This must be one of the most
beautiful pictures I’ve ever taken. The joy on her face is genuine and it’s
because she’s about to become a mother for the first time.
This is my friend Emma and she is
expecting twins. She has about 8 weeks to go (not sure she’ll last the full
distant) and Shaz and I couldn’t be more pleased for her and her husband.
I’m sure for most (if not all) expectant
mothers, during the latter stages of the pregnancy must be a double edged
sword. One the one hand you must be very anxious to make sure your baby is ok
and on the other hand it’s also a very exciting time at the thought of all the
happiness your baby will bring into your life.
I remember when Shaz was pregnant
with both sets of our twins; I’d spend ages talking to them. Not sure they
understood or even heard me but I wanted to make that connection with them as
early as possible.
The actual births were a bit of a
blur, and I can’t remember much about what happened. I can only really describe
it in feelings and the overwhelming feeling was of joy!
To know the bundle of joy you’re
holding in your arms is your own flesh and blood is emotionally indescribable. To
also know you are now responsible not only for yourself but a totally helpless
human being is daunting to say the least.
And as time goes on, and your
children reach different stages of their lives and each one is a challenge and
a blessing in equal measures it forces you to grow as a human being.
For us our next stage is to see our
girls have children and us to take on the role of grandparents. As for Emma her
journey into motherhood is just about to start and we wish her all the luck in
the world.
