birth story
Being pregnant again has gotten me thinking about the coming birth. I wanted to record Lowell’s… and I’m thinking of making an entire memory book out of the jungle george freebie kit by Andrea. It probably isn’t very creative of me to use only one kit (plus random other elements) for an entire book but I am really in love with these papers, colors, and polka-dots. For now, I’m also using others’ templates but I think that will help things speed along a bit. I think the whole book will be about Lowell’s arrival and first few days/weeks. There are simply too many precious pictures to skip from his birth to now without covering every little bit. Maybe I’ll never finish… who knows… this is quite addictive.
Now I need to go clean my kitchen, since I just “close all” in photoshop and the “mess” is gone.
edited to add — one more! (I didn’t stick to the jungle george kit afterall…) I’m on a roll! This is Lowell’s weigh-in. So much more gentle than plopping the baby on a sterile cold metal scale. He was soooo fussy before we weighed him but being wrapped in that sling fabric calmed him down like magic. It was amazing! Everything was amazing, loving, and gentle about the birthing center. I wonder now why hospitals have to make everything so cold. I can’t wait to have another baby at the birthing center!!!
as always, click on the picture for the credits — there are a bunch of them in this one.
