A baby is God’s opinion that the world should go on.

I know they have been waiting and waiting for these pictures and bless their hearts, have been very patient with me. Sometimes life gets in the way of things actually getting done around here. But at last, as I sit here and sort through these images, I smile, from ear to ear.

First at the sight of a momma to be. Having her picture made. For the memories of what it looked like to be pregnant. Of that beautiful being inside. A beautiful being that has a crib, and a rocking chair and a pretty room, painted perfectly,  just waiting for her arrival. A little sister that seems a little nervous about the whole prospect of mommy having another one (I would be nervous if I was two years old) A daddy that doesn’t seem nervous at all, but content.  Of a momma who seemed equally as content, but admitted to being a little nervous about leaving the house with two children. I told her she doesn’t have to leave for the first 6 months at least.

And then as I keep sorting…..I smile

At the sight of new baby.

I’m a lucky girl you see.

I get to hold new babies all the time.

And then I have to make them go to sleep, and then I have to contort them and they wake up again. And then they have to go back to sleep so I can start rearranging them all over again. This little girl did not want to sleep. But, that’s ok. I got to stay there and smell that baby smell all that much longer. Baby smell is the most beautiful smell in the world.

 Thank you guys for your patience. I really appreciate it!!
