I am not sure where the best place to post this would be, but I just finished my A/S and baby has mild urinary tract dilation? I guess it is common and typically resolved on its own. Does anyone have any experience with this?
I just looked up prices for newborn photo shoots - $600? Some over $1000? And they come with only 25 edited images? Am I crazy to think that's a lot? Do I bite the bullet because those are nice memories, or do I try doing it on my own? We have a DSLR camera, and while those outfits are pretty cute, I am pretty sure I can put a flowery headband and wrap by baby in a scarf myself... Anyone have an opinion?
@ab_canada My friend is a photographer who actually did our wedding when it was a side business for her. Now that her kids are a bit older (her first kid was still nursing when she did our wedding), she's doing it full time - but her rates are still quite reasonable. It's $300 for a maternity and newborn session - each an hour long. Everything else I"m finding is wayyyyy expensive though.
My random for the week is that I realized that it's the first of FOUR weeks that I only have a four-day work week - yahooooo! I'm traveling every weekend for the next three weekends and then have Labor Day off as well. I'm going to be tired from all the travel, but it's all fun stuff like weddings and visiting friends and family in other states.
@ab_canada I think that sounds a little high to me. I can’t remember how much we paid, but I know we paid $500 for just our printed album (which included a mix of our maternity and newborn pics). Photography is just so expensive! I think @gorgeousariel is a newborn photographer. She’d probably give some good feedback!
@katy0990 a few women said they've dealt with mild kidney dilation. One said two of her children had swelling in the kidneys because of urine backup, and one of her children's resolved at 36 weeks gestation, and the other resolved shortly after birth (which was confirmed by U/S). Another said her daughter's was resolved by birth, but she is followed by a pediatric urologist due to her other issues (kidney duplication & ureteroceles) A third said her son's didn't resolve until about 6 months after birth, but still resolved on his own and only required two ultrasounds after birth.
Sounds like it is relatively common, and not a big deal (in the grand scheme of things).
@ab_canada I wouldn't pay that. My SIL does photography on the side, and she did newborn pics of my daughter at about 1 week old. I hate those pictures. She looks weird, and I just don't think she looks like her. I'm super thankful my SIL did it for free, but I'm so glad I didn't pay money for them.
I feel like that is normal these days. People have majorly jacked up their prices for newborn photos. The people I have issues going to are those who you have given a ton of business to, they did my kids 1st bday (their first photo session like this) and when I came back as a repeat customer each year went up 200k. Out of principal I can't use them.

@ab_canada Whoa! That seems like a lot to me, but I can't speak to Canadian prices.
...buuuut I just looked back in my Mint account and I think we paid $200 for our newborn session. (But maybe $250–there's another $50 charge that I suspect was my deposit.) I didn't leave clear notes My maternity session was $80 for a mini-session (30 minutes) but she definitely shot closer to 45 minutes/an hour.
Thanks for the reminder to get on with scheduling some fall family photos! I think I'll ask for a couple of solo pictures of bump shots, but I don't think I'll do a dedicated maternity session this time. Sorry, LO. Second child syndrome is real already.
@ab_canada that definitely sounds high! I have ours booked for $250 we get a 3 hour session and 40 edited images with digital download. Each kid I've had a different photographer because the one before goes WAY up in price. I look for photographers starting their business, trying to get her name out there, you can still get some good pictures for way less than the known photographers. However, when you go back to use them it's possible their fees have sky rocketed. I usually find them through friends liking different photographers on facebook.
Shit, I guess I should schedule family pictures for the fall, too, huh. Though honestly we did our Christmas card photos ourselves last year and while the actual experience was a mess, the result was hilarious and the most commented on card we've ever sent out, so ...
If the cost is too much, you might be able to find a student or someone just starting out to do them for less.
@ab_canada I am a newborn photographer. For a good photographer those prices are totally reasonable. How comfortable are you with your camera? Do you use it on full manual or auto? I can work with you so you get more comfortable if you want. Or I can ask around and see if I can find some photographers in your area.
@Jens_Hoes Thank you! I really appreciate the information. We went through a hellish experience with my anatomy ultrasound with DS. He had multiple markers for downs, and none of the testing came back completely conclusive, so the rest of my pregnancy was extremely stressful. So, today, when I got this information on this LO, it brought all of that back. Thankfully, DS is completely healthy, but In a way I feel like I already had my one freebie scare and I hope this time the baby doesn’t have any issues. @ab_canada we had my sons newborn photos done by the hospital Photographer. We paid $180 for the rights to all 15-20 of the images. For this baby, we will use our family photographer, who I found on FB a couple years ago. She charges $80/session and sends me all images.
@texas_t In Calgary, which is a big enough city to have lots of expensive things, but not so big to attract competition to make things a bit cheaper (at least that's how it feels). @hoosiermama-2 I would gladly pay $250. I was thinking I am willing to splurge ~$300, so these prices just caught me off guard. @snugglyduckling25 I think that's the way to go - get someone who is still starting out but is hopefully good enough already to get some good shots. @gorgeousariel Thanks, that's sweet of you! I think my sister would be pretty comfortable with manual mode. She isn't a photographer, but she is an artist and uses a DSLR for her work. Maybe I will ask her if she would feel comfortable taking them. In the end, I guess I would be willing to pay the money because these are pictures to last a lifetime.
