a moment in time

Only a few more weeks and this family of three will become a family of four. To me, there is nothing like the few weeks before and after the birth of a child. I’m not sure how do describe it, but time seems to run differently and the air seems thicker….thick with excitement and anticipation and wonder and love. These few weeks only happen a few times in a lifetime. I always find myself wanting to grab onto them and freeze them forever. Thank goodness for cameras! This little guy has no idea what he’s in for. Thankfully with the birth of a second child parental love doesn’t divide itself.….instead, almost miraculously, it multiplies, wrapping each child in a love that is stronger than it was before. There is almost nothing in the world more amazing and beautiful to me than a pregnant belly. Serious beauty.
