Jenn and I finally met after many months of anticipation, waiting for that belly to grow into a bump we could photograph. I felt like I already knew her after all our communication and emails. It was fun to finally put a face to the person with whom I’d been talking and planning for all this time. And to meet her sweet family too. This is their 4th child on the way, due in less than 2 weeks now.
I’m going to have a lot of time and opportunity to spend with this little one. Baby is another little person whose life I get to commemorate in a series of sessions over the course of the next year – a “Year in the Life” package designed to capture baby’s first 12 months. I think it’s so great when parents want to make sure to get a permanent record of those fleeting months, and I look forward to watching this little one grow up and seeing the kind of little person he or she becomes. Yep. I said he *or* she. We don’t know yet. I am always so amazed by parents who wait to find out! I am not that patient. I didn’t wait a DAY past 20 weeks. In fact I think I left claw marks on the door to the ultrasound room. But I have to admit, it’s pretty exciting. I’m glad somebody else is allowing me the experience of all the anticipation and wondering. I don’t have the strength to hold out on my own.
Whatever baby’s gender turns out to be, he or she will be blessed with 3 big sisters. Three adorable big sisters. I couldn’t pick a favorite if I tried.
Just a few more days until we find out. Blessings on your birth and new baby, Jenn! I can’t wait to meet him or her!
