Our Little Pickle
Posted By: Lindsay
So my Blog this week was intended to be on shooting in someone’s house and making adjustments based on light. I have done this but don’t have the energy to put it together at this point. My husband just left to take my little girl in to the hospital. She has been sick since last Thursday and has been feeling worse rather than better.
Tonight was one of those nights that I hate most as a parent. The moments where it is beyond your ability to make them feel any better. When they are crying and writhing in pain that you can not identify nor cure. It absolutely breaks my heart. Perhaps nothing is wrong and she just has a nasty virus that is running around in her little body. But perhaps not, that unknown has just been eating at me. We were told yesterday if she was not better by Thursday that we should bring her back in. I assumed she would be better, why wouldn’t she? After all she had medicine in her and was feeling pretty ok when we saw the Dr.
But why is she not feeling any better? Why is she so miserable that even Momma holding her does not bring her comfort? So on went her little red robe with the Sleeping Beauty, and into the car she went with her Daddy. They are off to the Hospital to see a Dr to tell her and us what in the world is going on with our little Pickle.
All I can do is pray that it is nothing, and that my little Pickle and Kyle will return home tired but safe. That is all I have in me to do at this moment. Sit and pray that all is well, and they can somehow do something to relieve my little angel’s discomfort.
***Our Pickle has Strep Throat. Now that… I can work with. Antibiotics have been prescribed and soon we will all be tucked safely into our beds. Here are a few images of the newborn shoot I did today while caring for my sick girl and keeping her far from the baby. All the images were taken in my home. By the end of the shoot and all the furniture moving my house was an absolute disaster. It is however my pleasure to introduce the adorable Miss Emma!!***
Shine On,
Lindsay
***Update…Last night was a rough one, and we are hoping over the next day the antibiotics will begin to work a Ella will finally feel a bit like herself again.***
Beautiful Photos of my little Emma!!! I Love them!!! Thank you so much for all that you do even with your poor little child being sick. She was so good! Your talent is amazing!! I can’t wait to see them all! No rush! Thank you again!
After the night video with your Little Pickle, I’m totally in love with her. I got so concerned reading through yet enthralled with the images – it endeared me to all you were saying even more.
So happy it’s ‘only’ strep. Hurts so much though. Fresh ginger tea with lemon and honey! Beautiful blog Linds. Truly.
Thank you Jen!! It was 100% my pleasure, so fun to be able to work with someone that who gets me. I imagine there would be quite a few people that would look at me weirdly if I asked them to put their newborn on a bookshelf, but not you!! I love that!!
Genie…it melts my heart that she got to you from the video. She is my little shadow and my greatest fan and it breaks my heart to see her hurting. I can not tell you how relieved I was that it was Strep, until she came home and cried on and off all night unless I was rubbing her head. You never realize that seeing you own child hurt is one of the worst pains you can experience as a parent. I will have to try the ginger tea with lemon and honey. She LOVES lemon!! Thank you Genie!!
Love to you both!!
I LOVE these! They came out beautiful! And I’m loving the little cocoon and hat. I need to learn to knit, I think.
Golightly you don’t need to knit because I absolutely can not. Just learn to crochet!! Much easier in my opinion!! I’m thinking about selling them on Etsy, would you be an interested buyer?
Lindsay!!
You amaze me! So glad she is ok! Love the pictures. I am doing my first newborn shoot this weekend and the thing I am most worried about is light. You pictures are beautiful!
Miss you!!!
Oh Linds, those pictures are amazing! I LOVE them and can’t believe you were able to create such stunning images with everything that’s been going on. It looks like you were able to ‘pause’ and I’m pretty sure you can deal with anything life throws at you. This too will pass…
I hope Ella is feeling better soon. I remember how terrified and helpless I felt when Natey had croup. I guess I just found something I hate about this time of year – the germs
Love you xxx
Linda, these are the best!!! I love every one and I hope your Little Pickle is feeling better!!!
Gorgeous! Both your photos and your momma’s heart. Yes, our incredible love for our babies (even when they are older!) can break our hearts. I want to give them more happiness than their hearts can hold.
Beautiful pictures Lindsay.
I’m so glad you have a diagnosis and antibiotics. I’ll be praying for her to get back to 100% quickly.
These pictures are wonderful and so creative…I hope that your little girl is feeling a lot better soon. What a beautiful little baby!
Oh such sweet sweet photos of your precious baby girl. I hope she is feeling better. May the Lord comfort you both and give you good rest to fully recover!!!
Incredible new born photos…just amazing!
