There was a time when I thought I wasn’t able to have another baby. I’d be bitter at people complaining about their pregnancies, or how they complain about the way their kids drive them crazy. I came close to giving them ‘you should be grateful’ comments. Lord knows I prayed for that. It seemed like everywhere I went, every wedding I worked there was at least 1 pregnant person. All I kept thinking was ‘NO FAIR!’
Ofcourse I was already grateful to have one. Just thinking I wasn’t able to have another was pretty heartbreaking.
I was such a negative person then.
One day I found my book ‘The Secret’ that I had on my book shelf for a while. It was pretty inspiring, so I followed it wanting to be more grateful, more positive. Even thought positive about having that prime parking in front of the store, haha!
On 11-12-13 I found out the happy news, right before heading out to shoot my wedding. I was grateful all through pregnancy, even through the sickness, aches and pains. When the Braxton Hicks contractions came, I was saying how grateful I was through gritted teeth, hehe.
Our days have been happier, brighter, wonderfuller (that’s a word right? haha) since she came into our lives. I look at her and can’t stop thinking how blessed we are. I enjoy her cries, melt at her smiles, and don’t even mind my new spit up perfume. The 3 of us would fight on who gets to hold her. It’s been so great, I even feel grateful to get up at 2 in the morning to feed her.
Welcome to the world baby girl. We love you. Thank you Alisa Greig for taking our photos in film. .jpg)
