Last week, I took an evening to take maternity photos
for mr and mrs g
I need to hurry and post ...her due date is tomorrow!
Before you were born I carried you
under my heart.
From the moment you arrived in this world until
the moment
I leave it,
I will
always carry you
in my heart.
-- Mandy Harrison
A great Joy
is coming.

Life is always a rich and steady time
when you are waiting for something to happen or to
hatch.

"The
instant of birth is exquisite.
Pain
and joy are one
at this moment.
Ever
after, the dim recollection is so sweet
that
we speak to our children
with
a gratitude
they never understand."
Madline Tiger
We are in the final days,
when I go to bed with the telephone close by,
wondering at each ring if it "is time?"
I am remembering my moments of giving birth.
I am terrified for my girl, knowing what she will endure.
I am confident that she can do it...as women for all time have done it.
I am excited beyond measure to see my girl with her girl in her arms;
knowing that she will never be the same.
knowing that she will now experience a love that I have only been able to tell her about,
with words that were completely inadequate.
(I tear up just thinking about it)
I am thankful for the One who created motherhood,
and who has my girl and her girl in HIS hand.