@ab_canada I'm actually flying a photog friend from my DS1's bump group who lives in Canada to Dallas for newborn pics! She's amazing but lives near Alberta We paid $450 for DS1's newborn pics, btw
@katy0990 my friends daughter had an almost complete closure plus other kidney issues I believe the tube resolved a few months after birth. No medical attention needed until this year for the other issues, she is ten. They had a procedure to help relieve stress to the kidney. They were very happy with the results and said it will always need checked, she recovered super fast and is your typical active kid!! It sounded like your doctor said it was a mild case? Scary to hear no matter what. I would hope for the best that is resolves before you meet baby!!
Re: new born pictures I wouldn’t be able to spend that much but I do believe you get what you pay for. My family photographer is very inexpensive for her time (newborn was 3 hours, lots of breaks for nursing, diapers, etc.) but you have to buy the prints from her. So I always tell my DH it’s only 150.00 and keep the receipt for the pictures separate! We use an other photographer for Christmas photos because it’s a mini with digital images, it’s 150.00 as well, 30 minutes, 10-15 pics. Printing myself I usually still end up spending in the 150.00 - 200.00 range. (We do an ornament for all of the families in our family instead of a card)
@ab_canada Re: newborn pics, we tried to skimp on price last time with a woman who was just starting her business and I was so disappointed with how the photos turned out. I will either be paying more this time or skipping them altogether and taking some shots myself. I'm leaning toward splurging on them because, even though I take plenty of nice pics of my DD and know my way around a camera, I can't take shots of me and my husband and a newborn, and my husband isn't very skilled in terms of taking shots of me with the baby.
AFM, I'm feeling better today than I was on Friday. I think I'm just really overworked and exhausted and my husband is too, so we're not able to take the burden off of each other as much as we usually would because we're both completely tapped out. But all in all, feeling okay! Thanks again for all the support.
As for randoms, here's a very random thing - my husband's friend got a SKUNK as a pet for his children. I am...in shock about it, lol. It's been "de-scented" so it can't spray and it is very cute and everything but um, also, it is a skunk. I can't stop thinking about it, haha.
@ab_canada being in canada $600 is about the going rate for someone with a good reputation and a lot of experience.
I put some feelers out on a local parents group and got some recommendations of more “amateur” photographer. I looked at all given, gathered prices and looked at their photos. The one I’ve booked is about $300 and she’s going to come into our home.
Id suggest reaching out for suggestions and getting someone newer but who take photos you like.
the original photographer I picked was about $1200!!! Then I found a lady starting out and the photos were beautiful!! She’s now charging a lot more but also moved away so I had to find a new one for this baby.
My husband and I made significant progress on the nursery this weekend and we started talking about all sorts of future-related stuff. He said a couple things that made me feel like he has some gender disappointment. We're both thrilled to have a boy and know that we are going to love this little guy SO MUCH, but he really wants a girl. As silly as it seems, I feel kind of bad that I couldn't give him a little girl and that I have no control over something like that. We're planning on having two so there's still a chance for the next one, but I just know that he loves little girls so much. That sounds creepy, but I promise it isn't. Girls under 18 and he just get along really well. I call it his "target demographic." Mine is men in their 40s lol. They adore him and hang off every word he says. Anyway, I just am feeling a little sad today that we're having a boy even though I'm so crazy thrilled for this little baby in my belly.
@binxybaby Sorry your H has a touch of the disappointment! I think mine is still surprised about our boy, I’m extra excited because I didn’t want a girl. We don’t really talk about anything gendered though, so we might as well really be Team Surprise like our families think we are
Re: Photography I usually pay about ~$200 USD for a few shots, we just use them for low res holiday cards. I often choose student photographers if I like their portfolio diversity. I see too many portfolios that look the same. And same makes me sad. I need to email a gal today actually, I’m trying to book a little shoot when the leaves start changing, but I don’t know what weekend to pick, ack!

Also to add to newborn photography... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not just go with the cheapest. Newborn safety should always be #1 concern with any photographer. You don't want to put your baby in the hands of someone who has little experience and "just starting out" just to save a buck.
@gorgeousariel I agree you need to do your homework but you can definitely go with someone who is considered starting out who still has an extensive portfolio with newborns and kids of their own! Homework is key !
@binxybaby Aw, FWIW, DH and I were both hoping for another girl. Of course, we're grateful for this baby boy but just a reminder that the tinge of disappointment is common.
Yay for nursey progress! I did a lot of online browsing this weekend for LO's dresser. Phew. Dresser shopping sucks.
Hey,... I’ve been in lurk mode for the last few weeks (and wasn’t even browsing the bump a week or two before then). Been really busy & tired adjusting to full time work from basically being a SAH-cat-M. Lol.
