Professional Christmas photos

I have been feeling some guilt that I haven't taken and professional pictures yet.  I know I take enough pictures but I get anxiety when I think of taking her to JCPenny.  I already sent out my Christmas cards (that's another story) so I didn't think to get pictures in her Christmas dress.  I looked online at JCPenny and it was so simple to make the appointment online, why haven't I don't think sooner.  For a week I was stressing.  I wanted to have her do a outfit change into her Christening outfit because on the day we never got a good picture.  So last night Vera said why don't you have a photo shoot at home with her Christening outfit and just do the Christmas dress, whew I felt a little less stressed.  My stress was due to her eating schedule, will she get cranky picture time, will she be tired & will she spit up on her Christmas dress.
That morning I decided to take her to get her blood drawn, you ask why I don't know.  I really want to see what she is allergic to and Christmas is coming up I have no time.  I went to Lab Corp and wanted to take off the moment I walked in.  This little kid not being watched by his mother got burnt because his mother was watching her other 5 kids.  Another little baby was screaming at the top of her lungs, then her mother was putting her in her snow suit with no pants on.  So Londyn nurse didn't want to take her blood because she was too small, is this really happening.  Long story short Londyn was perfect she didn't make a peep when the large needle was going into her.  Just like when I was little, I remember watching the blood go into the vial and not being scared.  When I got my stitches on my chin after taking a bad fall in the bathtub I watched them sew up my chin.  My mother said what I good 4yr old I was and how I didn't cry.  I said well I was crying on the inside, how cute.
Anyway I had asked Josh if he would come with me so I have some support while getting these pictures taken.  Of course this isn't something I want to add to this blog but things happen.  Londyn had her first fall and we had our first scare.  She was on the chair as Josh had his hand in front of her but didn't realize the big space in between them.  We turned our eyes for 1 second and Londyn fell off the chair.  She cried for about 2 minutes then was laughing, my girl is so tough.  The photo shoot went fairly well.  She didn't look at the camera much but the pictures came out pretty good.  The photographer and assistant were both trying to get her attention so I think she was a little confused.  I felt so much better after the whole ordeal.  Of course we liked 6 shots so we ordered a lot of pictures.  I think I'll wait for her first birthday to do this again.
I'll post photos when I get the chance to get there and pick them up.
