I have 3 DC 19,16 and 11 we have loads of photos of me and DH with DS1 as a newborn in hospital. We have none of DS2 apart from a Polaroid pic the hospital took I have so much guilt about this we don’t have the first mum and baby pic or the first family pic it’s even worse as we have videos and hundreds of photos of DD.
A bit of context I had DS1 in Cyprus the hospital was 2 1/2 hours away so we had to go soon as any signs of labour so had plenty of time to plan and make sure we had everything including a camera!
Ds2 we lived in Germany hubby was on nights (military) I rang him as I woke in very bad pain said we need to go it was a panic as I was bleeding and in bad pain got to the hospital and 20 minutes later he was born we forgot the camera! We had a really old photo phone but never got them pics off there I feel so guilty we don’t have his first 24 hours on camera. DD iPhones and digital cameras we have a lot of her.
He already feels middle child syndrome I’m dreading hun realising we literally have no newborn photos of him Irrational or not?
