Bad Mommy

I was a bad mommy today. All because I wanted to take the perfect picture for this blog. So I really blame the blog for this event. Well, I blame the blog and I blame it on this.

What the heck is that? It's a pillow. I blame the pillow. It all started with my new toy that I LOVE. It's called "My Breast Friend" pictured above. And it truly is my new friend. It's a breast feeding pillow that I bought yesterday. I have been using a pillow called the boppy for a while and it just never felt right. Emmett would never be positioned correctly to feed and this would cause my boobs to hurt. It got to the point where I wanted to give up breast feeding! But then I found this.


So I have been using it since last night and I love it! Emmett loves it too. So much that after a feeding he passes out on it. And it's pretty hard to feed a baby when he looks like this.


I thought it was kind of cute how he totally passed out before he finished eating. So I reached for the camera and took some pictures. Of course I wanted the perfect picture so I took a few with different angles.
At one point I leaned over to try and get his arm in the picture when he ROLLED off the pillow. It happened so fast and yet it felt like it was slow motion. I tried to catch him but he just slid right off. Thankfully I was sitting on the floor and didn't have far to fall. The crazy part is that he landed with a soft thud and stayed asleep! He didn't even make a sound.


He looked so happy and content on the floor that I didn't want to move him. But babies are suppose to sleep on their backs. Darn it!! Should I risk waking him up and move him? Or should I sit there and stare at him to make sure he's okay?

I decided to move him cause I didn't know how long he was going to sleep and I didn't want to just sit there and stare at him. So I moved him to the carseat (his new napping spot).

I learned my lesson for sure. Pictures must be taken with one hand on the baby.
