Yesterday I woke up with a plan, I was taking the kids to school, editing until 3pm, and then going to shoot a maternity session for PJ .
Boy did plans change.
I noticed as I sat down at my desk that I had a couple of texts, one said, 11:35pm “Headed to the Hospital to get checked… think my water just broke!” I was wracking my brain, thinking of who it could be because I don’t have any newborns due until the end of December, and then found out it was PJ..
I instantly felt excited and bad at the same time, PJ was super excited about her maternity session and now she was going to miss it. I Decided that, that wasn’t an option and (thankfully) having the day almost free I suggested that maybe a birth session was in order because, darn it, we were going to shoot today.
PJ had been in labor since midnight so I rushed over to the hospital hoping not to miss the good parts. PJ was tired but excited, she’s been waiting for this baby for quite some time. I have never seen someone smile so much through delivery… that could have been from the epidural though.
Every time I photograph a birth I am amazed and fascinated. We women are amazing, growing perfect little people in our bellies. PJ was amazing through the entire thing, she kept rubbing her belly saying, “Remember what we talked about… shoot right on out like a Canon.” and at 12:13pm, Canon Morgan was born on his daddies birthday, December 1st, 2010, welcome to the world little man.
