Tatum Ross || newborn pictures

later this week our sweet tatum will be two whole months!
it's seriously flown by, but one thing i don't have a single regret about is i have truly slowed down and cherished this time that tends to go by in a blink.
a third baby will do that to ya. 
life seems to just get busier, but with each baby that has come, i realized how quick it really does go and i have zero regrets of all the time spent holding and cuddling him.
HE IS THE SWEETEST.
looking back through these, my heart swells with love + gratitude.
tatum was a whole thirteen days old in these.
SO MUCH LOVE.
he was so new to us and yet his two older siblings welcomed him and loved on him as though they've known him all along.
he's the sweetest thing i know. 
this last picture right here freezes time for me. like he's looking right into my eyes. the time and that moment stands so still, with everything else around us in the world spinning so quick.

we love you tatum! what a blessing you are to our family. God gifted us the best gift this year and here we go headed into our first christmas season with you. you make it so extra beautiful and magical.

maternity pics || tatum belly

oh how i miss this tatum belly!
it's my favorite thing in the world to have a newborn, BUT it's also my favorite thing to have a belly.
just love it. pregnancy is so special to me. 
i always miss my baby bump after my babies have been born.
i never got around to sharing these before tatum was born, so here we have it now :)
these are some of my most favorite pictures. ever.
these were just a week and a half before tatum was born.
somehow time seems to just stand still.
reminiscing now has got me feeling all the feels.
imagining our little tatum in there before we even knew him. and now we've had him here in our arms for five whole weeks.

it was kinda a last minute deal to quick get with kristal and snap a few pics.
and SO GLAD i did.
she is so talented + the light that evening was breathtaking.
