not enough pictures of my second child :(

[fmanzo]

Hi everyone!

My name is Frances and I am a mother of two gifts from god! My 10 year old beautiful girl and my 4 year old handsome boy.

When my daughter was born i took pictures of her every minute, month, year etc. When my son was born I did not take as many pictures. I feel like a horrible mother and have no clue how to explain it to him when he asks when he is older. Not to make any excuses but I have a full time job and attend school full time as well. I do not have enough time in a day for myself yet alone to take pictures of my baby boy! I feel like I lost the opportunity to capture some of his precious milestones i.e. first step, first time eating REAL food, first hair cut, etc....

Have any other mothers with multiple kids experienced this? I need some words of encouragement.

I found my self not having very many photos of my 4th baby. Most of his pictures where downloaded to my husbands computer, not printed when it crashed. The lifesaver for me was to start scrapbooks for each boy. You only need a few pics per page and cute embleshments. I even used  5x7 or 8x10 photos from walmart / jcpenney  on pages. I have spent more time on his book being creative and as far as the 1st born having soooo many photos you still only scrapbook a few per page, everyone came out equal. The books are still behind, but the boys love to pull them out to show them off to friends and family.
