Waiting

It’s an odd time, waiting for the birth of your first child. In theory, we have been waiting for nine months, or really, since we got married, for this to happen, but now that it is here it is almost surreal. Jeff and I act like we are dating again – going to dinner at fancy, “kid free” restaurants, going to movies, for long walks through our neighborhood, to get ice cream late at night, playing board games and walking through the streets of downtown. We do things that we will not be able to do for a long time, and that when we finally do, we will have another person with us.

I want to capture these moments on film, so we bring our camera, taking pictures of what we were doing in the days before our life will be changed forever, for the better. Before we became three.
