I documented the birth of Cohen, which has changed me as a person.
I remember walking out of the hospital, the morning sky still dark. The air of dawn sang its way, deep into my lungs, filling me with new life. I drove back to the Granger's home where Kesh lay sleeping with the three eldest. My eyes stung and were begging to be closed, just for a little while. Kesh stirred when I arrived. We lay there, on a blow up mattress, softly speaking to each other about what Jeremy and Stacey had been through only hours ago.
The truth is, Kesh was never far from my thoughts. She never is...but that night I couldn't help but think about how soon, this will be us.
And I look forward to the day that it is.
I will rub your back and I will tell you I love you.
I will believe in you, even if you don't.
I'll stay awake with you - all through the night. And when the morning comes, I will hold you, with our little one between us. I'll kiss you and tell you how amazing you are.
Because you are. You're amazing to me.

ReplyDeletesniff sniff. makes my heart warm. :)
ReplyDeleteChris will wonder why I'm always crying everytime your blog is on my screen. "I will believe in you, even if you don't." You are lucky to have each other!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. I love that the rainbow echoes her top! xx

ReplyDeleteIt's the best thing ever. Life before is surface-level stuff. Enjoy the journey!
ReplyDeleteand you'll say to her: "Keshy, you CAN and you ARE doing it." And she'll find her fierce Muma energy and your baby will be born - on an exhalation. Always on the soft, grounding, outward breath of letting go.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful comment :)
DeleteI love how she looks through the camera to you with those beautiful eyes...so intensely. Your bond is so strong, your baby will be literally pulled out by the strength of the two of you :)

ReplyDeleteHave butterflies in anticipation for how you'll describe the birth of your own baby. You might just be speechless :) Agree with Alison, life before baby is purely surface level "stuff" x
