We’ve had some sleepless nights and days this past weekend, which has been pretty rough on us. However, moments like these, make it all worth it. I need to keep my words to a minimum, as I need to go to bed, but these photos speak for themselves anyway. Miles is the sweetest big brother…

We are past the two week mark of life with Jocelyn and we are finally finding our stride as parents again. Man, those first two weeks I was like bambi walking on ice as a new mom. You would think I would have remembered all the newborn stuff, but I think that as Miles grew,…

Betsy, your kiddos are beautiful. I love coming here and reading how much love you have your kids and all your positive attitude. I pray that God just keeps showering you with blessings. So happy for you and John on Jossy B (love that name by the way).
-
It’s great how in a few years you won’t remember all the sleepless nights. That’s a great shot of John jumping the pool.

I totally understand on the side of Miles seeming so grown up, since Camden was born CJ looks and just seems like he has matured so much… Pretty much overnight.

She is a peach! i love the first picture with the smooshy baby face 😀 I just went through all my daughters newborn & 3-6 month clothing . . .in tears. She’s 6 1/2 months, and boy has it flown by! My oldest startes Kindergarten in the fall. .. I wish I could put time on hold, or at least maybe in slow-mo : D Enjoy every moment. It flies by waaaay quicker with #2 just by simply being busy with #1 . . and the third way way waaay quicker : (

This is adorable!
John and I took turns taking photos the week we were at the hospital when Jocelyn was born. As I share some of them with you, I thought I would share a bit of the story of that week as well. Forgive my writing as I’m not getting much sleep these days! Or just skip…

Ohhh Betsy I just love her. I could have held her all day! She IS just like a smooshy little puppy! We are just so happy for you guys. And I don’t think you’ll have to buy very many clothes for the next few months, judging by Gail’s tweets this morning 🙂
P.S. I’m laughing at one picture and I think you know why. 🙂

oh my gosh! these pictures are great, betsy!! she is just precious

She is so precious! And Miles is such a great big brother. I cannot wait to see the little video. Thank you for being so open and sharing your story with us.

Oh hon….you are so blessed. I am so so SOOO over the moon happy for you. And it’s fun to get in on this newborn ride this time around since I don’t think I “knew” you until Miles was a few months old. Gosh…isn’t that crazy?
-
i LOVE this post. i love your family. Jossy just fits perfectly.
-
Congrats! I love your work and your sweet baby girl is precious!
-
Gorgeous photos! From where I’m sitting I think everything from being to pregnant to delivery of your baby girl was beautiful.

Betsy, she is so beautiful. Some clothing advice: don’t buy too much right away because she will grow fast and the 0-3m stuff doesn’t get used much. Frilly dresses are really cute, but begin to be a pain in the butt after a while. Buy a few that you really love, but don’t overload. Ava, my daughter (14 mnths), loved onesies and leg warmers for around the house. Hope that helps!

My bit of clothing advice is for you – if you haven’t already, go to Target and buy yourself a few nursing camis/tanks. You will LIVE in them! I wore them for the first month of two under other shirts and they were wonderfully practical for nursing. Now that my son is almost six months I just wear them to bed. I think they are one of the best inventions!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! She is an absolute doll.

Betsy – While I don’t know you personally, you took my daughter’s senior pictures, and she has gotten me hooked on your blog. I think it’s because I am about to send my baby girl off on a new journey in college and out into the world, as I see you bring your new baby girl into the world. Nicole also had very pink skin, lots of dark hair, and lot so hair all over. Enjoy every moment, I get to relive it through your pictures, and it goes way too fast. I wish I had thought to take more pictures of the little moments that are so precious. Best of luck to you and your beautiful special family.

Betsy…I’ve been a blog follower for some time and must say that this is such a beautiful post. My husband and I are expecting our first and your story and pictures just made me even more excited. Congratulations on your beautiful little girl and on your lovely family.
-
ahhhhhhhhh, teared me up Bets. She’s stunning. And all the little things you got to do with her arrival with John and the dinner and the yummy yogurt. 🙂 So happy you have this new little addition and to have Miles be the perfect older brother too. CUTE! Love to you and your sweet family.
-
So many things to say… First, Congratulations to all of you!!! Second, Welcome baby Jocelyn!!! I’ll stop there, I’m all goosebumps and tears… I can’t wait to meet her in a few weeks! Give Big Brother Miles a hug from Mrs. Poor!

Just precious. There is absolutely NOTHING in the world like those magical first days with a new little one. Chills. 🙂

I love how you documented this and I wish I would’ve been a photographer when my kiddos were born; but I am now and making up for lost time! 🙂 BEAUTIFUL family and post.
So sweet! Love her bewildered expression in the last one – that will bring some laughs when she gets older! 🙂
love. 🙂
That black & white shot of Miles about to kiss Jocelyn is the cutest ever!! Congratulations!
Oh my gracious–LOVE the newborn wide-eyed look. Killin’ me here! So, so cute!
wow! she has incredible eye contact already! enjoy 🙂
Hey Betsy! Congrats! I am so stoked about your work and the new baby. I had no clue you were doing all this. Greg is a man of few words when it comes to his clients (and friends). I was clued in by Heather Martin last week when Kylie and I went over to help tame and feed the Martin clan. I was telling her about Evan and Kylie’s photo session when she showed me a sample of your work. It is so great! I hope you can photograph our kids and us soon. Hugs!!!
Oh my gosh, the close up of Jocelyn with the flower & the b&w one? So, so sweet. You can just see the connection there. Love it.
Wow, Betsy! Is it creepy to admit that these photos of Miss Joss make my uterus ache? LOL! She is truly beautiful – and of course, that Miles is wonderful. Love the pictures, as always.
3rd one down: is she looking at Miles? My heart just exploded.
Welcome to the Ft Wayne community Jocelyn! You are so fortunate to have John, Betsy and Miles as your family. Everyone at Sold by the Gold celebrates your arrival.
Oh my I already hear him questioning her future boyfriends…such a relationship is going to grow there!
I looooove the 2nd to last one Betsy, so sweet! You have a beautiful family, enjoy the rest of the summer!
Oh my goodness Betsy …. she look sooooo much like you in these pics …. and Miles expression in the first picture is so precious …. what a very blessed family !!
