~~POTW Entry Thread~~

jLeigh0709 · January 2013

~*Welcome to the November 2012 BMB Photo of the Week!*~

This Week's Theme: Happy Birthday! Post a picture of your LO on their birthday. This photo can obviously be from over a month ago. We want to see those brand-new newborns!

Entry Rules: Any November 2012 Momma can play! Take a picture that goes with our theme of the week. Try to submit a photo that has been taken within the past month (unless otherwise stated in the entry thread). Pictures should be a snapshot and not something done in a professional studio. It is okay if you did not personally take the photo, it could be taken by a family member, friend, etc. Then, PIP a picture that goes with the theme of the week into the entry thread. Feel free to add a caption/quote if you'd like. If you have multiples, you may do one entry per child or just one picture of all children.

Here is a tutorial for those of you who are still unsure how to PIP. Scroll down to the section on PIP: https://www.thebump.com/profiles/Ambsies/mybump/mybio

An entry thread will be posted on Mondays. I will repost on Tuesday with a link to the entry thread. . You may enter on either day. You may not post after Tuesday.

Voting: Any November 2012 Momma can vote whether you submitted a photo or not. A voting thread will be posted on Wednesday. I will repost on Thursday with a link to the voting thread. Please vote only once and do not vote for your own photo. You might think your baby is the cutest, but try to pick one that is not your own! The top three Winners will be announced on Friday. A code will be provided to them for a badge they may keep in their siggy for the week.

Get those cameras out and have fun! Feel free to suggest other ideas for POTW.

Here's Matthew right after being weighed and measured. He was very curious about the camera!

ironmom5 · January 2013

I told you all he was born with all that hair!

10Nessie · January 2013

L a couple hours old

ellcore · January 2013

Bright eyed and beautiful. The nurse made a bow for her hat so no one mistaked her for a boy.

ETA: fixed the hugeness

I know right! I was looking at Ms newborn photos and started getting teary. He was so tiny! He doesn't even look the same anymore. How do they change and grow so fast?

tngrl3 · January 2013

So much cuteness already! It's crazy to see how much everyone's little ones have grown in just a few short months. Have to wait til I get home from work to post my pic since the hospital blocks TB! Until then all the adorable baby pics are making my Monday better!

weebos8 · January 2013

My sweet Elias

jholz0603 · January 2013

Some skin to skin time, kangroo style.

katigox · January 2013

My DS was all bundled up, and taking a nap on my chest for like the second time that day - this time, laying on his side (he still loves to sleep like this ) - and the window was behind us, and it just let in the light so beautifully, that my DH snapped this photo ~ and it's now his FB cover art

weebos8: your new family siggy pics are adorable!

DakotaLynGuinn · January 2013

My sweet Grace just seconds after being born

ZoeMay06 · January 2013

My little newbie about 5 minutes old. Love this pic so so much.

laxkal23 · January 2013

all bundled up in the OR. Hard to imagine he was so tiny!

laxkal23 · January 2013

sorry for the three posts I have no idea how that happened

This and that · January 2013

The birthday boy celebrating on his birthday! (Can't believe he used to be not much bigger than the ribbons)

iggywan · January 2013

The moment I first saw her face.

I looove all these pics. You all have some seriously beautiful babies!

StephRN23 · January 2013

Because K wasn't breathing well immediately after being born, I think MH was freaked out too much to remember to take a picture. So this is after she was stabilized in the NICU!

Shermany · January 2013

Looove all the newborn pics!

Finally participating in a POTW. Here is W, in my arms in recovery.

And because I now know how to add pics, here's another

AshleeT92 · January 2013

My precious boy.

danak4 · January 2013

Brand new!

So many great photos but this one actually brought a year to my eye. LO looks so vulnerable and I love your hand right there in comfort. 3

jg1011 · January 2013

We don't have too many from that first day since my LO ended up in NICU after his early entrance due to my pre-e.

kbl13 · January 2013

This was taken once we got back to the room, after recovery. The night-shift nurses knit baby hats during downtime. I love this hat they made for him

angielayne926 · January 2013

Just got cleaned up and checking things out.

tngrl3 · January 2013

Here is Noah right after he was born. We are still in the OR and he is being checked out by the NICU staff. Clearly he is pissed about that. And yes he is in a giant Ziploc bag.

brooke&ryan&baby · January 2013

Aw, I love looking at all the squishy newborn pics and seeing how much everyone's LOs have grown!

Here's B sleeping one arm out style, still his favorite way to sleep!

sara785 · January 2013

After her first bath... because the other pics I have are just gross looking. Haha!

Gargita · January 2013

He came out crying, and kept it up for an hour and a half, sounding just like the bird he was named for. Apgar score of 9! DH snapped these immediately after H was born. The nurse thought she saw meconium - there wasn't any- so he entered the world with an entourage.
