Erin's POV
*we have been home from the hospital with Nathan for 4 days now and today we are having our newborn baby session here at the house and I'm so excited! Nathan decided to wake up at 5:35 am crying so I picked him up and have him some milk and then he fell asleep again in my arms and i jsut couldn't take the risk of laying him down incase he cried again*
2 hours later
*its been 2 hours and Nathan is still asleep in my arms . I managed to get some sleep but not as much as I wanted but that's life with a newborn my alarm went off at 8am which means I had to start getting ready so I woke up jay to see if he could hold nathan cause I tried to lay him down and he started to cry again*
Erin:jay !
Jay:yeah ?
Erin:can you hold Nathan he won't sleep unless he's being gold
Jay:oh yeah
*jay took Nathan and I got in the shower before getting dressed*

*I put this dress on and I curled my hair and did some makeup before putting on a pair of air Forces and then I walked into my bedroom and Nathan was awake laying in his pack n play while jay got changed into jeans and a white shirt*Erin:good morn...

Chantelle:sounds good ! I can start with some solo shots of Nathan as he seems pretty content right now

Jay:k
*I gave Nathan some more milk and then I laid him down in his bassinet and he fell asleep ! He was such a good baby this morning and I couldn't be any happier!*
An hour later
*jay was in the shower when I heard the door bell ring so I opened it and here was Bri with our food !*
Bri:good morning Halstead's !
Erin:hey Bri ! Aren't you supposed to be at the cafe ?
Bri:yes but I saw your order come in and I had to come deliver it cause I wanted to see Nathan
Erin:come in ! He's currently asleep but you can still see him
*we walked into the living room and Bri said hi to Nathan and then she had to run so I got the food out of the bag and I started eating when I got a notification from Chantelle saying the photos were ready and that they were sent to my drive so I opened them and immediately downloaded them and posted them on Instagram*

*I put this dress on and I curled my hair and did some makeup before putting on a pair of air Forces and then I walked into my bedroom and Nathan was awake laying in his pack n play while jay got changed into jeans and a white shirt*Erin:good morn...
