My friend, Ellen is getting into photography and asked if I would be willing to let her take some maternity pictures for her portfolio. I was a little hesitant because I'm usually dodging the camera when I'm pregnant, especially the last few weeks.
But then I remembered. This is probably our last baby. And there's something so sacred and beautiful about having a new life grow inside of you.
As ready as I am to be done with the pregnancy, I'll kinda miss waking up at night and feeling his little feet pushing against me, like he's saying, "Hey, are you awake? Just wanted to make sure, because I am." I always feel a little flutter of excitement that he's still alive in there and that he'll be coming to meet us soon.
It's all such a miracle. We have been as excited about this baby coming as we were with our first.
And second, third and fourth, now that I think about it.
Hopefully, these photos will help us remember the magic of pregnancy, and what a privilege it was that God allowed me to bear children so easily. I know it doesn't come easily for so many people, so I really am grateful.
Thanks for the opportunity, Ellen!
