It’s attached to me | WW
Disclosure: I am participating in the Verizon Ambassadors SE Voices program and have been provided with a wireless device in exchange for my honest opinions about the product.
I admit it. I’m addicted to my iPhone. It’s pretty much always attached to me. After our crazy unplanned unassisted home birth, I’m so thankful it was and is. I took it from room to room with me because it had my relaxation and birth affirmations playing non-stop from the time my water broke and my contractions started to the time B was born. It seriously didn’t leave my side (the battery didn’t even cough at this, either).
Then, it was right there and handy when B arrived and we had to call the midwife and then 911. See? So glad it was there.
And, glad it was there to capture those very first pictures because in those moments, I don’t even know where my camera was! Both Mr. Serious and I used our iPhones to capture her pictures as well as make important phone calls.
Mr. Serious actually took my phone in the van with him to the hospital. I felt so naked. I wanted to snap a million pictures of my newest little girl. And, I couldn’t. As soon as we got to the hospital, we were both snapping away.
{B getting some more skin-to-skin time. They were all about this. They didn’t even put a diaper on her…which was fun when she pooped!}
{I don’t know what upset her, but I think this was her first really good cry.}
{First snuggles with grandma…just hours old.}
Then, once we were back home, I was able to capture a little more of the every day. I know I need to get out the big girl camera, but I keep track of my nursing sessions with my phone, so it is still literally an arm’s length away.
{Two big girls that really missed their daddy.}
{This one can’t get enough of her newest little sister. She came in our room and leaned in and kissed B. Then said “I just can’t stop kissing her mommy!” And then I melted into a puddle.}
{Miss E. Always wanting to be a big girl. She grabbed her sister’s shoes while she was at school and walked around in them. Proud of herself is an understatement.}
{New year. Trying to get back on the fitness wagon. I hope to be joining in in a couple more weeks once I get released. Even E and N participated. #1 did it the day before and was taking a break.}
They aren’t always perfect pictures, but my iPhone allows me the chance to snap a picture quickly and easily. Even though Mr. Serious often hates that it’s so close to me, I’m glad I was able to capture these pictures and these moments.
If you are looking to upgrade your phone with Verizon, you can check out Verizon Edge which allows you to upgrade your phone before without a service contract.
Congrats on your beautiful blessing 🙂 I so know how you feel with having your phone with you at all times–I now carry an extra charger to make sure I don’t miss a thing 🙂
Aww congrats on the baby she is beautiful. I wish I had a nice enough phone that I could use it to snap decent pictures. Right now I try to keep both glued to me all the time, would be nice to only have to bring one.
what a cute post with precious pictures! I cannot go without my iPhone either – your not alone!
I to have my phone every where I go, it is very rarely far from me 🙂
Beautiful girls you have
Awww giving me baby fever!!! I love my iphone too. What did we do before all this great technology? lol
Kas
you are correct these are great pictures. It’s great our phones can do this good with photos.
Love your photos. I am never far from my iPhone! Ever!
I am with you – I am LOST when I don’t have my iPhone with me. I snap pictures with my phone constantly, so I am pretty much attached at the hip to my iphone.
first of all, congrats. she’s beautiful.
second, please tell your mom she does NOT look like a grama.
lastly, i love my iphone for the same reasons, because its handy…i just hate the camera on mine 🙁
Well it looks like a very good reason to be attached to your phone. Congrats, beautiful children!!!
I have an iPhone addiction too! Its just to handy for snapping quick pictures of things that happen spur of the moment!
We have Verizon, I will have to look into this. I haven’t even seen a commercial for this option yet …. you are the first I have read about it. There’s nothing I would like more than to have an available option to upgrade cell earlier…. Thank you for sharing this info and look at that precious baby! Adorable family!
I cannot survive without my iPhone either! I swear it’s mainly because I feel the need to take a picture of just about everything and anything. It’s crazy how much we depend on technology these days.
My phone goes everywhere with me, too. What a fun story to read about. I’m a home birthin’ mommy, though on purpose. 😉
I’ve been a loooooong time Verizon customer (my mom worked for them for 23 years.) And this past summer I finally transitioned to an iPhone. I’m lost without it.
I am just like you! I always have my phone with me for pictures. Your precious little one is so, so sweet!!!
It was obviously a blessing that you keep your phone so near. You can just keep reminding Mr. Serious of that! How’d you pull off having all four kids be so adorable?
i’m pretty good about waiting for my upgrade to come. my husband on the other hand is so impatient, he should look into this
Congratulations once again! I love these pictures. Huge fan of Verizon. I have been with them for years.
that’s an amazing birth story. I’ve actually heard a lot of camera companies can’t cell their cameras anymore because iphones are as good or better than the digital cameras they have out. they are going to have to survive off of really high end cameras.
I love my iPhone too! I have withdrawals when I cant check my email as sad as it sounds! I think your bundle of joy is soo cute!!
Oh my goodness – she is precious! Congratulations! I am the same way – always taking pictures with my phone LOL. I hardly ever dust off the DSLR anymore!
I LOVE my iPhone. I’ve had several upgrades since I first got my iPhone and every time my husband talks me into trying a different phone (Windows Phone and a Droid) and after a month I always wind up switching back to my iPhone!
What a cute family you have–I love that last picture:)
They are all so adorable! You have a beautiful family. 🙂
the oldest with the youngest? the best. literally. the best!
You iPhone captured some seriously priceless images. I am still so excited for your family’s newest addition. Beautiful!
I find that I OFTEN take photos with my phone instead of camera now becuase I always have it- very easy to grab.
I’ve been resisting getting a smart phone because I’m worried I’ll get addicted to it. This post is definitely weakening my resolve, lol! Btw, adorable pics!! Your girls are so beautiful. I hope the transition from 3 to 4 is going as smoothly as possible!
I would be lost without my phone! Love all the pics! 🙂
Seriously, the phones are our camera nowadays lol i have so many pics and i have to upload them to print out too! i have no pics of my 2nd girl, they are all on the camera! Beautiful kids and love that they are in love with the new addition! i am so worried about how they will act when the baby bro comes along!
Those are all such wonderful moments captured in pictures! Your family is precious. What a blessing they are!
what cute and sweet pictures 🙂
glad yall are doing great !!!
