I feel like we have reached a new level of hope at 31 weeks, I can't put my finger on just what it is that brings me to this feeling. Maybe it's the Hypnobabies class and the affirmations I have been listening to obsessively on a daily basis. Or maybe, I have truly reached a place of peace and confidence within myself. Whatever it is, I welcome it and it feels good. I know that getting to this place can be very hard for others who have experienced loss, I hope that maybe my ability to feel like I do can give someone else some strength to allow confidence and hope into their own heart.
Yesterday we did something that I wish that we had done while pregnant with Birdie. Take a look right HERE.
Yes, we had a pregnancy photo session and it was absolutely amazing. We had so much fun, and never felt that we couldn't just be ourselves. The photographer that we went to is such a compassionate woman, who is truly gifted, her name is Jessie Passon. I must give her a plug here on the blog, because she takes such lovely images for so many, but also because she is a volunteer photographer for the Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep organization (that is why I chose her to do this for us, she knows how important this pregnancy is.)
This week I will post one of the images she took of us, as she is giving me permission to do so. =)
In the meantime, here are some photos that I took back in March-April. They're medium format photos that I finally got around to having processed and scanned. Some are from our trip to Virginia in March, some are more random. enjoy.

she has captured such a wondrous side of y'all. i often see in your pictures a sadness hiding, and with good reason i'm sure. but it's such a beauty to see you two in those pictures. you look joyous, you look like you're having fun.
and my God, you look beautiful, glowing, full of life, full of baby. I see visually the little spirit that's being knit in your womb, in that secret place.
ohh i just can't take my eyes of you.
Those are gorgeous photos! I love all of them! I can't wait to see the pictures she takes when you are holding sweet little Bunny in your arms, whole and screaming.
Those professional shots are absolutely amazing! I know you guys must be so happy to have them, and you both look wonderful!
Sooooo beautiful. I'm so so happy for you, especially in finding hope again.
Erin: HOw is the book going? I thought of you the other day when I visited the Plymouth Art Guild. They were lovely folks. They have an art show each year and it is held in a very nice historic building. I thought maybe you should submit some of your photo's for them maybe next summer.
You are such a talented artist. I can't help but harrass you about showing your stuff.
I would say that you definitely chose the right photographer. Beautiful photos!
Oh Erin! They were soooo beautiful :) Jessie is very, very talented. I can't wait to see all of them. The boys will be starting school next week...maybe we could get together for lunch? would love to spend some time with you.
Love ya,
