Two!

Sweet – Charming – Funny – Contagious – Adorable – Heart Throb

My Baby just turned Two!

Hard to believe it’s been two years already since that warm January day I walked into the hospital just to check and see if I was in labor.
I’m not one who can risk it, I had my second baby so quick I was afraid I’d sneeze this one out. His birth story is a classic “just like the movies” where I’m laying there one new year’s day, 9 months pregnant with 2 weeks  to go, watching the New Years Day parade when suddenly out of nowhere I was hit with a level 7 contraction, followed by another one 2 minutes later.
I jumped in the shower after the third one (in less than 5 minutes) to see if the hot water would help ease the pressure.  After getting out and realizing they were a minute and a half apart, I called the hospital and warned them I’m coming (HA! wait until you hear the reason behind that one). We jump in the car and head off no more than 45 minutes after the first contraction.
We arrive at the hospital at about 2:45 and with the aid of an amazing Doula, my husband and midwife, I deliver my 9lb 6oz bouncing baby boy at 7:16 pm.

They may be getting taller, but in your heart, they’ll always be your baby.
The way they still crawl into your lap, the way they still say “watch me, Mama!” It’s proof that they are still little, even as they grow.
One day, they’ll be too big to rest their head against your chest.
One day, they’ll stop reaching for you first.
But today, they are still little, still yours in the purest way.
And that deserves to be remembered.
I know it can feel strange to step in front of the camera when your body feels so different.
But these photos aren’t really about your belly, they’re about your becoming.
They’re about strength and surrender, growth and grace, and the miracle of a body doing exactly what it was made to do.
You’re not just carrying a baby, you’re carrying a story.
And that story deserves to be remembered.
Arms full, heart fuller. The newborn days blur by, but there's still space to pause and remember what this season feels like.
That gentle curve under your hands? That’s the beginning of forever.
