Nesting

Monday, May 10, 2010

I have roughly 9 weeks left before the new baby is born.  We have chosen not to find out the sex of baby, so there is not much shopping that I can do, but I have bought the basics (just to fulfill this nesting feeling that is tugging at my heart)!

I cannot wait to kiss those ten fingers and ten toes that have been moving and kicking in my belly.  This second time around, I look forward to being more confident as a mother and enjoying this new baby.  I have a different view this time around, more of a calm waiting, since I know what to expect.

And of course, I am reminded how my love for photography deepened after the birth of my daughter.  My view of the world changed, my priorities shifted.  I am curious about what will be different this time around – how will this child affect my passion?

I don’t have the answers right now, but I hope to document my experience in this space.  I look forward to opening my heart to this new baby.

so funny – i thought the other day “wonder how she will photograph stuff re: new baby” & obviously, you’re having the same thought! I’m not surprised @ how soft & beautiful the new baby stuff looks – everything you touch turns into an awesome picture! Blessings! :-)

Yay! You are so close! I am expecting a new nephew in early June, which is my brother’s second. And my second will be 9 months next week – I can’t believe it. Time goes twice as fast with two, I think, and I’m still trying to figure out how to balance my time with two. But it is getting a little easier.

Your photos are as beautiful as always.
