When I was carrying my children taking maternity photos was not a popular trend. There were generally just a few random baby shower shots. Or maybe we just never really gave it as much thought since we were just so occupied with work, etc. Sadly- those days can't be returned to us - and our brain's memories have to be our photographs. (I know our maternity clothing was not attractive..lol...maybe one reason we avoided cameras..hahaha.)
It is amazing just how something so simple as a photograph can touch your heart. The range of emotions a photograph can stir up can be so mixed. I am not just referring to the one this morning, but photos in general. They bring to mind so many memories, some good, some sad, some bad. They can conjure up tears, smiles, and laughter. They show where you have come from, and how you persevered when facing life. They show things often missed in the moment. I hope we don't always need photos to remind us to not miss the moments. Time is so funny- it often feels as if it drags, and other times it feels as if it flies by, but regardless of which occurs, it cannot be recaptured.
The picture today showed so much promise. I look so forward to seeing the rest of the pictures from the photo session. I look for more to your arrival and all the promise that life will bring your way even more, and when I am older and the mind is not as sharp, I will have the photographs to bring those memories back to mind.
