if it meant collapsing for a two-second shuteye next to my baby as she practiced rolling on the floor mid day. Plus I love the "oh-oh" look on her face.
