Today The Joy of Love class assignment was to take a photo, How They Look.
I picked storm baby for this photo as she is just so very different. She is beautiful and amazing and a force of nature. I call her my storm baby as I got pregnant with her when wonder hubby was on leave from being deployed. He left me a gift…. one that made me so so sick. It was my hardest pregnancy and 99% without him. He was there for her conception and that was it. My water broke with her and then she waited 48 hours after to finally come into the world. It was a near silent home birth in water. She battled me with everything, specially nursing. She still battles me. She washes over you if she does not agree or she hangs there out of touch, as if in her own world. She sucks her fingers so so often, specially when she is distant from the moment. When she lets someone into her world, when she is present, it is simply amazing. So much beauty and wonder. Sometimes she makes me feel like we are living with this magical creature. She is my storm baby.
