Baby/Mama Selfie Photography Tutorial

Not to brag, but turns out that half of my photos on my computer are selfies of me posing with my baby. Which pretty much makes me the internet's foremost authority on baby/mama selfie technique. Need inspiration for your own failing selfie game? You've come to the right place.

First, there's the "of course I'm not just using this baby as a prop for my vain selfie"

The "my baby just pooped all over himself and I had to strip him down naked in a restaurant bathroom while muttering curse words, but luckily I found a clean onesie in my diaper bag...but no pants."

The "Oh hello, didn't see you there, we just woke up like this." (I didn't)

The "He's on to me"

The "Maybe this light will look really artsy and cool"  (It didn't)

The one-day-home-from-the-hospital "pretending to be asleep...if only..."

The "Basking in the warmth of a new baby"

The "the warmth is wearing off..."

The "Seriously, what warmth? I haven't seen the sun or left my house in weeks"

The "I've made a huge mistake..."

The "Crazy eyes" (a Luke specialty)

The "If I braid my hair like this no one will notice I haven't washed it in 4 days"

The "Bosom pillow"

The "I need an excuse to document the fact that I got dressed today for the first time in 4 months."

The "it seemed funny when we were sleep deprived"

and of course, the always classy "He just barfed down my shirt."

Feel free to borrow any of my poses but please, when you are treasuring your photos for years to come, don't forget I was the mastermind who inspired you.

How to be a super supportive medical school wife

If your husband is in medical school, he is going to need a lot of great love and support from you to make it through the hard days and the hard years. So, try to be extra patient and loving. Try to have a hot, home cooked meal ready for him when he gets home after a long day. Try to rub his feet and lend a listening ear and build up his shattered self esteem when he struggles.

Or, if you can't do any of those things because you are, in fact, a totally lame wife who can't get her crap together (and also thinks man feet are gross), just follow my example.

When all else fails, go with the snake in a sombrero.
