Dear Brittany,
I am sitting here trying to write up this post on your maternity session and just can’t seem to find the words to say what my heart feels. So I think I will try and put it into a letter form cause everything I want to say is to you, personally. So where do I even begin? let me start with how incredible you look, You sure have rocked the pregnant belly and I know you are not quite feeling like your old self and want your pre pregnant body back. I can relate I felt the exact same way carrying you. Try and embrace these final moments with your unborn child, there is an incredible beauty in waiting for a new baby to arrive. Rest, relax and relish in those movements, I know baby is slowing down in preparation for arrival into the world, but you will actually miss feeling that someday! I know you are having some overwhelming emotions right now, what to expect in labour and delivery to bringing home a new baby and adjusting to life with a newborn. Trust me its all normal and I know you are going to be just fine. You come from a long line a very strong women and I know if this little one is a girl she too will be a little warrior.
I think back to when I brought you into the world nothing prepared me for the most incredible love I have ever felt. The love a mother has for her child is a love you can’t put into words. I remember being a little girl and feeling how deep my mother loved me. Speaking of her I think this baby has some very special angels that she/he has crossed paths with before entering earth! I can’t wait to see who this little spirit is going to be! I honestly still have not quite wrapped my mind around all of it! I mean we are about to welcome a new family member into our lives. Rumour has it being a grandparent is quite the ride, and I can’t wait to experience it! I pray I live a long rich life so that I can see her/him grow up. It still breaks my heart that my mom was taken out of your life at such a young age. I have visions of things I am going to do with this little one like making forts and reading stories and baking and of course dressing up. I am not sure what kind of a grandmother I am going to be but I know for sure I am going to love this baby to bits. I want to do all of the things that I didn’t do as a mom cause I was too worried about having a clean house or having to worry about bills or if we had enough money for bread and milk the next day. Although I wouldn’t trade any of those hard times it does make me sad that it all passed by oh so quickly. Don’t worry about the small stuff Brit! I heard a quote the other day and it sure summed things up! ” the days are long and the years are short” that is so very true. My mother said to me when my babies were little “these are the best days of your life and you don’t even realize it” You know when I heard that I was like ” ya right ma?” but she was so very right! So my words to you and Tim are ” suck the marrow out of every moment with this little one”
Brit and Tim I know you are both going to be incredible parents and about to embark on one of the most challenging jobs on earth but by far the most rewarding. This little one is going to be a blessing to many! I know papa didn’t get to meet this baby like I expected but I can’t help but think they already have! I know dad and I can’t wait to fall in love and begin our journey as grandparents! I love you my number 1 girl and I will be right there with you through all of it! xoxo
Love and God Bless Mom
