i guess i'm one of those.

i vowed i wouldn't be one of those people who flooded their facebook page with photos of their baby. you know... those people, that after giving birth, they lose their identity. what happened to the photos of road trips? artwork? pets? sexy self portraits? but on july 21, my daughter was born. and i changed. though, not immediately. in the hospital i was still very adamant about limiting the amount of internet exposure i would give to photos of my newborn. i felt overly protective and private. needless to say, i was also without a camera and in lots of postpartum pain.

i love photography. i miss it. i used to walk the farm grounds daily with my camera. taking photos of baby goats chatting, baby chickens hatching, dogs digging holes, horses laughing, ducks and geese clowning. i love capturing moments. i especially anthropomorphic ones. but during the last few months of pregnancy, it was impossible. it was too hot. i was too big and too tired.

when i returned home from the hospital, for the first week, i held fast to my baby-net-posting restrain. i only posted a few photos on my facebook page. you know, to prove that i really did give birth.

since it is was still the middle of missouri-hell-hot summer and i was supposed to be taking it easy, i wasn't able to spend much time outside with the animals. but i missed my camera. so i took a couple shots of my daughter. and so it began...

here i am 6 weeks later. trying very hard to resist the urge to post another photo. and failing. and didn't i already post one yesterday? i even try tricks like including the dogs in the photos. to make them more legit. i guess i'm one of those people now.

oy vey!