Reading this thread I have mild guilt that I haven’t even considered photos yet. We didn’t last time, just had my mom take some with her DSLR (she does a lot of photography) and they turned out well. There are so many things to do and I’m drowning in work and can’t even bring myself to add anything else to the list.
Heyyyyy @tumbleweed-1! Can't wait to hear about the job.
@Katzalia ditto on not thinking about photos. I mean they're cute, but I doubt we'll get them. Maybe a family photo for a birth announcement or a happy New Year card....
@tumbleweed-1 We missed you! How's the new worky work?
Today was another let's-see-how-much-money-we-can-spend-in-one-day day. We closed on an investment property this afternoon and I ran all of the errands afterward. Tonight (after our leftover pizza dinner) I decided that I just need a car cover to protect my car from the neighbor's sappy coniferous tree. I don't look forward to uncovering and covering my car each day, but hey - if it keeps the sap off of the new paint I will gladly spend $40 for that chore. Just wish the daytime highs were lower, so I could detail my car for a few hours without getting a heatstroke. I'm so exciting

@Katzalia and @katy0990 thanks! I’m a working cat mom now, lol. My previous post might have been confusing.
The new job is great! The school actually gives us support staff in the classroom and I feel like they really care more about the wellbeing of the staff and students. Other childcare places I’ve worked at in the past have been about the numbers- the bottom line.
My cat is adjusting to me being gone 40 hours a week.
Other random news: I need to get better about meal planning and some sort of housekeeping routine too. I can finally enjoy salsa again- perfect timing too with ripe garden peppers and tomatoes. We are on the last week of our summer roommate (a friend of mine in our city for a work advancement program). It’s been a long 10 weeks and it’s been a strain on myself & SO. He’s ready to go back to normal life with just the two of us, and I’m SO ready to make the nursery. I’m dying- I want my 2cd bedroom empty!
Hey, @tumbleweed-1, great to have you back! Glad to hear the job is going well. I hope your Cat baby isn’t too upset with you.
We came home to 2 tubs of baby boy clothes (so cute!), so I sifted through those after my long nap. I sorted them into lights and darks and had a hard time not starting baby laundry tonight. Ya know, I figured I should probably start my family’s laundry, considering we’ve been traveling for the past 5 days. Priorities suck, man.
@morgantu I've been thinking about doing a baby announcement/holiday card/newborn photography combo thing. But I probably need to move from "thinking about it" to actually figuring out the details and how that would all work, at some point, haha.
@maureenmce lol, true. I have been stalling on everything that 'seems' far away, including getting photos and baby shower stuff. My friend who offered to host just gave me a sit down over the weekend to make me pick date/venue/ etc. I'm just wishy washy about even wanting that stuff so I think Im just hoping it goes away lol
Sorry this is kind of late and out of nowhere. I typed everything up last night and then H forced me to watch Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with him before I could attach my pictures!
I'm on my computer finally, so I will give my two cents on the high costs of fancy photography! For me, the investment is worth it. I mean, obviously shop around for someone whose portfolio you love and whose price works with your budget. I really wouldn't go with someone who provides a certain number of edited photos, but that's just me and I guess I can't give a good reason why, other than, I want a lot of photos. I spent a pretty penny on our engagement/wedding photos and maternity/newborn photos for our son, and I'm so, so glad. It hurts writing the check, but looking back at the pictures I can't remember how much they cost and honestly I don't care.
I'll spoiler some of my son's photos because I love them so much. The photographer was supposed to do a first 24 hours shoot, but with my son's NICU stay it didn't work out, so she did this around-the-house shoot after he was home and off oxygen. I love that it's a lot more natural than the posed newborn photography you see a lot. (Not that there's anything wrong with that! My MIL was also flying in a family friend to do that a few weeks after his birth but again, didn't happen!)
Now I'm trying to figure out what to do for this current pregnancy. I guess some maternity photos would be nice for posterity But H leaves for his work trip mid-September and will be super busy finishing his dissertation up until then (like, he's so busy that I essentially solo-parent on the weekends, whine whine). I'd love to have some birth photos taken but the one photographer I love has been super slow to respond to FB messages and being weirdly dodgy about telling me prices. Also, I'm not sure about how I feel about birth photography for me personally. My mom took a bunch of photos when I was in labor with the chubs you see above, but I literally haven't ever been able to face looking at them. Don't know if that's a "ew weird" thing or a "I don't want to remember that day" thing.

@PensiveCrayon I was really hesitant to look at any of the days of labor/birth/c-section photos, too. Then, DS and I were talking about where the baby will be born, so I pulled them out to show him and I actually enjoyed showing him.
Re: Weekly Randoms 8/13-8/17
It sounds like they were unconcerned?
Do I bite the bullet because those are nice memories, or do I try doing it on my own? We have a DSLR camera, and while those outfits are pretty cute, I am pretty sure I can put a flowery headband and wrap by baby in a scarf myself...
